Healing through sharing

Welcome to SoCal Rheumatoid Arthritis and Autoimmune Support Group (previously know as San Diego Rheumatoid and Autoimmune Support Group). The group is currently being “remodeled” and is expanding to serve San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Anyone with any form of autoimmune disease is welcome in our group, as well as family and friends.

This group is a no pressure, no nonsense group where you can feel comfortable about sharing your journey through life with an autoimmune disease. We want to listen with open ears and open hearts, as all of us understand to a degree what you are going through. We want to learn from each others’ experiences and reassure you that you are not “the only one.” The purpose of this group is to form relationships with others who are in the same boat with us, in order to gain support, information, and friendships.

The group will be hosting a variety of meetups including general “support” get-togethers, water exercise classes (once we find an indoor pool), holistic healing workshops, as well as events designed just to get out and have fun.

In addition to meetups, I want to promote an active online community. Dealing with autoimmune symptoms can be hard sometimes, and I know from experience that you cannot always count on feeling well enough to attend meetings. This group provides an online environment for sharing and support, or if you just want to talk. Check out our message board forums and always check in with the group to participate in discussion and polls, or even post an idea for a meetup.

Wishing everyone more and more happy healthy days!
Hope to meet you soon!
