Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Discussion with Fibromyalgia Sufferers of Ireland and Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland

10:20 am

Mr. John Maher:

This is our first engagement. Other recommendations include classification of fibromyalgia as a disability so that we can apply for invalidity or disability pensions where needed; and the chronic disease policy, which was implemented in European Parliament in 2008, should be put on the Statute Book. We need to put these recommendations in place so that we can get support and have fibromyalgia recognised.
