Kate Dawson has contacted FMA UK with a link to blog she has created about how her mum deals with fibromyalgia. She says:
The term multi-tasking was invented for my Mum. Granted it’s a slow start in the morning, but after a couple of mugs of Yorkshire Tea she’s like a whirling dervish. An average morning might involve mowing the lawn, throwing a casserole in the oven, doing a pile of ironing and checking her emails . Nothing that remarkable you might think for someone who has raised four kids and run a successful business – except she is in constant pain with a condition known as fibromyalgia.

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.
