Her accompanying, light-hearted caption read: ‘She’s “out out” for a walk folks! I know it doesn’t sound like anything brilliant – But I’ve had one of those days where it’s taken me FOREVER to get myself out of the door today! 

‘Jacks pacing about like a mad man as he did the school run this morning and he’s losing the will to live! Even the dogs are rolling their eyes at me…[sic] But sometimes I just have SO much to do and think of that no one else would even dream of sorting in the family! 

It’s overwhelming me! Right – I’m off! Note for the day: Do things at your own pace, in your own time… The world can wait… ✌PS. Brilliant how shades make an outfit… never ceases to amaze me [sic]’.

WHAT IS FIBROMYALGIA?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition defined by widespread pain and fatigue.

It affects up to 2.7 per cent of people worldwide, with three women suffering for every one man, studies suggest.

Fibromyalgia is often triggered by a trauma, such as a car accident or childbirth, as well as infections. Why this occurs is unclear.

The discomfort tends to be felt as aches and burning from head-to-toe.

And the fatigue ranges from feeling sleepy to the exhaustion of having the flu.

Severe sufferers are often unable to work or socialise. 

The pain can be worse at some times than others and may change location, such as becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used the most.

Other symptoms can include headaches; IBS; diarrhoea or constipation; poor concentration; dizziness; allergies and stimuli sensitivity, such as to light or heat.

Studies suggest the average patient waits five years to be diagnosed, which is thought to be due to X-rays and other medical tests not picking the condition up.

It is generally defined as pain that lasts for more than three months and affects 11 or more out of 18 tender points when pressed.

Treatment aims to relieve pain and aid sleep.

Martine later shared a snippet of her day out with husband Jack and their dogs, saying on her Instagram story: ‘Yay! I did it, I’m out – she’s out out! Woohoo!’ 

Turning to Jack, she quizzed: ‘How hard was it to get me out today?’ to which he said: ‘Three hours!’ 

Last month, the Laurence Olivier Award winning actress revealed it has taken her ‘such a long time to do what works for me’ as she opened up on her health and staying in shape.   

In an interview with OK! magazine, the Love Actually star noted that she didn’t like to discuss her weight but told how she stays in shape by following the 80/20 rule diet, which she revealed ‘works for me’.

The chat also saw Martine open up on how she copes with her fibromyalgia, with the beauty detailing how having a cold shower helps with her symptoms.

Martine has recently embarked on a modelling career after having been signed by Elite model agency, which has represented supermodels including Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.   

And it’s not hard to see why Martine has been snapped up, with the stunner showcasing her svelte frame in a photoshoot in the magazine.

Discussing her frame, Martine told how it hasn’t always been straightforward in finding the right healthy eating lifestyle that works for her, with the star stating how important it is to just be the ‘best version’ of herself.  

She said: ‘I think it takes a long time to work out what your own recipe is. It’s taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there, and do just what works for me. So it’s not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel it’s really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves.’

Detailing her diet, she added: ‘The 80/20 rule is what works for me. For 80% of my week, I will have mainly just healthy proteins, vegetables and fruit, organic and veggie juices, and Flora ProActiv spread. And then I’ll have treats 20% of the time.’

She details how she indulges in pizza, chocolate or a G&T for special occasions, noting that she doesn’t feel guilty because she’s doing ‘good bits for my heart’ for most of the week.
