I am actively involved with The Northern California Chapter of The Neuropathy Association. We have now started 30 support groups in Northern California with two other groups joining the network. We'd be glad to send our start up guide to anyone interested in starting a group. Our next information meetings to hopefully start a support group are Redwood City, San Bruno, San Rafael, Modesto, Merced, Fresno, Truckee, Susanville, and Alturas. We hope to be in the north coast in May. If you are in any of these areas and need information about time and location, please let us know by responding to this post. Our goal is to have a support group within 50 miles of everyone in Northern California. Most are much closer than that. We welcome Members-at-Large. They receive the monthly newsletter. A painfree and restful night is wished for all. Lamplighter
