Awareness week is here once more and is running from the 3rd to the 9th September. Traditionally this is the time of the year where support groups conduct activities locally that raise awareness of fibromyalgia. These include coffee mornings, running a stall at shopping malls, craft fairs and all manner of other things. We hope to feature articles about what groups have been upto this week. If you have heard of something that's happening this week that is promoting fibromyalgia awareness then please get in touch. Let others know what you are doing for awareness week.
Send in a picture and a small description or feature it on our Facebook page.

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.
