Darla Fowler Tarpey, 53, has struggled with fibroymalgia for more than 13 years, the same chronic pain disorder that cripples Lady Gaga.

Fibromyalgia is a multiskeletal disorder that affects five million people in the United States.

The mother-of-five from Massachusetts had to leave her job because her symptoms, such as pain, migraines and muscle spasms, were so severe that it impacted her ability to work.

Lady Gaga experienced similar inabilities to work and has now postponed her world tour’s European leg until next year so she can focus on her health.

The singer admitted to her struggles with fibromyalgia in a new documentary titled Gaga: Five Foot Two that is set to release Friday on Netflix. 

And Darla said celebrities such as Lady Gaga can be an important factor to help raise awareness of the debilitating disorder.
