I'm taking action-your help is welcome.
Jimi, I'm going to mention this site. As I'll be sending it to a member of the UK Parliament it may be useful to get some stats on the number of members on here from the UK but also number of members in general and amount of traffic that you get, that sort of thing. Can you pm me some details of that?
So, if anyone has anything they'd like to bring up let me know here or send me a pm. I'm not expecting anything but if they can see our desperation then maybe it will inspire some sort of action.
Thank you.

Although the the MPs' responses were minimal, I think it is more effective if a great number of us all write/e-mail/phone at the same time. This technique worked very well with the Medical Research Council.
So, Mac, perhaps let us know when you would like this to happen and we can all send e-mails or write letters.
I remember, last time, including something about our RIGHTS to be integrated into society and to have working lives as well as just trying to convey the severity of malodour conditions. Ultimately, I would like malodour conditions to be officially recognised as disorders and would like to see us included more clearly in the current legislation which disallows discrimination against disabilities. Some people may not want to be labelled as disabled, but this is a label which can provide protection from discrimination at work especially. These conditions are disabling and our MPs need to acknowledge that:
According to the social model of disability, ‘people who have an impairment and experience some form of social exclusion as a result are disabled people. Many people have impairments, such as those who use glasses. They are not usually discriminated against. Disabled people includes people with: chronic illness or health issues… people with hidden impairments. The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 is rights-based and draws on social model thinking which requires establishments to adjust policies, practices and procedures so that the disabled are not treated less favourably’. Therefore, we all have the right to work and for our colleagues to facilitate our integration in the workplace.

The reply I received is below:
Thank you for your correspondence of 28 November about Trimethylaminuria (TMAU). I have been asked to reply.
I appreciate your concerns about the strategies in place for dealing with rare diseases such as TMAU.
The Department is committed to increasing awareness of rare conditions such as TMAU, and that commitment has been demonstrated through the UK’s involvement in theUK Plan for rare diseases. The Plan will set out a coherent and joined-up approach to tackling rare diseases and will bring together a number of recommendations designed to improve the co-ordination of care and to lead to better health outcomes for everyone with a rare disease. It will also acknowledge existing developments, such as the contribution that expert centres can make to better diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases, while proposing a number of further developments, such as better information for patients so that they can be fully engaged and helped to understand and manage their conditions.
The Plan will include recommendations, actions and examples of best practice for commissioners of specialised services, Royal Colleges, information providers and front-line staff who deliver care to people with rare diseases. In England, much of the implementation of the Plan will be for NHS England in its role as a single national commissioner of specialised and highly specialised services.
You may therefore wish to contact NHS England for further information on the implementation of the Rare Disease Plan and how this may affect services for TMAU. You can contact NHS England by email at [email protected] or by post at the following address:
