She is the author of Fibromyalgia: My Journey to Wellness.

Dr. Satterwhite will reveal the biggest mistakes that fibromyalgia sufferers make. Why fibromyalgia is so consistently misdiagnosed and mistreated by mainstream medicine. Why people suffer needlessly for years on end when, very often, there are simple solutions to their physical ailments. Why drugs complicate this condition and will definitely not fix the underlying problems! Dr. Satterwhite practices in Kansas City.

International Awareness Day
The first International Awareness Day was held on May 12,1991. This day was chosen because of its significance as Florence Nightingale's birthday. Nightingale was bedridden with a disease resembling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when she founded the National Red Cross.
Awareness Day events are now held worldwide in an effort to focus attention on fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, implant syndrome, and Gulf War syndrome, thereby increasing the impact of the efforts to educate the general public, the media and health care professionals.
Fibromyalgia Coalition International (FCI) is dedicated to instilling HOPE through education, support and encouragement of people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
If you have Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue don't miss out on this experience that can change your life!
