Tokyo Fibromyalgia Patient Looks For Successor To Spread Awareness
Thursday 21 December 2017
From English-language Japanese newspaper The Mainichi:
 The fibromyalgia awareness badge that Michiko Asano produced, which says, "Do you know about fibromyalgia? It's a disease that causes chronic, unbearable pain. It can trigger acute pain by just a touch. Your understanding is appreciated." (Image: harumare345) |
Tokyo fibromyalgia patient looks for successor to spread awareness
A Tokyo-based woman with fibromyalgia, a rare disease characterized by chronic body pain, is looking for someone to take over her awareness-raising activities about the illness.
Michiko Asano, 41, who developed the condition in 2012, is mostly bedridden nowadays but is determined to find a successor and spread awareness about the disease.
To date, Asano's activities include the creation of an educational metallic badge regarding the disease -- the proceeds of which went toward victims of the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016.
