ABOUT US

This site is being developed as a "work of love" by Maurice and Mary Clarke. Mary is a Fibromyalgia sufferer for many years and Maurice her husband (65) is now her principal carer. They have been married over 35 years and live in Rugby, UK and have 4 grown up children and 2 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.

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?
• Online Discussion - meet up with, and contact via email or messenger other sufferers, carers or medical professionals to ask questions, get answers, post experiences and thoughts.
• 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.
• Read one of our founder Maurice's own articles "Fibromyalgia - who cares enough?" here
