MAY 12TH ANNUALLY IS INTERNATIONAL FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS DAY, WHEN WE COMMEMORATE THE  BIRTHDATE OF OUR PATRON, NURSE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, WHO WAS KNOWN AS 'THE LADY WITH THE LAMP' DURING THE DREADFUL KRIMEAN WAR. SHE THEREAFTER LIVED IN SECLUSION AND BECAME VERY ILL, WRITING HER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.  SHE WAS THE 1ST KNOWN FIBROMYALGIC, WITH HER DIARIES HAVING BEEN PURCHASED AND STUDIED BY CANADIAN PROFESSOR MOLDOFSKY IN 1972. INTERNATIONALLY, ALL WHO COMMERORATE THIS DAY WEAR A YELLOW RIBBOW, FLY A YELLOW FLAG, DRESS IN YELLOW TO SHOW EMPATHY AND TOGETHERNESS. ANNUALLY I TALK ON MOST NATIONAL RADIO STATIONS ON THIS AUSPICIOUS DAY, AND GIVE MOTIVATIONAL TALKS, AND WRITE ARTICLES FOR THE PRINT MEDIA FOR AWARENESS TO GROW ABOUT THIS STILL SOMETIMES, LITTLE KNOWN CHRONIC ILLNESS, I WISH ALL WHO READ THESE PAGES ON THAT DAY, SOLEMNITY, CALM, WELLNESS, CHANGE AND AND LESS DISTRESS.

BEST WISHES,

SHARON LEVIN
