There are reports of some services and treatments for people with musculoskeletal conditions (which include fibromyalgia) in England being restricted or stopped. Our partner organisation, ARMA (Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance) wants to build up a good understanding of how widespread this is and if it is affecting certain conditions in particular.
The deadline for survey submissions is 15th of January.
The results of this survey will be used to raise any concerns about restrictions to healthcare services with policy makers in the health service. Please spare a few minutes to fill in the survey and if you can, share the survey with your local support group and other people living with fibromyalgia. Thank you.

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.
