Fibromyalgia awareness event Saturday at Tamarack

From staff reports
The Register-Herald

It is estimated that about 10 million Americans suffer with fibromyalgia, an illness that causes pain in muscles and joints as well as tenderness to the touch.

At 5 p.m. Saturday in the Gov. Hulett C. Smith Theater at Tamarack, the Virginians Highlands Fibromyalgia Association will host a free showing of the documentary “Living with Fibromyalgia: A Journey of Hope and Understanding.”

The screening, which is free to the public, is part of the National Fibromyalgia Association’s “Fibromyalgia in Focus” campaign for the National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, which is May 12.

A partnership with filmmakers Trillusion Media and the NFA will allow nationwide screenings of the documentary.

“We believe this exciting campaign will bring people together from all over the country to focus on Fibromyalgia in a whole new way,” said Lynne Matallana, president and founder of the NFA.

-----

The Virginia Highlands Fibromyalgia Association is designed to raise awareness of the illness and related conditions among patients, family members, physicians and general public throughout southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia.

Information about fibromyalgia can be found by visiting www.FMaware.org.
