I found the first time going to a support group was not helpful. I decided to give it another chance and it was benefical. As well as for me and my husband we to have been able to help others. Especially cause I deal with the issue of going to someone who has not dealt with the illness first hand and just learned from a text book. How can they possible fully understand what I go through. So hearing from others who do have to deal with the same thing really helps me and my husband. I do aggree that it did feel like it could of been run differently but we will take what we can from it. There is always room to improve if we share what we may need in the support group they were open for suggestions as to bringing in speakers and other options.
