Hi there

If you go to this link

fmauk.org

and go to Page 2 you will see some information about finding Support Groups in your area.

I hope the link works!

You beat me to it Blue.

Seperate thought - there is no support group in Edinburgh!!

There is an email address, but no group as such.

Hi Jay-21, I have heard there is an M.E. support group in Maryport,not sure if it is also for Fibro sufferers. I live in Whitehaven diagnosed 5 years ago. There is an M.E. clinic once a month at Keswick too.

Thank you all I live in cockermouth I think the Maryport one is mainly M.E. I was supposed to have hydrotherapy at the hospital but their pool is broken and haven't heard from them since! Vajra yogis 1 do you get much support from Physio and hospitals in our area?

Thanks again everyone

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? It looks like you have an answer or two so I will just genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Why do you not start your own support group in West Cumbria www FMAUK org can help We started a new group in our area It is a bit of work but just think you get the satisfaction of helping others too!

If you want any pointers send me a p.m. Fundraising and awareness we have done in plenty!

As Skit says fma uk can help support the start up of new groups in areas where there is nothing at ptesent.

Often new groups start simply by a few people getting together for coffee and chat.

A full list of groups registered as working with fma uk can be found at fmauk.org/groups
