We all need to know we're not alone in our pain and suffering. Often, the best medicine can be laughter shared between people like "us", people with FM and/or CFS/ME.

The groups in this section meet off the computer, usually in an area near your home or workplace. They discuss the challenges of living with FM and CFS/ME. They offer an upbeat atmosphere, focusing on social support, rather than therapy.

Many groups have guest speakers from the medical community who offer news on latest research, and medications. The major objective of most support groups is to provide a warm and caring environment where the illness is not questioned and where patients are accepted. Knowing that others share this journey offers comfort and reassurance. Select your country from the list below.
