World Cancer Day highlights the importance of awareness, early detection, and taking symptoms seriously.

Early detection saves lives

For those of us with fibromyalgia new, persistent, or worsening symptoms should always be investigated & followed up on

Not everything is our fibromyalgia.

Winter is officially half over!

The days are getting a little longer, the light is slowly returning & we’re one step closer to spring

This time of year can still feel tough, but reaching the halfway point is a reminder that change is happening, even if it’s gradual

#HeartAndStrokeMonth is a reminder that heart and brain health matter for everyone.

For people with #fibromyalgia, new or changing symptoms shouldn’t be dismissed as “just fibro.” Fatigue, breathlessness, dizziness, or chest discomfort should be checked.

Black history is Canadian history & it deserves recognition every month, every day.
