As Leaders Against Pain Coalition members, Lannette and other fibromyalgia advocates made this pledge in Aug. 2008...
We pledge to partner with the NFA to:
BE THE VOICE of millions of people suffering with fibromyalgia, and to actively advocate on their behalf for an improved quality of life.
PROVIDE PERSONAL SUPPORT to offer hope and real solutions to the life-altering challenges faced by people with fibromyalgia, and their caregivers.
CREATE AN ONGOING MEDIA PRESENCE that raises awareness, communicates facts, and changes perceptions about fibromyalgia.
PROMOTE PROGRAMS that will result in continuing medical education to help healthcare providers diagnose and treat fibromyalgia patients.
REPRESENT AND HELP EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS with fibromyalgia in order to improve the quality of healthcare and access to treatment options, no matter the patients' circumstances.
