I have been diagnosed recently and live in west central Alabama. Is there a support group for AN in Alabama?

Hi musicmaker,
We do have a support group in the Mobile area. We have a new leader who is trying to get a meeting scheduled this month.

In the past We have met on Saturday for a Dutch treat lunch. Sometimes we have had a speaker and sometimes it’s just sharing and answering questions.

As Mac84 says there are quite a few Alabama folks on here. I have not checked in for quite some time myself,,,

Feel free to PM me if you have questions or would be interested in attending a meeting in this area and we can get your contact info to include you.

Good luck to you in your research,,
Jane

There are three of us who meet once in a while. We will be happy to meet with you. This is a scary diagnosis with roller coaster emotions that go up and down.  We are all W & W. You can reach me at newsmom@gmail.com.

Sorry, I have taken so long to respond. Thank you for the invite.  I was invited to your last meeting but I live around 3 hours from Mobile and was unable to attend.
