Your support makes a difference for people with Fibromyalgia
How will I ever get through this?
Who am I now?
Where do I even begin?
Fibromyalgia can change so much—your health, your relationships, your work, and the way you see yourself. And trying to figure out what to do next can feel overwhelming.
​
For nearly 30 years, the Fibromyalgia Association has been here to help people through these difficult times. We connect people with trusted information, meaningful support, practical resources, and the latest fibromyalgia science to help them find their way forward.
​
Your generosity makes this work possible—helping us educate and support people living with fibromyalgia, bring the latest research and knowledge to our community, educate healthcare professionals, advocate for better care, and make sure the voices of people with fibromyalgia are heard.
Together, we can help more people find information, support, and hope when they need it most.
Your gift helps make this possible
Donations help sustain and expand our work in key areas:
Monthly Support & Education Group
Regular community gatherings where patients share strategies, access expert guidance, and find peer connection.
Annual Fibromyalgia Awareness Day
Our flagship event connecting the fibromyalgia community with leading researchers, clinicians, and advocates.
Healthcare Provider Education
Bringing reliable, current fibromyalgia knowledge to clinicians so patients receive better-informed care and providers feel better equipped to manage Fibro.
Science & Medical Meeting Engagement
Helping us attend key science and medical meetings so we can bring the latest fibromyalgia research, insights, and resources back to our community faster.
Closing the gap between research and relief
It can take years—sometimes even decades—for important research to make its way into everyday healthcare.
​
We work to help shorten that gap by staying engaged with the latest science, building relationships with researchers and clinicians, and sharing new knowledge with our community in practical, understandable ways.
