National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day is an important day that helps to raise awareness about fibromyalgia and the impact it has on people’s lives. It can help bring visibility to a condition that affects millions of people around the world, but often goes unrecognised or misunderstood.
Fibromyalgia can be an isolating condition due to its complexity and lack of understanding from others. That's why National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day is so important - by showing our support we let those who are affected know that they are not alone and that we are here for them.
The more attention Fibromyalgia receives, the closer we get to finding an effective way to diagnose and treat it. By acknowledging this day, we can continue to push forward in finding improved treatments and management strategies so that those living with this condition can live happier, healthier lives.
