Susan
E. Ingebretson: Author of new book, FibroWHYalgia, to speak at
National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day event at Cal State Fullerton
 Susan Ingebretson, author
of the new book, “FibroWHYalgia,” will be speaking at the National Fibromyalgia
Association’s “National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day” to be held on Saturday, May
15 at Cal State Fullerton from 12 noon to 8:30 pm.
Ingebretson will present
two different discussion topics:
Her first presentation, “Jumpstart Your Wellness Plan With
Nutrition,” details why good nutrition is a vital part of healing. The second
presentation, “FibroWHYalgia: Lifestyle Management Strategies for Healthy
Living,” offers a more comprehensive explanation of what Ingebretson calls, the
“Restoration Trio: nutrition, fitness and emotional wellness.”
“From my own
journey to find a diagnosis, which took about ten years, I know that a big part
of healing is self awareness,” says Ingebretson, who spent nearly another
decade researching her illness. “But, everyone is different, and what works for
me might not work for others. We’re each on separate healing paths and we need
to challenge ourselves. We need to find out what works and move past what
doesn’t.”
“I used to be so passive about my health, but when I became
more aware and self educated -- when I discovered what was right for me -- that’s
when my healing began.”
Committed to helping others afflicted with chronic illness, Ingebretson
serves as the director of program development for the Fibromyalgia Research and
Education Center at California State University, Fullerton. She has
collaborated in an assortment of community education projects with local
support groups and the National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA) to promote
education and understanding of chronic illness.
 She was featured in a new Public Service Announcement from
the NFA released in March. For the first time, the 60-second PSA called “The
Science Behind Fibromyalgia,” gives an overview of cutting-edge
fibromyalgia research and features animation that demonstrates the flow of pain
signals throughout the body.
