For many, the physical symptoms of Fibromyalgia are only half the story. A whole host of issues arise along with your first symptoms. Medical issues are compounded by practical difficulties. Life gets harder and hurts more. As your illness progresses it’s not surprising that you feel more and more alone.

In 2001 the Isle of Wight Fibromyalgia Support Group was set up to make sure that nobody on this island is alone with this condition. In all that time our aim has always been to provide Fibromyalgia sufferers with support, information and, above all, friendship in times of crisis.

For nearly 20 years the Wight Fibro Group has been helping people cope with this terrible and terribly misunderstood condition. Through our monthly meetings, organized talks, information packs and promotional events we can:

• Help you to understand your condition and cope with it better.
• Provide information about mobility and getting around.
• Show you where to get help with benefits.
• Help you get the best from your GP and other medical professionals.
• Offer support and friendship when times are tough.
