The Rugby Fibromyalgia Support Group held an Awareness Day event at the Benn Hall, Rugby on 12th May. It was the first ‘open day’ they had run and they invited 20 other voluntary and support groups to open stalls at the event, including ME, Mind, Pension Service, Guidepost Trust, Rugby Credit Union, Rugby Disability Group, to name but a few. They had a large turn out and were very busy with many prospective new members turning up for information and staying to chat for quite a while. The FM table couldn’t really be missed with it’s brightly coloured yellow with black polka dot table cloth on.
Special mentions and thanks go to the following for their help and support: Mary Clarke, Jackie Hart (Joint chairs) Sue and Richard Drage, Carol, Terri and Eric Stevenson, Pat Webb and Marcia Phillpott. Photos were taken by Maurice Clarke.

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.
