Healthy Happy Woman
2,016 members
Back in 1997 I started an organisation called the Hysterectomy Association. 22 years later it closed and all the information moved to a new website called Healthy Happy Woman. The new site is about health, happiness and writing in the 21st century and will share posts, flash fiction and health and well-being information mostly for women. I hope you’ll join me in the latest part of a long journey to wellness.
Living Positively with Cerebral Palsy
461 members
I have Cerebral Palsy. I have had it since birth. I'm adult now. What I have found is that there is a lot of information out there for parents who have children with Cerebral Palsy. However, there is not a lot of support and information for adults with the condition. This is bad because Cerebral Palsy is treated like a childhood condition. This is surprising as it is not a progressive condition. People with Cerebral Palsy do not fall off the face of the earth when they hit eighteen years old. 1 in every 400 children are affected by cerebral palsy. These children will have this chronic condition for life. So if you want to share your experiences of Cerebral Palsy in adulthood. This is the place to do it. Connect with others who understand your situation!

We are a adult liver patient support group based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Whatever kind of liver disease you may have, we are here to support you. Whilst we will endeavour to assist you with any queries relating to liver disease it would be inappropraite for us to comment on liver function blood test as there are too many variables involved to generalise. Your hepatologist is the appropriate person to ask for advice in this instance.

Hello, and welcome to Gender Identity! The Gender Identity community is here to provide help and support for people living with Gender Identity issues in whatever form they take. The community is run by a group of individuals who are a part of the community, living with Gender Identity issues just as you are.
