Life today is often complex and full of challenges. Coping with chronic pain and tiredness can really amplify the challenges that we encounter in daily life. Sometimes if you are being dragged down with a great litany of symptoms, life can be almost unbearable. For the majority of those Fibromyalgia sufferers who look well, sympathy may be a little thinly applied, and professional and personal understanding greatly below what is really needed. Unfortunately for the most part the therapeutic options are disparate and uncoordinated. It can be so very difficult on your own as there are so many symptoms, with so much complexity, and so little coordination of options. That is why the Fibromyalgia Programme has been created.

Over the past few years Dr. Veronica Downes, an Integrative Physician based in Cork in the Republic of Ireland has been working with and probing the intricacies of fibromyalgia as a major focus of specialist interest. It has become extremely apparent to her that this is a highly complex and multilevel disorder, which needs many many modalities of treatment to make a significant impact. Therefore the Fibromyalgia Programme aims to reflect the complexity of the condition and provide support and understanding for what it really means to suffer from Fibromyalgia.

Any one who has lived with this condition understands that the pain is simply the tip of the iceberg. What it really is for many, is a significant disruption of your essence as a person - your ability to run your life, enjoy your life and plan and orchestrate your day to day projects, free from the restrictions of pain or fatigue or from any of the multiple other symptoms which can plague the sufferer. Such a condition which impacts so profoundly on life needs to be taken in hand from many different perspectives. Now you can do this through the Fibromyalgia Programme.

The objective of the Programme is to greatly improve the quality of life for each sufferer whenever possible. Many patients feel they have retrieved their lives from perpetual restriction and brought renewed optimism and vigour through resolution of symptoms.
