"Fibromyalgia:
My Journey to Wellness"
Claire Musickant, Former FM sufferer
Claire will speak on how and why the world we live
in is making it difficult for us to stay healthy. For the most part, the
medical system has given up on us. Fortunately, she found a small group
of doctors who helped her get well. Claire has been well for several years
and helped develop a study, which indicated that others can get well too.
Musickant, a consultant and trainer, has conducted seminars and workshops
for government agencies, universities, small businesses and major corporations.
She is the author of Fibromyalgia: My Journey to Wellness.
"How to Avoid the
Seven Biggest Mistakes That Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Patients
Make"
R. Vincent Satterwhite, D.C.
Dr. Satterwhite will reveal the biggest mistakes that
fibromyalgia sufferers make. Why fibromyalgia is so consistently misdiagnosed
and mistreated by mainstream medicine. Why people suffer needlessly for
years on end when, very often, there are simple solutions to their physical
ailments. Why drugs complicate this condition and will definitely not
fix the underlying problems! Dr. Satterwhite practices in Kansas City.
"When Mamma Don't
Feel Well, Ain't Nobody Happy"
Mary Moeller, LPN, Former FM/CFS sufferer
When Mom is sick, who takes care of her? Mary encourages
and inspires those with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and other
autoimmune problems to step outside the box of traditional treatments

International Awareness
Day
The first International Awareness Day was held on
May 12,1991. This day was chosen because of its significance as Florence
Nightingale's birthday. Nightingale was bedridden with a disease resembling
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when she founded the National Red Cross.
Awareness Day events are now held worldwide in an
effort to focus attention on fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical
sensitivities, implant syndrome, and Gulf War syndrome, thereby increasing
the impact of the efforts to educate the general public, the media and
health care professionals.
Fibromyalgia Coalition International (FCI) is dedicated
to instilling HOPE through education, support and encouragement of people
with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
If you have Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue don't
miss out on this experience that can change your life!
Register now while it's
fresh on your mind!
