1. do you want a support group where you meet with others and talk about it or a non profit that helps people in other ways2. I live across the country from you, so I can't help you there. I attended a group in my area for a while when I was first diagnosed and was really not impressed with my group. It seemed to be a pity party. You may have a very different experience if you find one- I hope so!
I ended up joining a yahoo group online. There are several groups for fibro and you can join as many as you want then stay with the one(s) you enjoy. The one I participate in is sponsored by Rest Ministries. With an online group, you can daily talk to others all over the world who can empathize with everything you're going through, give you some good advice, and lift you up when you need that little (or big) boost. The key to enjoying a group online is to really participate by reading the posts and joining in on the responses. You'll get to know the people and will soon be able to speak freely and joke around to make yourself feel better. I highly recommend these groups, like I said, you have to join a few and see which one suits you.
Good luck in your search locally and/or online!
