St. Louis, MO, May 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day will be observed Monday, May 12th and as part of the effort, SBTV.com-Small Business Television, the Internet’s first television network focused on providing information to the small business market is producing ground-breaking programming surrounding Fibromyalgia Syndrome and the impact on the U.S. workforce. SBTV.com is producing a multi-week series of articles, interviews, streaming video segments, podcasts and radio shows examining the many facets of Fibromyalgia on the job.
“Small business owners need to hire and retain valuable employees. With about five percent of the U.S. adult population affected by Fibromyalgia, the viewers and listeners we serve need to be aware of the impact of the disorder and the accommodations to keep people with Fibromyalgia on the job,” explained SBTV.com CEO Susan Wilson Solovic. “Women are disproportionately affected by this chronic and painful disorder and many of our partner organizations for women in business will also be distributing these special reports,” Solovic added.
An interview with Kristin Thorson, one of the nation’s leading advocates for those who work and live with Fibromyalgia Syndrome, joins SBTV.com CEO Susan Wilson Solovic for an exclusive, in-depth discussion of this often misunderstood condition. Thorson is president and founder of both the Fibromyalgia Network and the American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association. The free podcast titled “The Impact of Fibromyalgia Syndrome on the Workforce” is the first part of special programming produced by SBTV.com and supported by Pfizer.
