Lovely that you have found this forum. Exchanging experience with other people helps so much.

Did you know that there is a Gwent group that meets in Caerphilly? - second Saturday of alternate months (next Sept 8th) - at the Library, The Twyn, 9.30 - 12 with, usually, a short talk at 10am - next month it's about Yoga. Please come and make yourself known to Ceri who is super at welcoming. I can't go next time, unfortunately and will miss it.

Thank you, yes I had seen and will def be going, its only 5mins from me. I also am interested in yoga. Hope to see you at the next one. I am also going to the talk from Dr Piper at ystrad fawr, are you? She is my consultant. Being newly diagnosed I want to find out everything. x

[oldtimer in reply to lorna_James]

yes I'll be going to hear Maddy Piper - I'm very impressed by her!

I've heard she's retiring soon.

Hello Lorna,

I'm from Caerphilly, well just outside to be more precise. I also go to rheumy at Ystrad Fawr and have been under Dr Piper for the last 6 years or thereabouts. I really like her and will be really sad if she does retire.

Hi Lorna we will be really pleased to see you at our next support group meeting in Caerphilly Library. It is Saturday 8th September i will be there at 9.30 when library opens - talk starts about 10. It is on the second floor but there is a lift if you have not been there before. We are a small friendly group and most people live locally. You may know some of us. Look forward to seeing you. Ceri
