Lack of treatment on the NHS 'some doctors have no knowledge of it? I have had to suffer with no treatment and am about to lose my job 'because I am so ill 'A consultant diagnosed me with it and then said sorry there is no treatment and I was never given a follow up appointment! The is good treatment for fibro it just depends if you get to see a good doctor? Also no support or advice on the NHS
