New Number 10 E Petition for Fibromyalgia Syndrome sufferers

A new petition has been submitted to the Number10.gov.uk website by a UK Fibromyalgia Syndrome sufferer.

The petition reads:

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to address the issue of lack of specialised Fibromyalgia care by the setting up of dedicated Regional NHS Fibromyalgia Clinics or Centres in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England."

To sign a petition, you must be a British citizen or resident and you will need to give your name, address and email on the form provided. Once you have "signed" the petition, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you wish to add your name to the petition by clicking a link. Once you have done this, your name will be added to the petition. If the petition receives over 200 "signatures" then a response should be given by the Government.

A petition asking "the Prime Minister to ensure that doctors are educated about Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain", that was submitted by FibroAction founder Lindsey Middlemiss, closed on 21 February 2009 with over 200 signatures - we are waiting to see if a response will be given.
