This is the Wirral and Merseyside Fibromyalgia support group's main way of raising funds for the year (and it is the only time we ask for donations from local businesses and individuals) to keep this very positive and vital group going within our local community. Dr Logan, based at the Countess of Chester Hospital is our Patron (for the N.West region) and he sends patients to this support group because it has a positive impact on the lives of patients living with Fibromyalia, a chronic, often disabling condition.
It is one of the most successful support groups for Fibromyalgia in the UK and this year our Group Leader, Sue Strafford-Binks, who is also the Regional Coordinator, won the Volunteer of the Year Award for the UK from our national charity Fibromyalgia Association UK because of all the hard work she does.

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.
