Our National Helpline has been very busy this morning with the recent publishing of the article about fibromyalgia and the potential benefit that the alphastim device may bring to some people. You can find the full article here. FMA UK contributed the following quote to the article:
"Some people with fibromyalgia have found the alphastimm to be of benefit in treating their symptoms. While at present we do not have any evidence as to how it brings these benefits we appreciate anything that brings relief to people that suffer the chronic pain and fatigue that fibromyalgia consists of. Its unfortunate that people have to resort to spending money to gain relief from fibromyalgia instead of being able to access proper treatments from the NHS."
Its great to see more articles being published about fibromyalgia and the discussion that they stimulate.

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.
