Did you know there are over 80 kinds of auto immune diseases? Even with those stats, we often feel alone with our health issues. Our healthy friends (bless them!) don't "get it". Wouldn't it be great to all get-together to meet others like us who have RA, or myositis, or thyroid, or lupus, CFS, FM, Lichen Planus or other chronic conditions? Anyone with chronic pain or disease is certainly welcome to join. We all need a support system! If you are looking to make new friends that you can share y …
An inspirational support group for those dealing with, or in the aftermath of serious illness. We will share our stories, compare notes and remedies, but mostly move forward together. We will find inspiration in our struggles and help one another to thrive in life not just survive.
I decided to start the group because I know that there are a lot of people out there, like myself, who are suffering from an autoimmune illness. I think that this group would benefit from being able to share with others and help them to deal with their everyday obstacles in life. Not everyone can understand what a person with an autoimmune illness experiences on a daily basis, unless he or she has been diagnosed with one. People should join this group to encourage others to be positive and to he …

As parents, we want what is best for our children. We ensure they wear their seat belts, we read to them, make sure they brush their teeth, look both ways before crossing and stay away from danger. When it comes to children and food, somehow we don’t know what is the best thing to do. Children seem finicky and only want to eat cheese, pasta, pizza, chicken fingers or milk and cookies. They don't like vegetables and it seems like they are in charge. At the same time, we notice that they are freq …
