[b]History[/b]
The [b]Fibromyalgia[/b] Support Network of Western Australia provides information and support to people suffering with [b]Fibromyalgia[/b]. They are a not-for-profit organisation with over 2,000 registered members.



The Support Network of Western Australia was formed in Perth by Dr Kaye Brand, a Physiotherapist. Kaye was diagnosed with [b]Fibromyalgia[/b] in the mid 90's, and could find no support and little understanding of the challenges facing those with this illness. She studied overseas, including a scholarship to the USA on Advocacy Training for [b]Fibromyalgia[/b] sufferers.

In 2007 Kaye founded the [b]Fibromyalgia[/b] Support Network WA along with Sian Doughty, the earliest member. The Network became incorporated in 2011 and was granted a Charitable Collectors License.

[b]The Disease[/b]
[b]Fibromyalgia[/b] is a chronic pain condition that affects the muscles, tendons and ligaments, but not the joints. It is a condition that challenges both patients and healthcare professionals. It's symptoms are wide ranging and wide spread, and include bad pain and other sensitivities, sleep disturbance, and chronic fatigue.



There is no cure for [b]Fibromyalgia[/b], but there are treatments that help reduce symptoms.

[b]The event[/b]
