I am very excited to start introducing a new fibromyalgia warrior to you as often as I can. It is important that our voices be heard and I am happy to use this platform to do so. My objective with this series is to empower others to tell their stories, educate others on fibromyalgia and provide support for the fibromyalgia community.

Why Tell Your Story?
Telling others about our story has many purposes. First, it helps educate others on what we as fibromyalgia warriors go through. Most importantly, it provides a sense of community to those who really need it. You never know who you might be helping out there by telling your story. I have found it very comforting to not only tell my story but listen to others as well.
Fibromyalgia Warrior Interview Series Guidelines:
To be eligible to participate in the interview all you need is to have fibromyalgia. I plan on using a platform like Zoom to record our interview and then I will post it to Fibromomblog Youtube channel and add it to this article. If we get a big turn out, then I may need do a part 2 article. I will ask a few questions just like the one in the video below so we can get to know you.

To make a real change in the fibromyalgia community please contact your local legislators and ask for more funding for fibromyalgia research. Learn more on how to do that with this article from Support Fibro.
If you are looking for a community to give you support join my Facebook closed group, The Chronically Strong Warriors.
I want to hear your thoughts on the subject!
