Other information
I'm Helen, I'm 53 and live in Essex. I've been a trustee since March 2016, my role as a trustee is RC Liaison so I support our Regional Co Ordinators. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2008 but have had it for much longer. I also have a few other conditions but won't bore you with those. I run a local Fibromyalgia support group called FMSupport South East Essex and I'm the Regional Co Ordinator for Essex and East Anglia, I am on the admin team for 3 Facebook Fibromyalgia groups and write a column for UKFM Fibromyalgia magazine. My interests are volunteering with my local food bank which I am very passionate about, singing and church activities, I also enjoy doing some card making when I get time.

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.
