Research opportunity: Families with Fibromyalgia
Researcher: Catriona Galbraith, University of Stirling
This study is looking at: (i) the support available to you and your family; (ii) experience of relationships; and (iii) places you find supportive/unsupportive while living with fibromyalgia, or supporting a family member with fibromyalgia.
To take part, you must have been/or know a family member who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and have other family members willing to take part who are aged 10 or older. The research involves an interview where you would be able to map out relationships and places that are supportive and unsupportive, then provide a written account on one good and one bad memory of support, and then have another interview about the written account. Unfortunately due to limited funds, the researcher is unable to reimburse participants. However, she does not expect participants to travel and she will aim to travel to them.
If you would like any more information or would like to take part in this research, please contact Catriona Galbraith by telephone: 07746 262967 or by email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

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.
