Katy/West Houston Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Support Community
Our support group offers support, compassion, camaraderie and help to local individuals affected by Fibromyalgia, CFS and chronic pain related syndromes.
We provide at least one meeting per month giving members a chance to exchange information, and also host guest speakers involved in healthcare. We also schedule lunch and movie dates or other activities to get members out of the house and socializing.
One of our main focuses is treatment through natural methods like nutritional changes, vitamin and supplement use, and safe exercise alternative. Often our meetings include cooking and juicing demonstrations. While prescription meds can be an important part of managing fm, we believe that the best approach includes using a variety of modlities.
Our website, at meetup.com, includes a discussion board where members can ask questions and offer advice to others.
Please feel.free to email for any additional information. And always remember...FM and chronic pain conditions CAN be managed! It is possible to regain your quality of life.
I try to schedule two meetings per month, one on a Wednesday during the day, and one held on a Saturday afternoon.
Currently our meetings are not scheduled on a specific day of each month, but are working on it!
Lunch, movie and other social outings are held whenever schedules allow.
Our meetings are usually small, giving members the opportunity to discuss their condition, and allow for lots of sharing of information.
Its important to maintain a social life, even if you do deal with chronic conditions. We schedule fun outings and encourage friendships among members. Houston is a huge city, and its great when members who live the same part of town are able to get to know each other.
As the facilitator, I always make myself available to meet privately with members.
