We have a variety of methods for getting information out including our magazine and the website. However we also offer regular monthly email newsletters with content from the site and timely news. We also send out a newsletter to groups about what FMA UK has been doing and this is included here as well.

The trustees will seek a new treasurer as soon as possible and would welcome applications from volunteers with previous financial experience..
Fibromyalgia media coverage
The Guardian carried a cynical article on whiplash injuries by ‘Dr.Crippin’ on 2nd March. The article ended by saying: “Family doctors in the UK usually find that patients who have no objective signs of physical injury, but still present with persistent symptoms that they relate to "whiplash", often have more subtle and possibly psychological problems. They may even be on the slippery slope to "fibromyalgia" – whatever that is. There is any amount of bad medical science upon which both doctors and patients rely.”

FMA UK October 09 Newsletter
The Board of Trustees of Fibromyalgia Association UK have recognised the need to keep Regional Coordinators and members of local support groups updated with information about the work that they are undertaking on behalf of people with fibromyalgia and their carers.
This will take the form of a Newsletter which will be published twice a year and circulated to all local groups via their own Regional Coordinators. Below is an outline of what has been happening since the Group Leaders’ Meeting in May, 2009.
