SCHENECTADY -- A conference on fibromyalgia will be held on May 10 in the Price Chopper Community Room on Eastern Parkway. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points on the body. Fibromyalgia is more common in women.
The Second Annual Fibromyalgia Conference is sponsored by the International Institute for Human Empowerment.
The conference will feature presentations by physicians and a variety of therapists who treat fibromyalgia patients, as well as a Social Security disability attorney and a coordinator for Fibromyalgia Clinical Trials.
Patients and caregivers are invited to attend the conference. Pre-registration is recommended, but participants can also register beginning at 8 a.m. on the day of the event. The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The conference is free, but a $15 donation is suggested, and a two-hour DVD of the conference will be available for $25.
