National Fibromyalgia Association

The NFA, founded in 1997 by Lynne Matallana, is the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing and decreasing the burden of fibromyalgia through education, research and patient advocacy. The NFA leads a national and international effort to create a voice for providers, researchers and patients who deal with fibromyalgia by leading the development and support of educational activities, awareness events, fibromyalgia research, media coverage, and facilitation of increased collaboration efforts between patients and providers. The NFA’s philosophy is to help empower all stakeholders in fibromyalgia and to provide them with a new level of hope for the future.
