Be Aware of the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain disorder that affects an estimated 10 million Americans. While it occurs most often in women, it strikes men and children, and all ethnic backgrounds. For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia (FM) can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities.

May 12th is National Fibromyalsia Day.  The local support group currently has an informational display in the library's exhibit window.  Stop by, learn more about this chronic pain disorder, and get contact information for the local group.

With a diagnosis, help, and support, chronic pain sufferers can be physically fit and active.
