You can't beat a good Fibromyalgia Suppot Group, I've been in a few over the 20+ years I've had FM & CFIDS. Misty's website is one of the best I've seen, I recommend you check it out. Also, call your local Arthritis Foundation, YMCA’s also occasionally have classes or know of support groups still operating in your area.
Keep in mind many times the group leaders have Fibromyalgia and my experience is that managing the group can be overwhelming so often times the group disbands. The two groups closest to my home on Misty’s sight are no longer available for that reason. It’s also what happened to the other groups I was in. This time around if I find one I plan to lend more support to keep it going. You may want to consider doing the same.
Here are some other websites I found today you may want to review. Hopefully, you find one you can attend. The interactions with others going through the same thing is INVALUABLE!!!
