fibromyalgia support groups in the UK?
My mum was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and i was just wondering if there are any support groups that have meetings where we could go to find out more? We seem to know more about this condition than the doctor, but it would be nice to meet other sufferers who can share tips and coping methods etc. We live in East Yorkshire. Any help is gratefully appreciated, thank you!

1. Try searching this type in( UK fibromyalgia forums)2. I'm not in the UK, but I did a search using your information and got 2 good hits:
1. http://www.fmscommunity.org/sptgrp.htm#uk says:
West Yorkshire: FIBROMYALGIA SUPPORT & CARERS GROUP (WEST YORKSHIRE) We meet at the Kirkgate Community Centre, Shipley (opposite Shipley Town Hall) on the second Monday in each month at 7.30pm. For further details contact, email: fibromyalgia_westyorkshire@hotmail.com Tel: 01924 860328 - 01274 545745
Their website is: http://www.communigate.co.uk/brad/fibromyalgia/index.phtml
but this link wont work for me, 404 error. The above information is possibly old/obsolete.
2. http://www.fibromyalgia-associationuk.org/contactsmenu/supportgroups
Seems to have contact information, though also possibly obsolete.
I'm sure you can find more and faster with a couple search engine attempts. Good luck!
