2.4 Is there a support group on the commercial on-line service America On-Line (AOL)?

Yes, and the instructions for accessing it are as follows: 1) Go to
Keyword: Health, 2) Click on "Message Boards", 3) Click on "Self-help &
Support".

There is also a support group that meets for real time chat in Private
Room CROHNSCOLITIS. The group meets Sunday nights at 9pm eastern, and
Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8 pm eastern. The group has received positive
reviews, with many commenting that it is "the friendliest room online with
everyone receiving massive greetings upon entering the room." The group has
also been putting out a free monthly e-mail newsletter since February 1996.
To get to the room, enter The People Connection. Click on the icon that
says List Rooms. Click on Private Room, and type CROHNSCOLITIS.
Note that the group is not an official entity of AOL; instead, the
meetings are kept in a private room to avoid the "structure and regimentation"
of AOL's TOS. (terms of service.)
