 SUPPORT GROUPS

Online Support Group People with FM and/or CFS/ME often feel alone with their disease and with the everyday struggles their medical condition brings to their lives. We all need to know we're not alone in our pain and suffering. Often, the best medicine can be laughter shared between people like "us", people with FM and/or CFS/ME.

The following groups meet online only. They offer help for people unable to leave home for an actual support group meeting. Many of these groups offer monthly newsletters, researchinformation, and forums for people with FM and/or CFS/ME. Groups can vary in size.

The groups below are listed in alphabetical order by group name.
