CONFESQ is the Spanish National Coalition of Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis\/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME\/CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Electromagnetic Sensitivity. We are a non-profit association established in 2004, in which various national entities, regional federations and associations are registered and form part of CONFESQ. We represent more than 50 organizations.<\/div>\n

Our aim is to defend the patients\u2019 rights and interests as well as their relatives. Our commitment goes beyond national boundaries, being our goal to be present before society, institutions, and any relevant administrations, integrating and promoting the actions of the entities it represents and those that pursue the same purposes.<\/div>\n
