Allow Pain Medication for Fibromyalgia sufferers

Allow Pain Medication for Fibromyalgia sufferers

The Issue

I have become aware of an increasing situation that Fibromyalgia sufferers are having their pain medication taken away from them?
These actions increase our depression rates and make sufferers increasingly suicidal.
As you may know Fibromyalgia is a long term condition that causes widespread pain all over our bodies, when someone is in pain we need pain medication.
Whilst I understand this is not a cost effective way to manage our condition, it is amongst others including gentle exercise, physio therapy and yoga etc that greatly benefits us. Without pain relief exercise may not be possible.
I would like to suggest less pressure on Doctors to prescribe pain relief to Fibromyalgia sufferers in need. I hope we can work together to make that a possibility? By signing this petition we are making our first stand together.
