Lack of awareness about fibromyalgia means around 1,600,000

British women and 400,000 British men continue to

be marginalised because their condition is not properly recognised.

Please raise awareness in whatever ways you can

for the UK Fibromyalgia week. (Second week of September)

UK Fibromyalgia is committed to ensuring that all people with

fibromyalgia have access to fast and accurate diagnosis,

that they receive effective evidence based treatments and

that they are not discriminated against because of their condition.

Interesting fact or not maybe..~.. FMS Awareness day is this day because it is Florence Nightingtgale's date of birth and she was known in her life to suffer Chronic Fatigue Symptoms and pain possibly early signs of Fibromyalgia
