This is a great video that brings together thoughts from different people that suffer from a condition that causes them chronic pain. While this is not specific to fibro there will be points in this video that people with fibro can relate to.
"This is a short film based on a synthesis of 77 qualitative studies exploring the experience of over a thousand adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The script is drawn from peoples' own words about what it is like to live with chronic pain and is performed by an actor.
This project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Services and Delivery Research (NIHR HS&DR) Programme (09/2001/09). Visit the HS&DR website for more information.

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.
