NFA Chat Room Clarification

In case you missed one of my previous posts regarding the National Fibromyalgia Chat Room, I want to clarify that it is not an actual "Chat Room".
It's set up as Forums. It's still a great place to meet and respond to others with Fibro.
You can find it here Care Pages .
