Episode 289: Helping the Invisible Sufferers Become Visible, with Nick Demos

For this week’s episode, I brought back Nick Demos, who I first interviewed back in May of 2020, to share a new documentary he produced and directed called, “Invisible: The Film”. This documentary is the first comprehensive feature documentary that tells the often ignored stories of people living with the devastating syndrome Fibromyalgia that many still don’t believe exists.

In this episode, Nick and I talked about:

• How the documentary came about and what the film’s name has to do with the topic of Fibromyalgia.
• The many things both he and I learned about the disease - me from watching it and he from making it.
• The unexpected news he got during the filming.
• Various lifestyle changes that are believed to help minimize the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

One of the patients highlighted in the film is Nick’s mom who has suffered from Fibromyalgia for 10+ years. While making the film he was able to better understand her struggle with the syndrome and learn a lot about the frustrations that come with it, like limited medical support - largely resulting from a lack of understanding by most doctors - and a lack of insurance coverage for necessary medications and treatment.

Nick hopes that this film will enlighten those who watch it and help those who are suffering from Fibromyalgia find hope and relief with some of the approaches and treatments discussed. 

Tune into this episode AND the film to learn more about Fibromyalgia and why it’s referred to as invisible.
