Text Speak.
While text speak is a good way to communicate on a mobile phone it's use on the forum should be avoided.
example:
"Hello, how are you today? Not too tired and in too much pain, I hope" translates into
"LO, how R U 2day? Not t% tired & n t% much pain, I hOp"
Many forum members will not understand it and it also makes reading what you are trying to say more difficult. This could result in your post going unread.
Swearing
Please try and keep from swearing on the main boards. Even although most swear words are asterisked out they are still able to be understood. There are children that browse the site and we want to make the site acceptable to all where possible.

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.
