Fibromyalgia has been recognized by the World Health Organization since 1992.
History
Born in Great Britain on May 12, 1820, Florence Nightingale worked as a nurse when she contracted a severe form of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia around the age of 35. She spent most of the last 50 years of her life bedridden. Despite her illness, Florence Nightingale inspired the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and she also founded one of the first nursing schools. She is a symbol of resistance and fight against illness. This is why this symbolic date of May 12 was chosen.
