On Monday the 26th February the Fibromyalgia Support group and the Sussex & Kent ME/CFS group welcome sufferers and families to a coffee morning where there will be speakers and a DVD shown for their interest. We would also like to invite health care professionals or any other interested parties who feel they would like to attend. This meeting is open to people in all areas of Surrey, Sussex, Kent and beyond.
One of our special guest speakers is from Israel; she is the spokesperson
for an Israeli non profit organization and she will be discussing the programme they follow for ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia and how she herself has
improved her own quality of life.
The event is being held at the The Millenium Hall Crawley Road Roffey Nr Horsham West Sussex RH12 4DT. It will start at 11.00 am and finishes at 3.00 pm. Refreshments will be available.
This should be an interesting event and one where you can meet others and discuss things and to also find out information about your condition and the two support groups who have organised the event on your behalf.
Please support this event as this will encourage us to do more in the future for all ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia sufferers. The audience will include committee of both support groups and hopefully some specially invited guests.

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.
