The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) is running a competition and will be awarding the Edgar Stene Prize for the best account of 'How Exercise Improves My Life with a Rheumatic Disease'. Fibromyalgia is included in this category despite its CNS origin due to it being treated predominantly in a rheumatological setting.
Entry is open to anyone over the age of 16 with a rheumatic disease and the prize is €2000 plus the opportunity to attend the next EULAR conference in London in May next year including travel expenses, accommodation for 4 nights and an invitation to the opening ceremony and gala dinner.

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.
