Fibromyalgia Support Group to Start at CCMH

A new support group is expected to start at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in January.

Terri Cooney hopes to offer a fibromyalgia support group, based on interest, that would provide support and education to patients and caregivers. She also hopes the group will provide coping strategies and moral support as well as boost awareness about the illness. Since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005, she has researched the illness extensively, including various treatment options.

Cooney is a retired high school English teacher with 16 years of experience. She is also a Reiki master and teacher and is experienced in a number of mind/body therapies such as meditation, biofeedback, yoga and hypnosis.

To express interest in the group or for more information, contact Cooney at fibrofog@mail.com or 814/225-4400.
