 Does anyone know the link to Montel? If so I will email him and I agree on Oprah being more fluff. Now what do you think about Steve Wilkos? I will get ahold of my local hospital and see if they can help get the words out also. They are a small hospital but they use to have just a small group that met about fibro. Let me do some checking.

 Angel, contact anyone in your community that you can think of. I just feel that the more we do the better we are doing. I think we should all contact doc offices, hospitals, new papers, radio stations.

We are a community of frinds here, but each of us live in a different community. We need to spread the word in as many communitys as possable.

(sorry everyone but my brain in working right now.)

make a flyer on your computer, make a few copys of it and ask your local grocery store to put one in the windo. Maybe someone here can make us something that we can down load and pass out in our community. Any place, the laundry matt, pizza place, anywhear.

I just feel we really need to do this.

 I just contacted the Local newspaper and the editor has agreed to run an article about it with me telling my story. He wants the link to the National Fibro Awareness web to get more info. He is really interested because his wife was diagnosed about 1 year ago with Fibro. I also told him all about our family and gave him the link for his wife to come join us so that they are not alone either. He suggested I call our local hospital because there is a health fair coming up and we can get our Disease out at that time also. That is April 19th and I tried calling her and I have to call back tomorrow.

We will get the word out ladies. One step at a time.

 Well all anyone can do is try. What helped here is that the editor and his wife are going through it now and they want to know more about it. I will email him the links tomorrow and get ahold of the hospitals in the area and also talk to them about the health fair on April 19th and try to go there with info and get our message and disease out. I know that they call it a syndrome because there is not enough research done but to me and I am sure to all of you this ia a disease not just a syndrome.

Fibro family here is to more Fibro Awareness!!!

Gentle Hugs to all

 Rita, you are doing what we have been talking about. You are educating someone about Fibro. That is a great thing

 I got to thinking last night as I was laying in bed trying to sleep. I hope that I have not upset anyone since I kind of just jumped right in and kind of started to get ahold of people. I do not want to upset anyone, especially you Mydragonfly. I am kind of like that when I think that something is a great idea I kind of go overboard and some people say that I step on toes in the processes. So if I have stepped on any toes or upset anyone with my actions I am truely sorry The last thing that I want to do is upset one of you. Please except my apologies.

Very gentle hugs to you all

Rita

 Rita, you are doing wonderful. I am so happy that you did make contact with the news paper. If you could have seen the smile on my face when I saw your post, you would have known how happy I was. I hope that everyone takes your lead and contacts people to get our word out.

you have nothing to apologize for.

 Thank you I am glad that I did not upset anyone. You know I know that it is to late to help me and my pain but if we can get this out in the open maybe just maybe others do not have to get even half as bad as me. I do not wish this disease on anyone not even my worst enemy. Thank you again.
