First Meeting

We are going to have our first support group meeting on Thursday, August 16th, at 7:00 p.m.  The meeting will take place at Desert View United Church of Christ located at 11160 Montwood Dr.

I want this support group to be a place where those of us who suffer from fibromyalgia or any other chronic pain disorder can find emotional support, encouragement, and understanding. This will be a place where people can share their experiences without fear of being judged or criticized. This will be a time to discuss common concerns, reduce any feelings of isolation, and share different perspectives on issues in a confidential setting.

I want to form a group that is a safe place to unburden frustrations, disappointments, and fears, but it should also be a group where people can share their successes and insights. I want members to be able to benefit from the experiences of others.

As I state at the top of the blog: "I am not a doctor and do not claim to be an expert, but if I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it."This group will be a work in progress, and I'm hoping that it will be of great help to others.

The first meeting will be used to get to know each other, and to discuss any topics members would like to discuss at subsequent meetings. Hope to see you at first meeting!
