Closing the gap for people living with Fibromyalgia  

Our communications officer, Nadia, is on a research training placement with Loughborough University and Fibromyalgia. 

The aim of her research to capture and reveal the
invisible symptoms of Fibromyalgia to change attitudes, beliefs and understanding in those who diagnose, treat, care for, work with, or live with, people living with Fibromyalgia in Leicestershire. She will work to create a public-facing communication to highlight the differences and/or similarities  between healthcare perceptions and lived
experiences.  She is planning to do this through collecting information about the perception of fibromyalgia from local healthcare professionals.  Working with people living with Fibromyalgia she will support them to represent their experiences through artistic or other creative methods.
