Sheffield Hallam University is conducting a study about the experiences of living with and being treated for fibromyalgia. The study involves completing a survey in which participants will be asked questions about their wellbeing, how symptoms impact on everyday life and treatments they have tried.
The survey, which is a part of a research study, has been generously funded by Folly Pogs Fibromyalgia Research project.
The survey is anonymous, no personal details are requested, takes about 30 minutes and you can save your answers and come back to it later as many times as you need.
This survey will help inform the team of researchers about future possible treatments for fibromyalgia – we hope that you will spare some time to help the cause. The survey is only for people who are 18 and over and who have an official diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
Please make sure to complete the survey to the very end – if the last question won’t be answered and the survey won’t be submitted, it won’t be received by the researchers. The survey will be active until March 2016.

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.
