You don't mention where you live so I can't give you any specific group information, however, there are a couple of resources you can check that list FM support groups:

 

•  The National Fibromyalgia Association:  http://www.fmaware.org/site/PageServer?pagename=community_supportGroupInformation

 

•  ProHealth:  http://www.prohealth.com/supportgroups/index.cfm

 

There may also be a group in your area that has not sent its information into these directories.  Check with your local newspaper and area hospitals as they often have a list of various types of support groups in the area. 

 

Good luck to you.
