Jean Gaffin, this year's Pain UK Pain Champion, has created an e-petititon to attempt to trigger a parliamentary debate to prioritise pain in the NHS. Jean's "Championship pledge" asks for pain to be discussed, measured, treated and recorded at every appropriate patient contact. She has been working on this for over the year attempting to raise the profile of pain within the Health Care system.
Please sign the petition and encourage your family and friends to sign it also. Together we could make a difference and move pain up the health agenda. Please sign the petition 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.
