Although the bone and joint decade as a title does not seem to include fibromyalgia, Prof Anthony Woolfe has assured us that it is included with all other musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs). Through ARMA, FMA UK has input into the Bone and Joint Decade initiatives and supports the concept of improvement for all MSDs, which puts a heavy burden on the individual, the local community, nationally and internationally.
Dear all,
The data from the 2010 GBD report is now live, and available here:

Our joint statement is also on our website: http://arma.uk.net/global-burden-of-disease/
Please help us to promote our take on the data by linking to this page, posting it on your own websites, and/or retweeting my tweets.
Thank you,
Federico Moscogiuri

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.
