Unfortunately you did, it was last Thursday. Next one in December when Dee is going to organise pre Christmas lunch - you don't want to miss that!

[Chrissy1953 in reply to DorsetLady]

Oh well. Will wait to hear about next one. Pre Christmas lunch sounds lovely

Hi All

Was that meeting at Haskins nr Ferndown?

I live in Wimborne and would love to meet other Pm sufferers. I am finding that one or two friends think I'm overreacting when I tell them that I have to rest when I feel very fatigued, which makes me feel a bit over dramatic.

Went on holiday with them and I think that they thought I was a bit of a 'party pooper', although I tried very hard not to be.. ended up "blubbing", because I felt so exhausted!

The exhaustion makes me not think straight and I slur sometimes.

Would your friends accept some bedtime reading that helps explain chronic illnesses do you think?

Go to this post and read the links:

You could print off the "stories" for them maybe.

Hi,

Yes, it's on Ham Lane B3073, so if you go off Canford Bottom roundabout easy to find.

Contact Deirdre on [e-mail] and she'll include you in reminder for meetings. Every 3 months, very informal, more chat and a cuppa really, but I think she trying to organise a Christmas lunch for December.

Please come, you can bring a friend or partner - it's just good to talk, and not have to explain - we all know, been there! Unfortunately I shan't make December lunch/meeting - off to sunnier climes!

Karen

Hi Karen,

I took just myself for my first meeting. Such a friendly group. Cup of tea and a chat. Having someone just nod and say yep! That's what happened to me or no your not being silly it's part of the PMR .

Look forward to meeting you there.
