My name is Rachel and i run the CFS/FM Support Group in Turramurra. I've been doing it for about five years now, i've had CFS for 7 years. We have a really lovely group of people and the meetings are very relaxed, just about having a chat to people who understand what you are going through. The reason i made it a group for 18-30's is that i'd been to other groups, but i wasn't meeting any young people. I found that although we were all struggling with the same illness, things like children and partners and even retirement were the main topics of conversation, things i couldn't relate to. I thought it would be nice, seeing as i hadn't found one, to start a group for people in their teens, 20's and 30's who were all facing similar challenges, lifestyle-wise, and could chat and maybe give each other advice.
Anyway, that's the story, if you are interested in coming along please send me an email.
