FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS WEEK IS TAKING PLACE BETWEEN SUNDAY 2ND AND SUNDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2018

Thank you for getting involved in raising awareness of fibromyalgia among your community as we celebrate Fibromyalgia Awareness week 2018. Fibromyalgia Action UK’s theme for awareness week builds upon the theme for awareness day on May 12th. ’Don’t Delay, Connect Today’ aims to highlight that early diagnosis and recognition of fibromyalgia, and timely access to evidence-based treatment and peer support, are essential for the long-term health and wellbeing of those living with fibromyalgia and their families.

Below is a copy of our campaign pack that you can share with your support group, online friends and other advocates for raising awareness of fibromyalgia. We've also included lots of other resources (shown in the campaign pack) for you to download and share!

Don't forget to get involved online by using the hashtag #Fibro2018.

The charity is run by volunteers, most of whom have fibromyalgia.

Health Professional Pack

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.

Join a Support Group

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.
