This support group is for anyone with Fibromyalgia or chronic pain condition. I wanted to start a group so we could be there for one another. It nice to have support online, but sometimes we need each other to help one another. Please come and join me for refreshments, and getting to know each other and hopefully in the near future we as a group can make lots of things happen. If this day and time doesnt work we can always change that. As myself and others it depends on how we are feeling. I hope to see you soon. Please call me with any questions.
Donations accetped, not required. This supporet group is designed to empower patients with Fibromyalgia, CFS, and any other chronic pain conditions. We hopefully will laugh (and cry with a shoulder to lean on if needed) and share do and don'ts that help to increase the daily quality of life with FM.
