HMSA newsletter!

I subscribe to the HMSA newsletter and find it very useful! New editions are published every 3 months or so if you're based in the UK you can subscribe too, just click on the link ^. If you're not based in the UK I'm sure there are publications that offer a similar service and if you know of one please let me know so I can feature it on here!

The newsletter informs me about:

• fundraising activities
• Comments from Hypermobility specialists
• Services that I can access for help
• Experiences of other HMS sufferers

I strongly advise anyone with Hypermobility Syndrome to subscribe to this newsletter or a similar one as I think they are very helpful!
