North East Lupus Support Group

[QueenV]

Hi I have Lupus & I know I can't be the only one in my area eg County Durham. Is there anyone interested in setting up a support group in the north east of England? Hope you're all having a good day!

Hi, I go to the Sjogren's Syndrome support group NESSA at the Freeman Hospital and there are quite a few people there with Lupus. I live in Hexham and that is my closest contact. I might be interested if the location was easy to get to.

Hi Queen V there is a group in Stockton. The last meeting was cancelled but it was advertised here. I too live in Co Durham. I don't think we are at all alone in Co Durham it would be nice to chat with people who have similar problems. I find this site a great help and so supportive.

Take care and hope to meet you one day.

Hi all, I have just came across this post. I live 3 miles outside of Durham centre. I would be very interested in meeting others, it feels so lonely having this illness. Has anyone managed to put a group together?

Hi it's great hearing from you. I live in Chester le Street & another lady from Chester le Street has also contacted me but we are yet to meet up. However we do text each other. Can I ask how old you are & if you can manage to work? Many thanks. Vanessa

Hi Vanessa, thank you for your reply. I am 36 and unable to work. I was a newly qualified counsellor and it's one of the hardest things I have had to come to terms with. How about you? It would be great to stay in touch. Vicci
