Support For All Ages
One condition that’s easy to overlook in children, teens and young adults is fibromyalgia. When fibromyalgia and chronic pain happen at younger ages it can be frustrating and very isolating. Much of the information found online does not apply to children and young adults, or it is outdated in light of newer research. Our goal is to clear up this confusion and increase local resources such as creating school advocates, providing mentorship and training for parents in advocacy roles.
