PhD Study into FM needs volunteers

Pamela McKay, a Staff Nurse working at a hospital in Scotland, is currently working on a PhD with the University of the West of Scotland.  The title of her study is ' An exploratory study into the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomeylitis and Fibromyalgia'.

The study has secured ethical approval from the University of the West of Scotland and Pamela has been awarded a scholarship by the Florence Nightingale Foundation in support of her work.  Its main aim is to explore and analyse similarities between symptoms associated with CFS/ME and FM.  Pamela hopes this will help to "establish an in-depth understanding of the impact these symptoms have on patients."

The study involves logging on to Pamela's web site , creating a user account and then answering questions relating to the symptoms experienced.  If you would be interested in participating you can visit the website at www.cfsmefibromy.co.uk

There is no offline version of this survey and people must register on the site in order to complete the questionnaire.
