Welcome to The Brand New Home of
Portsmouth Va. Fibromyalgia/CFIDS Support Group
OUR PURPOSE
We always welcome any one interested in joining us with our purpose
The goal of this support group is to help each other to accept and learn how to cope and manage our day to day lives living with these chronic illnesses. We hope to spread the word, that there are quite a few sufferers/survivors in the area. And to especially let other sufferers know that "they are not alone". We also want to have fun while we are together and sharing our stories and learning the updated research to help ourselves live a more functional life. By developing relationships and friendships, the Support Group will become even stronger.
Support teams can consist of: family, friends, co-workers, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, clergy, etc.
It is important that we educate our support team about our condition. Unfortunately, many people do not know what FMS/CFIDS is. What the symptoms are or what to do to help.
FMS/CFIDS is described as the "INVISIBLE DISEASE". It is easy to see crippled joints as seen in Rheumatoid Arthritis, bruises, cuts, and swelling. There are no visible signs of FMS/CFIDS. Our support teams need us to communicate to them how we feel, what we can and cannot do and the type of support we need.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to further promote the interests of our support group to the community. We strive to make a difference by educating the public and expanding our reach to help others to gain the knowledge to futher understand these chronic illnesses.
