What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia (pronounced fy-bro-my-AL-ja) is a common and complex chronic pain disorder that affects people physically, mentally and socially. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome rather than a disease. Unlike a disease, which is a medical condition with a specific cause or causes and recognizable signs and symptoms, a syndrome is a collection of signs, symptoms, and medical problems that tend to occur together but are not related to a specific, identifiable cause.

Fibromyalgia, which has also been referred to as fibromyalgia syndrome, fibromyositis and fibrositis, is characterized by chronic widespread pain, multiple tender points, abnormal pain processing, sleep disturbances, fatigue and often psychological distress. For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities.

Whether you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia or suffer from its symptoms, or have a family member or friend with the disorder, this section is designed to provide you with a better understanding of this chronic pain disorder that affects millions of people worldwide.

FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS DAY!!!! is MAY 12, 2011
 
New York Fibromyalgia Association, Inc. is calling it "500 for Fibro"

We need 500 members signed up by May 12th - by doing this, TD Bank will make a donation of 10% to our cause when anyone who already has an account or anyone opens a new account requests to be added onto the "AFFINTIY PLAN" under "New York Fibromyalgia Association, Inc." This does not in any way affect YOUR account. It only helps the cause.
Please join us by signing up online through facebook or by coming to our meetings if you or someone you know has this painful chronic syndrome called FIBROMYALGIA. You do NOT have to be local in order to help out. You do NOT have to be on facebook to sign up either. To Avoid Facebook (as I know some people will want) & (knowing TD Bank is only on the East Coast), you can sign up by emailing a reply (not "reply all" please) to me with the phrase "PLEASE SIGN ME UP"  (be sure to sign your name as you would like it to appear on the www.NYFibroAssoc.com website.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kris Corleone - Founder/President
