Rejected petition Help people with Fibromyalgia to get the medication on repeat prescription.
Rejected on
Doctors have been told to reduce the misuse of prescription drugs. However , due to the stigma associated with Fibro & M.E, by some in the medical profession and the fact we are living with an invisible illness many people living with it are wrongly assumed to be misusing medication
I have gone from working hard all my life and never taking from the system to a person in agony I need help with dressing, can't cook, can't drive, I am depressed. I am no longer able to work and I am about to go on zero wages and will have to retire due to being too ill. I am 47. My medication has taken 6 months to get right. I now have to beg for as they won't send more than a week.
-Change Government policy "reducing drugs & misuse & dependence" for Fibromyalgia sufferers.
