Why is Fibromyalgia Awareness important?

WHY IS FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS IMPORTANT?
Building awareness of fibromyalgia is important for so many reasons:

• there is currently no cure for fibromyalgia
• there are no medications that are specific to treating fibromyalgia
• fibro is usually a life long condition that can affect many parts of the body
• many people are misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia
• there are many misconceptions about fibromyalgia
• to encourage research into fibromyalgia
• to help decision makers address the issues of those living with fibromyalgia

WHEN?

Every day on social media we share information to help raise fibromyalgia awareness. 

In May we run a special Fibromyalgia Awareness program called #ThisIsFibro where we share extra information and encourage others to share.
