Liz Barber the secretary of the Hull and East Riding Fibromyalgia Syndrome Support Group writes to let us know how well their awareness day event went... The Hull & East Riding Fibromyalgia Syndrome Support Group held an Awareness Stand on Saturday 9th May at the Civic Hall in Cottingham.
We were alongside 23 other well known Charity Groups for a Spring Fair all aiming for the same thing Awareness of Conditions and to raise funds. We had a very good day lots of interest in the 2 ducks on our table Fred & Daisy. We raised £98.19p which was brilliant and spoke with lots of people.
We were interviewed by one of our local radio stations WHCR who said we should have a duck race on Barmston Drain, Pat (chair) said if he would like to come on our Committee he could organise it, unfortunately he said he was in high demand………so we left it at that for now........!!!!!!!

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.
