Mark your calendars for "Bring Your Fibromyalgia To Work Day" 2008:  

September 5, 2008 will mark the one-year anniversary of the launch of Fibro Works, and has been designated as the first annual "Bring Your Fibromyalgia To Work Day".

Now, this doesn't mean that you broadcast your illness to everyone at work that day!  It may not be a good idea to announce to the world that you suffer from a chronic invisible syndrome such as Fibromyalgia.   No, no.

What you can do that day is raise awareness of Fibromyalgia Syndrome at your workplace in more subtle ways such as wearing a Fibromyalgia t-shirt, posting a bulletin on a virtual or real bulletin board, emailing a link to this web site (with permission from your employer) or other non-intrusive but creative ways to get the message heard.

Remember, you could be working side-by-side with other fibromytes, and could be doing so in complete silence.

Raise awareness of Fibromyalgia and its impact on the workforce! 

Participate in "Bring Your Fibromyalgia To Work Day 2008"
