NHS Choices, the Department of Health's website for members of the public has contacted FaMily magazine looking to make a short film of someone who as been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. They’d like the person to tell their story - the moment they were diagnosed, how the condition affects their life on a daily basis, how they manage it, and any advice they have for others with the condition.
The video (about 3 mins long) would be published on the NHS Choices website. It would help raise awareness of the condition. An example of such a video can be found here.

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.
