The Fibromyalgia Association began in Michigan in 1997 as a Support & Education Group for people living with fibromyalgia. Seventy people showed up for our very first meeting—an early sign of just how much people were looking for information, support, and connection. From those early gatherings, we grew into the Fibromyalgia Association of Michigan, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the fibromyalgia community. In 2001, we began holding our annual Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, bringing together people with fibromyalgia, healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates, and community leaders. Advocacy has remained an important part of our work, alongside helping people better understand fibromyalgia and connect with knowledgeable resources and one another. When the COVID-19 pandemic moved our programs online, something unexpected happened: our community grew well beyond Michigan. People began joining us from across the United States and around the world. As our community changed, our name eventually changed with it. We became simply the Fibromyalgia Association, reflecting the broader community we now serve. Nearly 30 years after that first support group meeting, our purpose remains much the same: to help people with fibromyalgia find reliable information, meaningful support, and a voice in the conversations that affect their lives.
