Fibromyalgia Support Net, everything you need to know about Fibromyalgia

This site is being developed as a "work of love" by Maurice and Mary Clarke. Mary is a Fibromyalgia sufferer for over 20 years. They have been married over 37 years and live in Rugby, UK and have 4 grown up children and 3 grandchildren.

The site is based on their knowledge and experiences of the illness, and how acceptance of it has changed across the UK and indeed the world. The strain it puts on public health services and finances is enormous, plus the sufferers and their carers remain confused over many aspects of Fibromyalgia and ask countless questions over what is it? do I have it?, what can I do to treat it? is there a cure?, etc.

In 2008 they helped found the Rugby Fibromyalgia Support Group which now boasts some 70+ members from Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Mary is current chair and Maurice secretary. For details of the group phone 01788 333755 or contact us

Maurice recently founded a separate group "Fibrolads" for men who live with ladies who have FM. More details on Fibrolads click here

There is much confusion, mis-understanding and bias stretching from across the medical profession to husbands, wives, partners, friends and relatives of sufferers.

There is an ongoing need for a simple, straightforward web site which tell it as it is, and simplifies and condenses the facts from fiction, the claims and the denials.

The site is based on a number of key elements;

Unbiased - not driven by the need to promote specific treatments and "cures", but to give options and highlight advantages and reservations.
Simple - an easy drill down approach from key top level areas
Groups - how to contact and meet with other sufferers and carers
Treatments - is there a cure? or just temporary remission or an odd "good day". Is there more than pain killers? Do natural health products work?
Request - more features, suggest ideas for topics or featured pages.
Articles - written by experts worldwide on various Fibromyalgia issues
Web Links - link to and from sites dealing with the wider and more specialist aspects of Fibromyalgia.
