Video on History of Fibromyalgia

It is International Awareness Day which falls on Florence Nightingales birthday each year. Around the world on May 12th there are events, awareness being raised and activities about increasing the awareness of fibromyalgia.

We thought this year as we have been creating a series of video content that we would create one that shows the history of fibromyalgia. Some people think it is a new condition with some dismissing it as a fad or made up. It is not and it is certainly not new. Veterans returning from World War 2 were dismissed as some still are today.

When checking out the videos on our YouTube channel be sure to Like and Subscribe and keep an eye out for new videos.
