We have been working hard in planning our celebrations. On Saturday 12th May we will be holding our celebrations at Union Square shopping centre in Aberdeen from 10am - 4pm.
The main aim of our celebration is to raise awareness of fibromyalgia and awareness of our support group. Along side this we also plan to have lots of fun with balloons, face paints, musicians, arts and crafts, and much more. There will also be a chance to win a hand-decorated new born doll and hand made designer teddy, both donated by fibromyalgia suffers.
Our group has been running for 10 years and in this time we have had many people come to us for help, support or advice and we hope to continue to do so for the next 10 years. We cover a large geographical area and we continue to try help and support as many sufferers as we can.
All welcome to join us in our celebrations.

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.
Trustee meetings are held monthly via Skype and last about 2 hours. There is an annual meeting that coincides with our group leaders’ meeting over a weekend.
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.
