Poor dear. Sometimes arthritis doctors know where to refer for support groups. I went to one Fibromyalgia, talk, signed up for the newsletter and my email is full of it. I used to get a Lupus newsletter from the Bay Area, in the mail, with useful tips. It was because my exhusband had severe Lupus. He died around age 30, from it. I've been thinking about him today.

I bet if you Google for your area tons of stuff ought to float up. Try your Arthritis Foundation.
