Castleford and District Support group are taking part in the
Normanton
Gala and Parade on Saturday 13 September.
We have an Awareness Stall, and tombola stall and we have walkers, with me in wheelchair (as a float) Walking are Cameron, age 6. Keiren, age 5, Amy, age 8, Sophie and Chloe, age 12. All the children will be wearing yellow T-shirts and black shorts. Each t-shirt will have a symptom on the back (example) Cameron has "I am severe pain." Keiran, "I could be the youngest sufferer".
Others have I am extreme fatigue, I am IBS, I am disturbed sleep. Lucie is pushing the wheelchair with "I am a carer". My stupid top hat will go with the rest of my stupid outfit and say "I am Fibromyalgia"

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.
