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. To

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

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. Google
