Hi

I am wondering what support etc. there is in your area for fibro. Not just websites (which are great) but things put on by doctors etc?

Hi I am in West Sussex near Gatwick Airport

there is a fibro support group but it is in the evening when my body is too tired to do anything. There is also an expert patient course which is for any person with long term illness or disability - its aim is to help patients understand their own needs and how to get the most from your GP's and other medical services
