Recent Changes to the Site and logon help
December 30th 2013
On December 30th the FMA UK website had its content management system updated and with this came a new theme for the website. This was a major change and some weblinks will have changed. We are working on resolving some of these so please bear with us.
The forum has some links that point to areas of the old site and we are looking ot get these resolved as a priority.
Previous Changes below:
Change of website address
On Feb 24th the sites forum was changed to operate solely on the address www.fmauk.org rather than the previous longer address www.fibromyalgia-associationuk.org. This is partially to clear up some management issues with the site, help with some confusion but mainly as a result of the recent server upgrade. We had been experiencing some people logging in and out sporadically and other related issues. We hope that this change will help.
However there may be some after effects of this change and people may have to clear the sites forum cookies from their browser. The link below will do this for them and then after logging in once more they should be ok.
Change your favorite / bookmark link as well as this may contain incorrect information.
Check the other information if your problem still persists.

Change of Forum Software.
In recent months we changed from the previous forum software to our current phpBB3 software that is in use on the forum now. There have been significant changes with this software being introduced. Previously if you had a different display name to your username, you will have to logon to the forum with your old display name rather than your previous user-name.
There are some helpful tips and information posts on the links below:

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.
