I encourage health professionals in government to recognise FM as a disease worthy of funded research and its sufferers to be accorded the right to claim disability consideration.
As a 19 yr survivor of FM/MF, I support recognition for the disease. However, I also have another disease named Fibromyalgia, which is commonly referred. While reviewing my medical records several years ago I realized that many doctors automatically assumed the abbrev FM (for FM/MF) referred to Fibromyalgia.
