Are there any support groups in SOUTH AFRICA for chronic perianal abscess sufferers?

I have been battling with a chronic ischiorectal abscess since July 2014 and over the last year it has become increasingly debilitating since having a seton drain inserted October last year. 

Living with this condition, which is so difficult to talk about to anyone as they just don't seem to understand, is starting to affect my personality, which is usually very positive and outgoing, and personal life. I wonder if there are any support group references that anyone has come across in their search for answers smile 

Although i live in SA, even an international group would be welcome. I just have to reach out and see if there is anyone who i can connect with that has had some success or is perhaps going through the same nightmare. 

Thanks in advance
