You might try looking in your local phone book under "Arthritis Foundation".  This organization has many local chapters accross the country and may be able to point you in the direction of other groups as well.  Also check with your Doc.  They might know of other various resources to refer you to.  I also know my Doc office offers periodic educational clinics.  Not a bad place to meet folks in your area dealing with the same issues.  I hope this helps, good luck!

I don't know if this site has a chat room.  If they don't, they should consider it.  Often times the groups are located too far to drive if you don't live in a city.  The closest one to me is a 45 minute drive.
