Doctor Directory
Fibromyalgia Friendly Doctors in the UK
Readers of FaMily Magazine may remember that, in the June 2008 issue, we asked if readers could help by recommending any Doctors who had being particularly helpful and understanding about their condition.
From the many thousands of readers we received just fewer than 40 recommendations. Hopefully this is not a sad indication of the care and support of the NHS towards fibromyalgia but just because a lot of you have not got round to sending in your recommendations yet!
We shall post these referrals in this section of the website as a permanent resource, so please keep them coming, they will be incredibly helpful.
