Hello everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and new year smile. I'm feeling very positive at the minute today I was refered for acupuncture so will let you all know how that goes. I start pilates next week too smile. But I have very little support in my area and am really wanting to do some fundraising for our condition as I do not think it's researched enough and there are not enough professionals that even know the condition exists . So please if any one knows how I would go about this please.share and also good fundraising ideas xx thanks all xx

    Hi Nicola 

    well done for getting the acupuncture 😊 Hope it all goes well. Are you in the UK, because I asked my doctor for an acupuncture referral and she told me that it isn't available on the NHS. I have actually had zero support from the doctors and have just about given up going to them

    Hi Nicola

    Well done re getting assistance with Accupuncture I hope it helps you.

    Just curious about the the Fundraising effort/s you anticipate.  Is it for yourself or for a Registered Fibro Research based institution?

    Keep up your positive attitude....  If your creative you could do crafting, painting, baking, a sponsored drive of some sort which can be a drive of any type, doesn't have to be walking/running, a coin trail, face painting, washing and drying dogs even, car washing...  all manner of things.  But if your doing the 'action' yourself, obviously it has to be within your capability....

    All the very best!
