FMA UK have been asked to find women aged 20 - 50, who at some point were advised by their Drs or health professional not to become pregnant, but then later successfully went on to have a child, ideally within the last five years. There could be a number of reasons for this, perhaps successful drug therapy, recovery, or an operation meant becoming pregnant was now an option and they had a child.

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.
