We have to be our own Advocates

It's an interesting idea and it came to my mind in the beginning as well. Then, with some reflection on my old book club ....
- I missed it most of times for reasons we all know.
- had not read or finished the book
- having to ask for a ride to and back
- feeling overwhelmed when they were having a lively discussion
- as I wanted to say my piece, the conversation had gone a different direction
And, more .... Then I thought, Hmmm ... how many attendees a fibro support group would realistically have every month? None or very few .... a few who would barely able to share much as you said @A MyFibroTeam Member!
I wish a director ventured to making a movie on that. I would be going to the theater with my shades and earplugs to watch the movie and would stay in bed for 2 days to recover from the excitement and overstimulation.
So, to answer your question, personally, I wouldn't join one if there was one in my area. I've found ourspace here a wonderful space from different perspectives. I'm quite content with being a part of this team.
Do you think I could have contributed this if we were sitting together? Nope!
Hugs! 🌷💜

A MyFibro...

Guess I lucked out again. I have a neighbour who not only has fibromyalgia, but also a son with autism. My son has Asperger's (think Sheldon on Big Bang theory)so my problem with him was much less than she has.wirh her son We don't talk much about either situation, but often give quiet support to each other and exchange knowing looks at times. It's a very comfortable friendship.

I think it would be nice. To meet people who have the same issues and understand you.

Pretty ordinary. I have found all my resources online by myself.
