This year’s Fibromyalgia Awareness Week is from September 5-12, 2023, and, again this year, has been recognized by Health Canada.
During the week of September 5th to 12th, we recognize fibromyalgia and all who experience this illness.
Fibromyalgia Awareness Week is an important time to educate and raise awareness about this chronic condition. It aims to shed light on the challenges faced by Canadians who suffer from fibromyalgia.
Throughout Fibromyalgia Awareness Week FAC will have live speakers and some recorded presentations. So far, we will have Disability Lawyer David Brannen presenting live at 12 pm ET on September 5th, 2023 and Dr. Alia Norman from the Cannabinoid Medical Clinic in Newfoundland presenting live at 2 pm ET on Friday September 8th 2023. The complete schedule will be provided in a future email to FAC members and advertised on the FAC website and Social Media.
Stay tuned for more information.
