For July's meeting, I will start by telling you all about my amazing time at the Creative Health Institute in Michigan, where I just returned from their two-week program. The Institute teaches how to completely heal illness (including fibromyalgia) through diet and, let me tell you, it was a life-changing experience!

For a change of pace, I thought we'd try to meet at Karyn's- my favorite raw foods restaurant in the city! Read more

      So excited to finally have found a fibro support group in Chgo. I've had fm (& all associated illnesses) for nearly 10yrs. I quit work 2yrs ago & am fighting for disability. I have a very supportive family (hus. 3 grown children 2 grandgirls)

       Thank you Jennifer! It's great to meet you. I'll be at the meeting this coming Saturday, hope to meet you in person then if you can make it. I was lucky to have known an ex-coworker who had Fibro before I was diagnosed. She didn't talk much about it, but I could see how difficult it was for her. I think I'm a little more perceptive than most people. It never bothered me that she would trick me into going with her to run errands during lunch, I could tell she needed the help. ;-)

      Chicago is not well represented when it comes to support groups for Fibro. Glad to find out about your group. I am now retired from nursing because it has become too physically difficult for me to stay on my feet for eight hours a day.
