Fibromyalgia ! Better Assessment & Treatment With The NHS

I, and all those who suffer from Fibromyalgia, the chronic pain, chronic fatigue, digestive & sleeping issues and all other associated medical conditions need to be treated with alternative therapies not just a pile of pills, some really struggle to cope and manage, some wait for decades to be diagnosed, & even when diagnosed we struggle to be taken seriously by medical professionals and struggle to get provision within the NHS or referrals to out patient clinics & clinicians who may be able to help us. And even when we are given referral letters, the waiting time for an actual appointment is much longer than the stated amount of time quoted by the NHS.

Why is this important?

Many people do not understand Fibromyalgia or even know what it is, therefore cannot understand the suffering that comes from having this medical condition & all the others associated with it.
