May is Fibromyalgia Awareness Month and ProHealth say, ‘Help us raise awareness and dispel the myths about this disease’. Write your story of Fibromyalgia on their site Fibromyalgia Awareness Healing Story Meaning originally written by Rebuilding Wellness.
Zazzle an American site has a number of Fibromyalgia Awareness Gifts from t. shirts to key rings. T. shirts are also available from Cafe Press UK. Another brilliant site for anything Fibro related is Fibro Blogger a Directory of People who Blog about Fibromyalgia. So, if you blog about people join this amazing directory of Fibro Bloggers.
There is also a Facebook Site which is promoting May 12th as ‘International ME/CFS/& FM Awareness Day’ so pop over and give them a tick or a donation to help raise awareness of these diseases.

I quite like the idea of the fibro gifts to show support, make people feel a little less alone in what they’re going through. Great post to raise awareness of fibro & the ‘reality’ of what it is and what people can experience in terms of invisible but life altering symptoms!

Thanks Caz. I made some lovely cards ( well I thought so) with a purple ribbon and sparkly bits just to send to someone who was having a bad time but I couldn’t even give them away. I guess if I keep popping posts on items to buy it might stir up interest. Bar x
