Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Thank you for your petition. We understand that you'd like to see a change in how these conditions are considered, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
In any case, the NHS describes both as "long-term conditions", so we're not sure what else you'd like to happen.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to fund a campaign to raise awareness of the effects of fibromyalgia and ankylosing-spondylitis, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
