Sign 10 Downing Street Fibromyalgia Petitions

Lobby your MP
If you are unsure who your MP is then this website will tell you and it allows you direct contact: www.theyworkforyou.com

However when contacting your MP, a short, handwritten or printed letter sent through the post is the most effective to:

Your MP's Name
House of Commons,
London,
SW1A 0AA

Take the time to write your own letter, in your own words, and edit your letter for brevity and clarity.

Explain to your MP that research suggests that fibromyalgia affects 2% of the population, which represents a large section of his or her constituency. This should concentrate their mind and guarantee a response. It is important to be asking for a single achievable action. There are many areas that you could discuss but here at FaMily we recommend that you simply ask that they commit to supporting and attending the All Party Political Party for Fibromyalgia when the new parliament reconvenes after the election.

This will guarantee that your MP attends and listens to the fibromyalgia communities concerns. Also you can easily monitor these meetings as we shall be publishing details in FaMily magazine to see if your MP in fact did in fact attend the meeting on your behalf and what was discussed.
