| The purpose of the FMS pin is to raise
public awareness about fibromyalgia. Without raising public awareness
NFRA will never achieve enough donation dollars for research either
by government agencies such as NIH or through private contributions.
The pink color denotes women; the crimson color signifies chronic
pain. Together they equal "Women in Chronic Pain."
We realize men and children with fibromyalgia are not addressed
by this pin, but because women's illnesses are in the limelight
right now and fibromyalgia does effect more women, about nine to
one, this is the time to raise interest for research funding. Research
will eventually help all fibromyalgia sufferers, regardless of gender.
Order your pin today, wear it proudly and help educate others regarding
this debilitating syndrome.
