Dr. Mildred Farmer, Co-Founder of Meridien Research and Fibromyaliga Expert
"Fibromyalgia is a debilitating illness that affects an estimated six million Americans, many of whom are women, and are living lives that are interrupted by chronic and widespread pain, reduced physical function and a host of other debilitating symptoms. Many who suffer from fibromyalgia are not correctly diagnosed and are not receiving proper care. The disease is often dismissed or misunderstood, and sufferers often don’t know where to turn.” Farmer is available to offer tips for recognizing the symptoms of fibromyalgia and what to do if a person thinks they or someone they love may be suffering. She can also debunk some of the more common myths associated with the condition and is available before and during and after National Pain Month, September, for interviews about fibromyalgia and to share information on recent advances that are bringing hope to patients.
