Members rallied to help someone in Denver find fibromyalgia support groups, sharing practical resources like Meetup and Eventbrite websites while acknowledging that many listed groups are no longer active. Several members encouraged starting a new group if none exist nearby, offering detailed advice on finding accessible restaurant meeting spaces that don't require food purchases, posting events online, and using discount coupons to help those with financial constraints. A recurring theme was the immense value of in-person connection, with members describing their own groups as places to share doctor recommendations, compare treatments, and find understanding among people who truly get what living with fibromyalgia is like.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, if there isn't one in your area maybe you can start one. You just need to call restaurants and find out where you can meet. You want one that won't require everyone to purchase food since some people can't afford it. There will always be some who will purchase. We meet at sweet tomatoes the first Sunday of every month. One of the members is really good at getting discount coupons and so can help those who may not be able to afford it. You just need to decide when to hold it and then post it on meet up. People will eventually find you. We have a membership of around 200. You won't have that many every time because it depends on how people feel. We did have about 20 this month.

Yes, definitely check Meetup. There also is another site called Eventbrite. They may also show local groups.

Not in the Denver area but i do know there are two fibro groups in Colorado. Im a member of the one in Colorado Springs since my husband was born n raised there and we travel there often enough that it was something i chose to join for the two of us (we both have fibro).

I live in Arizona and I am grateful that we do have a group here. It is very helpful to have people to talk things over with. Our group runs from 2 to 4:30 and the time just flies. There are a lot of great people. We share names of Drs, treatments and have some fun. I really look forward to going every month. It is extremely helpful.
