Support Group meeting for people living with Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), either diagnosed or awaiting diagnosis, as well as for their family and friends.

A Peer Support Group can reduce the sense of isolation you may feel by providing an opportunity to meet others who understand what it is like to live with FM and CFS.

We will meet in Room 303.

This being the last meeting of the year, in the spirit of Christmas, you are invited to bring a hors d'oeuvre to share.  Let's make this meeting a festive one.

*** This is a NUTS and FRAGRANCE FREE event ***

Feel free to bring a beverage for yourself as well.
