The Fibro Show

06/11/2026

Many of you have noticed that Dr. Ginevra has been away from The Fibro Show. In this special conversation, Ginevra shares a personal health update and talks openly about the unexpected journey she and her family are now facing after being diagnosed with a high-grade malignant brain tumor following emergency surgery in May.

True to who she is, Ginevra brings honesty, wisdom, humor, and hope to this conversation. We talk about what happened, what treatment looks like, what she's focusing on now, and what she wants this community to know.

Most importantly, this is not a goodbye. While the road ahead is uncertain, Ginevra remains committed to the work she loves and hopes to continue being part of The Fibro Show as her health allows.

Thank you for the love and support you've already shown. For decades, Ginevra has dedicated her life to helping people with fibromyalgia find answers, hope, and compassionate care. Now, as she faces radiation, chemotherapy, vision loss, and the inability to continue working, many have asked how they can help. If you'd like to support Ginevra and her family during this difficult time—and help her continue the work that means so much to her—please visit https://www.gofundme.com/.../support-ginevra-after...

Please keep Ginevra and her family in your thoughts as they begin this next chapter together. 💜

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his powerful reminder that justice includes health.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” — MLK Jr.

Dr. King understood that health equity is a civil rights issue. Decades later, too many people—especially those living with chronic illness and pain—are still not believed, not diagnosed early, and not given equitable access to care.

On this MLK Day, let’s recommit to compassion, listening, advocacy, and action—so that everyone has the opportunity not just to survive, but to live well.

💜 Health justice is social justice.
