Information is power. Fibromyalgia is enigmatic and ambiguous and can be a life-altering disorder. Fight the confusion and uncertainty with information. My vision for this group is to get people who experience fibromyalgia together to comment and share their thoughts on current research and historical perspectives. The reading list won't be limited to books or research specifically on fibromyalgia. It will also include books on neuroscience, chronic illness, philosophy of self and consciousness, …

Having suffered from Fibromyalgia for over nine years I have found a huge need for face to face real human support from others who also suffer from Fibromyalgia. There is not one specific Fibromyalgia group within the Carroll County area. Depending on the outcome of our first couple meetings we will be changing this tragedy. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2006 (but was diagnosed correctly after three years of misdiagnoses), and I have been on a mission of research, knowledge and awareness …

The DC Chronic Pain Meetup group aims to provide a safe and supportive space for people in Metro-DC to interact, learn, and socialize with others who live with chronic pain. People living with chronic pain often have common experiences that are difficult to describe and communicate to others. Living with pain can be isolating, which makes support systems crucially important. By sharing our own experiences, I hope those of us with chronic pain can learn from and support each other. The group is o …

Let's meet and discuss how Tick-borne disease, in its many forms (Babesia, Lyme, Bartonella, etc.) impact our lives. I decided to start this group for 2 reasons - After I was FINALLY diagnosed I thought it was the end of my journey. I quickly realized it was just the beginning of our roller coaster ride to seeking wellness. Also, I looked around through peering eyes as if seeing running water for the first time and there was no one I could share my "diagnosis" and cocktail of symptoms with as a …

This is a group for people with Lupus and other chronic auto-immune conditions and their friends and family. The goal is to create a support network where we can get together to enjoy the good days and be understanding of the not-so-good days.

I hope by joining each other, we can have fun and some laughs while being there for each other.
