Do you or a loved one have pain all over? Do you feel overly tired or have difficulties concentrating? If so, fibromyalgia may be the cause. Many people with undiagnosed fibromyalgia (fibro) lack awareness or understanding about their condition and actions they can take to support a diagnosis and proper management. Maybe that person is you!
This project is being piloted in Missouri where we are working with community and state based alliance groups and fibro advocates to disseminate our superb Is Fibro the Cause? toolkit chock full of helpful tips and resources on how to recognize fibromyalgia’s signs and symptoms and seek treatment. The toolkit includes a worksheet to help track symptoms and facilitate communication with your health care provider. Click here for a list of collaborators and places where you can pick-up a toolkit. Some of our collaborators will also be offering Is Fibro the Cause? community presentations during Pain Awareness Month in September. To see if there is a presentation in your community, check out our Events List, putting ‘MO’ in the state search field. If you don’t see anything listed, keep checking back as events and locations will be continually added.
