Write a Letter to the Editor
I have been planning on doing this for years and just haven't gotten it done. Still, I would encourage everyone who is interested in promoting fibromyalgia awareness to write to the editors of your newspapers and ask that they include an article on Fibromyalgia Awareness Day for May 12.

National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day aims to increase awareness of FM and provide support to those coping with the illness.
May 12 is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, a time to increase awareness of this chronic and life-altering disorder by educating the general public, healthcare professionals, government officials, and legislative bodies.
