Getting Back In The Fibro Awareness Pool:

Dear Fibro Warriors,

 

It's almost been two long years since I last connected with you all, and I've missed our community deeply. I owe you an explanation for my absence. Over this time, I faced my own health battles compounded by a relentless wave of family losses, leaving me emotionally and physically drained. However, amidst this challenging hiatus, my dedication to the main cause/issue that people with Fibromyalgia face, has only grown stronger.

 

As the original African American Fibromyalgia advocate and the only (at that time) advocate who was also a first responder, I've made it my life's mission to raise awareness about Fibro, especially within marginalized communities. From research endeavors to speaking engagements at prestigious platforms like the US FDA and the US Dept of Health and Human Services, I've tirelessly worked to amplify the voices of all people with FM.

 

Through 'The Fibro Diva Report' (www.facebook.com/FibroDiva/ and www.fibrodiva.info), I am dedicated to rekindling my efforts in Fibromyalgia Awareness. Personally, I believe that sharing my experiences with this often-debilitating chronic pain condition is the most effective way to raise awareness. It's crucial to openly discuss both our struggles and successes. I find it most comfortable to do so through my blog, "Thoughts In From The Fog" (www.fibrodiva.info/thoughtsinfromthefog) on The Fibro Diva Report website. Additionally, I'll aim to share informative snippets on Facebook.


Engaging the community is essential for spreading awareness of FM. Whether you're personally affected by Fibro or know someone who is, you're part of the Fibromyalgia community. Actions like wearing purple in May, displaying a garden sign, or simply sharing our stories contribute to Fibromyalgia Awareness. Together, let's reignite the flame of awareness and support for Fibromyalgia.


 

With unwavering determination,

Bri
