Did you know there are over 80 kinds of auto immune diseases? Even with those stats, we often feel alone with our health issues. Our healthy friends (bless them!) don't "get it". Wouldn't it be great to all get-together to meet others like us who have RA, or myositis, or thyroid, or lupus, CFS, FM, Lichen Planus or any related condition?
If you are looking to make new friends that understand the nature of these illnesses, then I hope you join this group.
Although I am based in Morris County, I hope to plan our "meets" in various areas of N. NJ and NY/NYC.
Chat and sip on some coffee/tea or have a sandwich in Oakland! This is casual, come out meet others and give & receive support!
When you RSVP, please do so on www.meetup.com
Upcoming Meetups
I know it's hard to plan ahead when you have an illness. If you can't make any, there will be more meetups next year.
Support a Meetup group while getting exposure to active, local members.
What members are saying
“ You can learn from others that have similar diseases. ”
“ Its important to have friends with similar problems to share your common concerns and questions with. Also just to make new friends. ”
