support, education, and hope for a
better quality of life for those affected by fibromyalgia

Welcome! to the Utah Fibromyalgia Association web site. UFA is a free and non profit educational and social support group.

We work to support the people who have fibromyalgia and their families and friends by contributing to caring, professional, and community relationships. Through continuing education, networking with support groups/advocates, and affiliation with professional organizations, the members of the Utah Fibromyalgia Association are part of a strong and collective voice. 

We promote public awareness and understanding to support FM patients, families, and friends in their search to find useful information and methods for improving their condition and coping with the difficulties associated with fibromyalgia.

Feel free to browse around this site. If you have comments or questions about our educational support group meetings, or simply need more information and want to contact us, please click on the contact button on any page within this site or send an e-mail to info@nufibroconn.org.

Fibromyalgia affects everyone!

President’s Message: I’m glad you’re here. Some very valuable and important FM community noteworthy events have occurred over the last four months that affect our lives. The landscape for fibromyalgia is changing, and I’m excited to write to you about that. These are only the highlights. Please go to the current events tab for full information. Christy White will send emails to those on our email list. If you haven’t been receiving her monthly updates, please send your contact information to: info@nufibroconn.org. 

#1: There are three opportunities for people in the Utah fibromyalgia community to participate in local research! Utah is a rising star in fibromyalgia research. Hooray for us! I urge you to participate and support those who are making our future better. (Please go to the Research Opportunities tab on the UFA home page.)

#2: Senator Orrin Hatch has been leading the charge in Washington, D.C. in our behalf. The National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009 became law in March 2010. We have an opportunity to advocate to our national legislators about fibromyalgia research. (Please go to the Legislation tab on the UFA home page to learn how you can be part of this historical legislation.)

#3: The Center for Understanding, Research & Education of Fibromyalgia (CURE FM) is launching initiatives nationwide to promote research, advocacy, and continuing medical education. CURE FM, a 501(c)(3) Utah corporation, is a sister organization to the Utah Fibromyalgia Association.
