WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER
Help us create a brighter tomorrow for everyone living with fibromyalgia and chronic pain illnesses. We need your help asking policy makers for policies that help our community members access affordable and effective treatments, and research for better treatments and a cure.
HOW CAN YOU HELP ?
We need your story. We’re looking for people impacted by and living with fibromyalgia who will share their story with us. We also need chronic pain medical and community leaders to champion our mission to improve lives.
OUR CORE BELIEFS
Driving what we do
We advocate for research and the three A's of treatment for fibromyalgia and chronic pain - Appropriate, Accessible and Affordable.
The Consumer Pain Advocacy Task Force developed these beliefs and we unite with more than 50 other organizations in advocating for issues surrounding these beliefs:
-
Chronic pain is a real and complex disease that may exist by itself or be linked with other medical conditions.
-
Chronic pain is both an under-recognized and under-resourced public health crisis with devastating personal and economic impact.
-
Effective chronic pain care requires access to a wide range of treatment options, including biomedical, behavioral health and complementary treatment.
-
Denying appropriate care to people with chronic pain is unethical and can lead to unnecessary suffering, depression, disability and even suicide.
