I have been living and suffering with Fibromyalgia since my diagnosis in March of 2005. I have been looked down on from the Medical community (except for my AWESOME PPO) and I have been put down, made fun of and ignored. This is just as real as MS, Parkinson's, even cancer. We have heard tons about MS (thank you Mr. Montel Williams) and Parkinson's (Thank you Mr. Michael J Fox) Everywhere you go you either know someone with cancer or has a family member with cancer. You dont hear anything about Fibromyalgia. This is our turn to bring to light this very real disability. I cant play ball with my Son, I cant chase my Daughter down the side walk, I cant walk a long way, I cant run. It has robbed me of so much time from my children as they are growing up so fast right in front of me. I have been told by a Senetor and a Coungressman that if I got 1000 local signatures and 4000 US signatures this could be brought in front of the congress of the US and in front of our State to make this just as real and important as any other disbabaling disease. Please help me help all the other 5 million people in the States that are living in fear, pain and worry from Fibromyalgia.
Thank you for your time and patience. To learn more please go to my websites
