A doctor has revealed four things that can 'trigger' fibromyalgia, a condition which causes pain all over the body, after BBC Radio 4 presenter Kirsty Young opened up about her diagnosis
A doctor has highlighted four factors that could "trigger" a severely painful condition, which BBC Radio 4 presenter Kirsty Young has been battling.
Young had to step away from her role on "Desert Island Discs" in 2018 after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, conditions known for causing swollen and painful joints, according to the NHS. He continued: "The first trigger is a serious accident, like a car crash. Number two is an infection. Now the most common ones are things like Lyme's Disease or Epstien-Barr virus.
"Some experts suggest that experiencing trauma in childhood or at a very young age could increase the risk of developing fibromyalgia later in life."
