Thank you Karen,

  In support for all of us that may have to live with these conditions, I heard that there is a ribbon for F.M., that I sure would like to wear, for two reasons, 1) I support all of us that have to go through these conditions everyday, and 2) To educate people who may ask "what does that ribbon stand for" For me personaly I suffer from F.M., and would love to educate people who do not know what F.M. Is, and how it affects us, as well as everyone else you listed...

  So I ask... What color ribbon represents "supporter of F.M" and all the other conditions, so i may proudly wear it on May 12th, from then on......

            Thanks Karen.................Linda

I tried downloading the Living with Fibromyalgia DVD you mentioned in this article using the code from the NFMCPA website and was told that the code to make the download free was expired. I left a post over on the NFMCPA Facebook page asking them for an updated code. I hope they respond in time for me to download this today...

Selena – I just tested this and it worked for me.  Be sure you're using the code FMAWARE2012.  After you enter the code – next to the button that says "Update Coupon" – be sure to click the "Update Coupon" button. 

 

I noticed that your comment here was posted at 3:20 a.m. Eastern time so I'm wondering if there may have been a time zone issue.  NFMCPA is located in the western part of the country so it may be that the free offer was using the Pacific time zone and when you tried to download the DVD, it may not have been midnight there yet.  

 

Please try it again and let me know if you're still having problems.  Good luck! – Karen
