Personal Blogs
Our website includes the option for registered users to have their own personal 'blog' - a place to share your thoughts, feelings, storoes... anything you like related to Fibro!
You can see what others have been saying via the link to blogs
or post something on your own blog now if you are logged in.
Publications
We've put together a number of information leaflets since FMSUpport started, and have a list of others that we are working on. Many of them are based on material provided by other groups, though some of the information is our own, and we have added local information to them all wherever practical.
We are happy to post any of the following out to people, however given the cost of producing the professional-looking information and also the cost of pastage, we would appreciate any donations - even if it's just a few 2nd class stamps!

Hi Meeting at Eastwood
Hi Everyone
I am 52 years old married for 34 years with one son who's 29 and living away. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago apart from a pain management course i have had very little support. I have had most help from psychiatrist dept. They have been the last few weeks been trying to get me a review of my pain tablets as they are still the same ones I was originally prescribed.
Why me!
Hi everyone,
I often think "Why Me?!"
Why are my doctors so useless? Why do they look at me as if I am making it up? Why?
My Kingdom for a Good Night's Sleep!
How often have you lain awake at night longing to fall into a restful sleep? Your brain decides that this is the time of day that it wishes to go through all those nagging little problems and simply refuses to switch off. I don't know how many times I've lain there either listening to a cassette trying to lull my brain into drowsiness or wondering who I can phone this time of night to relieve the boredom.
