Another giveaway in honor of Fibromyalgia Awareness month is a $10 Starbucks gift card giveaway! First, the reason behind the giveaway – spreading awareness of the chronic illness, fibromyalgia.
What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that has widespread chronic pain that affects the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It is an invisible illness because it’s symptoms cannot be seen by others. It is a multi-faceted disease and has a vast array of symptoms that each vary in degree of severeness.
They are many treatments for fibromyalgia including medicinal, natural, physical, and alternative treatments. Read about my daily natural treatment regiment.
Read all my posts in the fibromyalgia category.
Sharing information about fibromyalgia increases awareness which increases the funding for research. Please share this post (of course the giveaway!) with your friends, family, and others and help us spread the awareness of fibromyalgia!
Here is a list of events taking place for Fibromyalgia Awareness Day on May 12.
Now to the giveaway…

i know of it but have not experienced it. my dad has been diagnosed with it and often complains of it. i don’t see him often so i don’t see its effects but he is no longer able to work because of it (and a couple other health problems)
I’m sorry to hear that about your dad. He will be in my prayers and send warm thoughts to him.
