About our Arthritis Support Group Meetings of South Lake County - Clermont, Florida

We spend time in our “face-to-face” (f2f) once a month support group meetings sharing our own personal stories about how we "LIVE" not just "survive" with our Arthritis and chronic pain one day at a time. Special guest speakers give presentations at the beginning of our meetings then we take time to share and comfort members until it is time to go home. We are not in a great rush to go home either because our spending time with others that understand us is a form of healing and comfort we really enjoy. So we dawdle… Our display tables at the meetings are loaded with current information, pamphlets, books, videos, samples and brochures to help us learn about our illnesses and become aware of our options to live a healthier and more comfortable life. We also stay in touch with each other and our newly adopted "pen pals" as far away as Ireland by email or old fashioned letter writing (ah, a lost craft.)

What are your meetings like? How do you deal with your Arthritis? What helps you feel better?
