The information session hosted by the San Dimas Library on December 3 rd was a great success!

So many people showed up that extra chairs were needed for the power point presentation given by the National Fibromyalgia Association. Of those who attended most were women, about 75%, but there were some men too, including a doctor. All there that night learned new things about fibromyalgia, and made new friends as well.

The power point presentation was very helpful in explaining fibromyalgia for both lay and professional attendees, the question and answer session that followed showed that the National Fibromyalgia Association is an organization that is dedicated and knowledgeable, with experienced staff who can be of great assistance to those who need help-now.

At least 2 new local support groups are now planning to be formed, and we look forward to more groups in the future as the recognition and acceptance of this syndrome starts reaching the greater population.

A big Thank You must go to Barbara Nightingale of the San Dimas library for her interest in fibromyalgia and concern for the health and wellbeing of the general public. Barbara and staff provided refreshments and other equipment needed to make this a great success and now has a series of books available to check out. A more gracious hostess would be hard to find. Thank you again Barbara! Another big thank you must also go to Phyllis Talarico for her driving through such traffic to make it to the library and for putting together so much information, a great session!

Best of Health to All

Sincerely

Linda
