FIBRO WHAT? FIGHTS BACK
by Jeanne Hambleton
 How often have we all said we are sick of folk saying ‘fibro what’ when we try to describe how we feel?
Help is at hand! It is now set to music and you just hand those folk the new Fibro What? singles CD.
Not only will they hear the upbeat lyrics Dom Collins has set to music, all about our invisible condition, aches and pains, but you can both also listen to three cheeky tongue in cheek songs donated by our comedy singer song writer Dom Collins and have a good giggle. Laughter is the best medicine they say.
 A bright lad from Manchester, well known on the northern circuits for his good clean humour and funny songs about every day life, Dom has written the Fibro What song to help his friend, fibromite Christine Thomson.
“I wanted to do something to raise awareness for May 15 and when Dom offered to help I was delighted.
I am fed up with the lack of government funding and doctors still telling us it is all in our heads, and I am anxious everyone should know more about our invisible disability. I also felt it was important to highlight the need for research to find a cure. So the proceeds from sales will go towards Jeanne Hambleton’s new book PAIN 24/7 The Fibromyalgia Jigsaw©, due to be published in the summer, as the sales money from the book will go to research. The more books we sell the more money for research,” said Chris.
Dom has just signed a contract with a well known agent and expects to be busy playing, singing and making people laugh for the foreseeable future. His reviews compare him to Mike Harding and Richard Digance and claim Dom will go far.
Both Chris and I are delighted to have worked with Dom in these early stages of his future career and on behalf of almost one and a half million fibromites, we cannot thank him enough for helping to raise awareness about fibromyalgia.
Delighted with the new CD which uses her pictures, Chris is offering the new CD to Fibromyalgia Support Groups to sell and play on May 12 at the special events to raise awareness about this rotten disability. This would also make sure fibromites, our members, have the chance to buy a copy.
This is the second time this year that Dom has been benevolent. In January he wrote ‘Jack’s Song’s, a tribute to Jack Judge, the writer of the WWI favourite ‘It’s a long way to Tipperary’. Dom donated the proceeds of this CD to the Army Benevolent Fund (North West).
While climbing the ladder of success, Dom’s work has also been recognised by two Royals, Prince Charles and Prince Edward, as well as PM Gordon Brown and the Leader of the Opposition David Cameron, who were all delighted to receive a copy of the Jack’s Song CD for the January anniversary. You can read the letters on Dom’s website.
