The San Francisco Fibromyalgia (FM) & Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) Self-Help and Advocacy Group is for people with FM, CFIDS, and/or chronic myofascial pain - or those who think they may have one of these disorders. Friends and family are also welcome. Observers, such as healthcare providers, may attend if they identify themselves as such.

Meetings are held on the SECOND Saturday of every month, from 2-4 pm. Location: California Pacific Medical Center, Davies Campus at Castro St. and Duboce St. Rm. B2/3. Enter the North tower, take the elevator to level B. Parking in the garage is free on weekends. Take a ticket when you enter and insert it into the slot when you leave. You will not be charged. Public transportation: N, J, 22, 24, 6, 7, 66, 71. Wheelchair accessible.

This is a ***FRAGRANCE FREE*** meeting. And please DO NOT come to the meeting if you are CONTAGIOUS. Those who come will also be encouraged to stand, walk around, or whatever they need to do, to be comfortable. Bring a sheet if you need to lay down.

If you are planning to go to meetings, I strongly suggest that you get on the email list so that you can receive important notices. While meeting times and location will probably be the same every month, they are subject to change. If you don't have a computer or can't use one, you may call Cosi 415 564 2275 or Deborah 415 332 5279.
