Fibromyalgia Support Network [FSN] is proud to be a unique, volunteer-driven, progressive peer-support organization, with a national and international outreach. We have a growing membership of individuals with Fibromyalgia who live in Canada, USA, and the United Kingdom. No matter how long one has been diagnosed with FM, every FSN member experiences daily challenges with chronic pain levels and muscle stiffness, symptom flare-ups, and life struggles. We have all experienced the same frustrations, emotional turmoil and grief process from diagnosis to acceptance. At FSN, however, we try to maintain a positive attitude and compassionate, caring environment. We provide learning opportunities to fill your FM Toolbox with “tools”, coping strategies and tips on managing your symptoms. Through our special events and health talks, we provide important patient education and access to medical/healthcare professionals or service agency providers. We hope you will take the time to explore our web pages on what we offer, resources and even check out our newest addition, our blog, The Fibromates Journal.
