Following up on your previous article on sodium oxybate in December last year, the time is fast approaching where we will find out if the New drug application by Jazz pharmaceuticals will be approved by the FDA.
In June 2009 when we spoke about Sodium Oxybate the following was said about positive trials:
Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB announced on 24th June 2009 that there have been positive preliminary results from the second of two Phase III clinical trials of Sodium Oxybate (JZP-6) for treatment in Fibromyalgia.
Of course when we find out more about this promising addition to the fibro meds on offer we will let you know. You can read Adrienne Dellewo's take on this here.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
