The
links below will take you to a state-level information and support
organization, or, if there is no state-level organization known, to a list of
nonsectarian support groups known by the webmaster to be in that state. If
there are no organizations listed for your state, try the state closest to
you; for example, people living in eastern California would try Nevada or
Arizona.

a listing of all support groups within that state, please submit the
following information by email:

group for that state should be submitted to the webmaster of the organization
who is maintaining that state-level listing.

For those who
are homebound (as most of us are from time to time), there are many online
support groups functioning by email lists or "groups". Some may be
limited regionally, while on others you may find yourself 'talking' with
people from around the country - and from other countries. The locations and
names of these lists change from time to time as moderators/listnannies change and other free service providers offer
new opportunities. Check out the Health, Self-Help, and Support areas on the
following list/group sites to see if there are any
CFS, FM, or ME, groups that interest you.
