hi kittiekat, for support groups try this link

fibroaction-public.sharepoint.com/Pages/FibroSupport/Pages-FibroSupport-SupportGroups.aspx

there is a new feature on the green bar called "people near me" (click on your name). Anyone who wants to opt-out of this can pm me.

it is up to you if you want to say in a post the are where you live, I'd advise against posting your email address.

I can see that hamble99b has given you the FibroAction web link for groups so I want to wish you all the best of luck with finding a suitable group.

Goo luck

Thank you for your replays. I'm sorry I didn't explain correctly in my post. I'm not looking for a support group, I run a support group.

That's great that you run a group, as far as I know there is nothing like it around where I live which is in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire . I just wish there was a way of finding groups near me

My group is in Leicester and getting more and more members. We use to have a great support group but that finished and I was lost without it and then after a couple of years I was ready to start my own. Glad I did now with the members response xx

Hello Carolinee.

I hope in time you manage to find a group. I'm in Leicestershire and use to go to support group which I loved but then it finished which was a big blow. But after 4 yrs later looking and others asking for a support group I stated my own. It helps me as well as it does the members and have recently just started different events. Last week some of us went to the pictures and tomorrow we are having afternoon tea. xx
