meetings and fibromyalgia information. Our aim is to fulfill our Mission
Statement and to offer support, we live with and understand the
condition, this enables us to help others who have fibromyalgia, welcome
to our website.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our group aim to vanquish the feelings of anger, fear,
frustration and confusion by offering support and information coupled
with reassurance and encouragement of all sufferers to become positive
and knowledgeable about their condition.
We will endeavour to remove the despair and isolation that many patients
feel after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and share with them how,
together, we can overcome our concerns and take control of our future.
We are dedicated to ensuring that those suffering with
fibromyalgia are able to access information, resources and help that
will enable them to regain their confidence.
Our passion inspires us to take our cause forward by
raising awareness of our condition and its associated difficulties, our
mission is to generate interest in educational material for patients and
professionals, supporting our Fibromyalgia All Party Parliamentary Group
and working together with our colleagues from all fibromyalgia groups.
Our work is ongoing and proactive, we will continue
until recognition of fibromyalgia by all professionals has been achieved
and the disparity of care and treatment removed.
