I often find an evening with one of my best friends when we can laugh and chat to be one of the best stress busters, it tends to put things into perspective and calm me down. My other favourite technique is spending some time outside in the countryside, I find that fresh air and beautiful surroundings always work their magic making me breathe more slowly as I stop to admire the views. I try to go for a walk each day somewhere green to allow me to clear my mind and enjoy the exercise. If I am struggling to walk I will take my wheelchair out for a spin to ensure I am not stuck indoors all day. Finding what works best for you is well worth the effort, stress can affect all the symptoms of fibromyalgia so it is imperative to find healthy responses to keep stress at bay when ever 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.
