We have an Awareness Stand at Braehead Shopping Centre on Tuesday 8 September 09 from 9am -7pm. It is on the upper floor between Thornton's and Whittards.
We are in the process of setting up a new website and e-mail address. We hope to be fully up and running very shortly. Please keep checking as we hope to open a forum where our members can speak to each other. Our new website address is www.fibroscot.co.uk and our new e-mail address is info@fibroscot.co.uk. We will still keep our present e-mail address fibroscot95@blueyonder.co.uk and website open for some time so that we will not miss any messages, information or enquiries.
On Friday the 17 April 2009 Margaret Magill the Aromatherapist will be coming along to speak to the group about some of the oils and treatments she uses to help her clients. Margaret will not be giving any demonstrations at this meeting.We thought it would be a good idea for our members to find out what they can use to help their specific conditions and if there are any reasons why they should not use some of the oils if they have any other medical conditions as well as their Fibromyalgia. Margaret is very knowledgable in this field and I am sure she will be willing to answer any questions that the members put to her. We hope to see you there and I am sure Margaret will be available at a future meeting when she will give some of her treatments.
Fibromyalgia Association UK and Fibromyalgia Friends Scotland will have an information stand at the Nursing in Practice Event on Wednesday 17 March 2009 at the SECC Glasgow.

If you feel you could help out for an hour or so we would be very grateful if you could give your name and the time you would be able to cover at the next open meeting on Friday 13 March 2009. If this is not possible could you phone Rena on the helpline on 0141-561-9280 and leave your details or phone Irene on 01355-903363 and leave your detils and someone will get back to you. You can also contact Des Quinn at des.quinn@fmauk.org and leave your details. We would really like your help in this matter.
