Fibromyalgia Awareness Day (May 12, 2009) at Lumigrate
Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 3:48 pm, by Mardy Ross
We really hussled at Lumigrate to do our part with Fibromyalgia Awareness Days on Facebook today. We've made a lot of new friends ('Lumigrate Webucation' is our business page and 'Lumigrate.com' is our group on facebook) and were pleased to see them liking the 'Clip or Tip o' the Day' enough to 'Share' it so their friends could presumably be enlightened and entertained!
We created a new topic in the Forum area here for people to write about their Fibromyalgia Awareness Day experiences, and invite anyone to contribute or read. We hope that more people will start utilizing the forum areas for the other health topics as well.
We also have set up a couple of links to pertinent FMS Awareness areas -- one of Lumigrate's core intentions is to streamline the process of finding relevant and reliable yet progressive information on health topics. In spending a lot of time in the Facebook fibromyagia groups and discussion boards, there is a lot of good discussion going on which is good to see and I'm having sympathy for the people who are really struggling to look for good information, because I know how difficult it is when you are not feeling well.
I've encountered some amazing people and have started the ball rolling with a number of organizations, and I look forward to where we are on the next Fibromyalgia Awareness Day -- more people informed, more people aware, involved and getting better!
We look forward to the increasing discussions at Lumigrate and suggested there be a "think tank" from the active fibromyalgia 'elders' who can contribute what they have done to get better and that others can read and learn from. We are pleased people have used the forum area to tell their stories about fibromyalgia and might put that in a special area for people to read as well.
We're a work in progress, so progress it is! We're all in it together.
