I requested some library books about Fibromyalgia from my local library, not surprisingly the one that arrived is American. The condition is much more known over there, we even saw adverts while we were over in Washington DC last year, for drugs available for sufferers.
My best friend lives in Florida and she can't believe how little is known of the condition over here. Or how little is done to help sufferers, its amazing to think that in the UK we only have one doctor Professor Davis who actually specialises in Fibromyalgia Syndrome. (With clinics in London & Bristol)
Even finding a GP that understand the condition isn't easy, which is why it takes some (well most) people years to finally get a diagnosis. But you don't have to give up hope, one day some one will listen to you.
