Fibromyalgia Syndrome (Fibro) affects at least 1-in-50 people in the UK.
FibroAction's awareness campaign theme for the 2009 International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day on May 12th will be "1-in-50" focusing on how many people do not realise that they know someone with Fibro, but that as Fibro affects at least 1-in-50 people in the UK, most people will know someone with the condition.
