Hartford, CT (1888PressRelease) September 01, 2008 - Author Kimberley Linstruth-Beckom will be launching a new site and blog to help join in the kick off of National Invisible Illness Awareness Week that will take place this September 8-14. “I’m very excited about this new site that will feature new blogs, articles, news, and projects to my readers. The new blog, Fibro and Fabulous, will have tips for sufferers, which includes how you and your family can cope with the diagnoses, caregiver advice, staying intimate with your mate, and how to live with the illness. My goal is to provide great information in a positive light so sufferers can still feel fabulous despite their having Fibromyalgia.” The new blog, http://fibroandfabulous.blogspot.com, currently has a post to read, while the new site will launch in about a week or two.

Lisa Copen, an advocate of the growing problem here, founded National Invisible Illness Awareness Week in 2002 in the US. One out of two Americans deal with a chronic condition and about 96% of those conditions are invisible. She states, “Though we live with thousands of different illnesses, we have more in common than not. People are tired of hearing, ’But you look so good!’ and they want others to know that their illness is legitimate despite how well they seem to be holding it all together.”
