Chief Medical Officer recognises impact of fibromyalgia
FMA UK are pleased to see that Chief Medical Officer Liam Donaldson has recognised the impact of fibromyalgia and its prevalence in the number of people in the UK with chronic pain in his 2008 annual report.
Sir Liam commented, Chronic
pain reduces the quality of life more than almost any other
condition. The impact of pain on people's lives is significant,
bringing emotional and financial burdens to patients and their loved
ones. A major initiative to widen access to pain services is badly
needed.
