More details from petition creator
Research shows that between 5-8% of the population suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain, yet most sufferers are not diagnosed until they have suffered for at least 2 years.
We need awareness to be increased so that patients will be diagnosed earlier on and be able to start treatment sooner.
Patients should not have to wait for more than 2 years for a diagnosis of a condition that is so common!
Most medical degrees include only 1 or 2 lectures about fibromyalgia and myofascial pain, despite the fact that more than 1 in 20 people suffer from these painful conditions! Doctors need to learn more about fibromyalgia.
