North Suffolk Fibromyalgia Support Group

Peter Aldous attended the North Suffolk Fibromyalgia Support Group's Christmas Party in Beccles.

Fibromyalgia [FM] is a disorder characterised by chronic pain, debilitating fatigue, sleep disturbance and joint stiffness. It is seen in about 2% of the general population, affecting more women than men. Although neither degenerative nor fatal, the chronic pain is pervasive and persistent, with there being no accepted cure.

Peter commented:

"I was very pleased to attend the Christmas Party to find out more about FM. It is important to raise the profile of this "invisible illness", so that it can be more readily diagnosed with effective NHS treatment being more readily available throughout the country."
