Fibromyalgia Support Group
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue, and sleep disturbances. The most common sites of pain include the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic girdle, and hands, but any body part can be affected. Fibromyalgia patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities that wax and wane over time.
Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. While it is most prevalent in women, it also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups. Because of its debilitating nature, fibromyalgia has a serious impact on patients' families, friends, and employers, as well as society at large.
The National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA) has a network of support groups across the United States, and encourages participation of the fibromyalgia community. Participation in support groups can provide an opportunity to reach out to others who have had similar challenges and foster an improved understanding of lifestyle management. That is exactly what this group is going to focus on, the opportunities that are available to those members of the Clermont/Lake County area who are suffering and need help.
