Awareness Day
May. 12th, 2004 01:38 pmSo I kicked off FM Awareness Day with a doctor's appointment. I thought it was rather approriate. Then I went downtown and protested by walking up and down the s treets shopping for fabric and whatever else I could get my hands on - so I now have all my fabric (thank god), Robert's birthday present a few books for myself. I couldn't resist, and they were uber cheap as the place was going out of business.
I am currently unsure how I'm sitting up, but whatever.
CFIDS and M.E. are two alternate names for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, sister to Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Click to learn more about FMS or if you want to know what it's like to live with it, try The Spoon Theory. On that same note, you can always try visiting the Fibromyalgia LJ community. It's full of rants and helpful tips - and an amusing top ten list for why our activism/celebrations for the day failed miserably.
I also need to get myself a blue ribbon - it's the symbol for these two syndromes. I would have made the icon in blue if I'd known. :P
Happy FMS day!
