Lady Gaga has made this film to help people raise awareness about this kind of disabling and complicated condition. She is using her pain to help other victims to strengthen their faith while having the disease. Aside from that, she also teaches other patients to speak about their condition bravely just as she did. Moreover, she also treats her pain as a microphone that will inform everyone everything about the disease. This is a good chance for others who are not familiar with fibromyalgia to get to know it so that they can understand the patients more.
Some even suspect that her song "Till it happens to you" may have a different meaning than what it was originally intended for. Her lyrics: "Till it happens to you, you don't know how it is," relates to many fibromyalgia patients who have trouble with explaining their diagnosis.
