On Monday the 14th November at 10 am on BEN TV ( channel 182) there will be a 30 minute programme about fibromyalgia. The guest speaker will be Ella Vine, Executive Officer at FMA UK. She will be asked about various things, from what is fibromyalgia, the treatment options currently available, what FMA UK does to help patients, what the government is doing and what else needs to be done. We hope it will be an interesting conversation!

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.
