It's great to see new 501c3 organizations pop up on behalf of FM and CFS. This year a new one was launched out of Utah. the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association (NFMCPA), a nonprofit 501c3 whose mission is to build a united patient and medical community that will execute awareness and advocacy programs regarding access to care, scientific research, diagnosis and treatment for people suffering with fibromyalgia and chronic pain.
NFMCPA will also help the FM community by focusing on increasing new scientific findings and research about fibromyalgia and its relationship to overlapping chronic pain conditions, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), migraine headache, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Interstitial Cystitis, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS), chronic pelvic pain, TMJ and other life altering pain illnesses.
“I am very honored to lead the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association, which will continue to build upon the philosophies established by the NFA and other organizations concerned with chronic pain by seeking contributions from thought leaders in this diverse field,” said Jan Favero Chambers, founder and president of the NFMCPA and a founding member of the National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA) Leaders Coalition, Executive Committee.
I am adding their web site to our list for this blog. Visit it and learn more about the NFMCPA.
Blessings this Easter to all of you!
