Being Open About How Fibromyalgia Changes You is Hard, but it Can be Rewarding Too

5/25/2018

This week I decided to go to a Love Languages workshop/discussion lead by our local G3 branch (Gather/Grow/Go) and it lead to several moments that left me feeling really good about being open about my Fibromyalgia- which, let's face, is almost never the case. Usually I feel less-than, judged, defeated, or any number of unpleasant emotions after getting real about life with Fibro, but I'm new to the area and am looking to build relationships, and I was legitimately interested in the topic, so before I went I took a moment to set the intention of being open and honest during this talk- and I think it made all the difference.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness around Fibromyalgia. To celebrate, The Fibro-Strong Collective implemented a Fibromyalgia awareness email campaign!

,We emailed a lot of people, and hopefully spread some awareness in the process, and we urge you to do something similar today! Share awareness posts on social media, start conversations with your friends, and if you want to do an email campaign- do it! In fact, we'll share the basics of our campaign with you to get you started!

​We emailed a lot of government officials​, and you can find your government officials using the Town Hall app on Facebook or on https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials​, that's usually a good place to start. Also look for leaders in the industry, influencers, committees, organizations, or anyone else that would matter for the subject of your particular email.
