Has anyone thought of trying to start their own local support group? I live in rural MT and the closest one listed is over an hour away. Driving there and back after a full day of teaching would probably just exacerbate (sp?) my symptoms more than the group would help.

So, I'm thinking I should start a local face-to-face group. I love the support I'm getting here already, but it would be nice to get "real" hugs sometimes too, ya know? My hesitation is that it's one more thing to add to my already overly full plate. Any success/failure stories anyone might have with this issue?

Thanks bunches. Already luv u guys and gals!Ermm
