FMA UK is pleased to announce a Westminster Hall Debate, on Fibromyalgia at the House of Commons on Tuesday 5th May 2009 (9.30 - 11.00am)
We have learned today that Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Fibromyalgia, has managed to secure a Westminster Hall Debate on Fibromyalgia.
This is fantastic news and we are grateful to Rob and fellow MPs for offering to take our concerns and raise awareness of fibromyalgia.
If your MP has been supportive to our cause in the past, please let them know about the debate and ask them to attend and give their support.
Please use this opportunity to contact your MP; I’m sure we can actually reach every single one. They have all been contacted by us in the past so are well aware of fibromyalgia. Let’s raise the profile by just one little telephone call to your local MP’s office, it’s as easy as that.
You can watch it from the beginning by clicking on the link below.
We do not have a time but I’m sure the MPs will be able to find out.

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.
