National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day

Today, May 12th, 2012, is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009 although I had symptoms of it for 2-3 years prior. Fibromyalgia has so completely changed my life to the point where I am unable to work or do much of anything even at home. I wanted to share this amazing graphic with you that tells how widespread this disease is, how it affects people with the disease, and the history of the disease.
