Alison,
You can check your local paper's calendar of events or community pages, NFA's website (www.fmaware.org) or the updated site for National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association (http://www.fmcpaware.org). Another thought is ask your doctors if they know of a support group. Our group is trying to raise awareness locally with all the healthcare professionals, but we are taking it slow and steady. It's difficult sometimes when I don't feel well or can't remember what to say, but we are working on this. I began physical therapy at a facility and in my initial discussion with the therapist, she got excited that there is a local group. They even offered their meeting room for us to use for free! Sometimes it is right place, right time (and we just started our group towards getting our tax exempt status).
Hope everyone can find a group near them, it's well worth the time to visit & compare with others face to face.
