It's CFS/Fibromyalgia Awareness Day!
For those who don't know, the date was chosen because it's Florence Nightengale's birthday -- in later life, she spent a lot of time resting because of some disease described in a way that sounds suspiciously like CFS.
At least this year, we can look back on a year of significant medical advances. We've gotten Lyrica FDA-approved for fibro. We've gotten more evidence of biological abnormalities in CFS to permanently defuse the critics who think it's just psychological.
There's still a long way to go, but we're headed in the right direction.
To my fellow patients, Happy Awareness Day! To our dedicated researchers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
