Patient Advocacy For Fibromyalgia

Freedom From Fibromyalgia Summit

<h6>Rodger Murphree, DC, CNS</h6>
Hi. Welcome. I&#8217;m Dr. Rodger Murphree, and I&#8217;m the host of the Freedom from Fibromyalgia Summit at Melissa Talwar here. She&#8217;s going to be sharing some information about patient advocacy. And as a functional medicine health coach, you can be sharing some information about just the steps that you can do yourself to start to empower yourself to be able to take control of your life again. For so many of you, so many of you out there watching, you know, fibromyalgia robbed you of so many things, including your ability just to have a normal life, whatever that is. But Melissa is really involved in helping those with fibromyalgia get the attention they need. And we&#8217;re going to talk about a lot about that, about some of the research and the funding that&#8217;s going on. Melissa, welcome. Thank you so much for being a part of the summit.
