Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal disease that causes widespread pain, with patients often experiencing extreme fatigue, sleep disturbances, depression and headaches.


In the first trailer for her documentary, the pop star was seen at a doctor's office, and at the Toronto Film Festival, she spoke further about how the film explores her struggle.


"It's hard. But it's liberating, too," Gaga said. In an Instagram post back in 2016, the singer wrote, "Having a frustrating day with chronic pain, but I find myself feeling so blessed to have such strong intelligent female doctors."
