It was just National Lupus Awareness Day and now it’s National Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS awareness day! Wear purple for Fibromyalgia and blue for MECFS – awareness all around if people ask you about your color choice!
Fibromyalgia and MECFS are not my life, but sadly my life has to revolve around them. They have more control than I do of my own body.
First of all, please read the article I wrote on this topic for The Fight Like A Girl Club: http://www.thefightlikeagirlclub.com/2011/05/may-12-is-fibromyalgia-awareness-day/
It would really mean the world to me. Also, if you want to you can watch this video of moi on the subject!

This is a day very close to my heart.
If you want to know where to send your support – it’s the WP Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease: http://wpinstitute.org/.
Today is our day to be heard. Speak out fellow sufferers!
xoxo,
Annie

How can I get a fibromyalgia ribbon or armband for the big day
I’m not sure, I have a tshirt for the event, but I don’t have any ribbons. I should look into this!
