Meet with local people who are surviving Fibromyalgia to discuss, share, laugh, and conquer the misconceptions regarding this disease.
I encourage you to find the strength & you will see how the power of a support group can get you through your worst days.
We do understand that there are many who have combination diagnosis such as RA, CFS, Lupus, & FM so please know that all are welcome! Much of what we discuss is chronic pain related & we are here for anyone who suffers in this way.
Support for Fibromyalgia in Kentuckiana is vital but if you are depressed and require immediate help, PLEASE contact the Seven Counties 24-Hour Crisis Hotline at (800) 221-0446.
NOTE: Kentuckiana Fibromyalgia Support Group is not yet a 501(c)3 listed non-profit organization. We do have an EIN and checking account under our name for corporations or organizations who would like to donate and require one. Please contact Sabrina Numann for further info.
Our Finance Report is public and available at any time to download off of our website. Any donations are immediately forwarded toward the function of this support group with all remaining proceeds to directly benefit the National Fibromyalgia Research Association (NFRA.net). I pay $19 every month to Meetup.com to keep this site running as well as doing all printing and ordering of all media materials. This is all done in collaboration of a LOT of volunteers who work together to keep this going. The only money I ask for is to reimburse me for the bracelets I purchase for $1/each through the National Fibromyalgia Research Association if you would like one for yourself.
DISCLAIMER: All information through our group is intended for general education purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional and/or medical advice. We are strictly volunteers who arrive each month to share our stories and our strength. Please remember that all Organizers have Fibromyalgia themselves and do NOT hold medical degrees. Any advice or material obtained should not be used as a substitute for any professional counseling or medical care. It is imperative that you discuss with your physician any educational material or advice you may obtain before deciding to alter any medical course of treatment.
We are a public support group and while Organizers urge all members to keep shared conversations private and within our meetings, it cannot be guaranteed information would not be disclosed to another party by other members.
