Any Birmingham support groups?

I noticed that there are about a dozen members on here from the midlands. Are there any support groups that I am unaware of? I found one in Stoke, but it kept getting cancelled because of illness (unsurprisingly?) and then it stopped.... It would be great to meet up with some local endo sufferers like myself.

Not as far as I know. The one that met in the Women's Hospital closed a few years ago. I always wonder how group organisers manage it - my health makes me too unreliable to head up a group as much as I'd love to get involved.

Same here really....!! Its the nature of the beast I suppose. It's still a shame that we dont have anything locally though. It's always nice to have the option, even if we may have times where we are not well enough to attend. If you hear of anything, let me know

Take care

HI I am Liz the Support Network Manager at Endometriosis UK. There is a Support Group in Birmingham but they have been trying to juggle helath issues and work. If you are interested in getting involved send me an email and I will let you know when the group is going to have a meeting.

Hi Liz,

Im definitely interested in going to a meeting. I have quite severe endo, so I do have bad days. But! I would 'always' try to attend if I can, as I think it's really important to meet up with women who are in the same boat as I am. So yes, please let me know. If I felt well enough, I would come.

Thanks!
