Folks of like minded interests and hobbies form their own groups there. That includes people who share a disease condition and have formed support groups. I went to the site and searched for groups in Florida, and found that there's an RA group located in St. Petersburg with 115 members that has been around for over three years. Check it out here: http://www.meetup.com/Pinellas-County-Fibro-RA-CFS-Support-Group/ If you wanted to see where other RA groups were located, you could just enter a search on MeetUp.com directly. Hope this helps. Kelly,

For now, I've started http://www.facebook.com/groups/248024865255951/ - a support group on Facebook that is open to the public and for any gripe anyone has or anyone who wants to learn what's going on with RA development and meds, etc. I've posted a few of your articles so far and people seem to be responding. For that, I thank you- I also thank you for inspiring hope in myself and so many others. I was wondering if you might know where I could post about the online group on any of the RA websites or how I go about getting my group into the helpful links page on so many of them. Do you have anything like it for the non profit you got started (I'm sorry, the name has eluded me). Thank you so much for all that you do and I admire you. Carly Hello Kelly,

If I did'nt have my dog to take care of I would killmyself. The only thing that helps the pain is the really hard stuff. I tried Suboxone and realized I was dealing with a legalize drug syndicate. How can you be in such pain and be "blogging?" We are supposed to ignore THIS? If possible, how did the inquisition have any effect? I was put on disability the other day.

I emailed the one listed but never heard back. Maybe they are on vacation. I am 42 years old and just would like to be able to talk to people who understand. Thanks Ida Hi Kelly,
