Yes very
Thanks Annie, where do you live?. Just waiting to see what response we get, another lady was interested too. xx
If I can make it to where ever it is.
Not sure yet Angel, I live Springwell, Gateshead. Another lady who was interested lives in Newcastle. Trouble is I have no experience of starting a support group and no medical experience of thyroid issues. I suffer with hypothyroidism myself and would like to meet with others with the same issues to see if we could support one another.
We are getting there, that's four so far. xx We'll leave it another week and see if any more respond.
Hey All, I lm sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've just seen the thread, I'm very interested in meeting up with folk, Im hyperthyroid but I would still be keen to meet up with hypo folk too as lots of the symptoms snd problems seem to be similar, would be great to chat with people who understand! x
That's five up to now, or the other option is that we meet and share the petrol and I would be happy to drive us up to the Morpeth meeting maybe once a month.??
Hi Coopsie,
It would be lovely to see you all if you can get up to Morpeth, our next meeting is on Friday 28th March from 2pm.
If you'd like some help with setting up a meeting in Newcastle I'm happy to help. I've sent you a PM with my contact details.
Barbara
Yes I would be very interested! I live in Chester le Street but happy to travel
Looking good that's 6 of us now. x
That's me (Dawn), Chippy14, Karen72, Heather77, Angel-of-the-north and Annie1. If we could get some idea of where everyone lives we could maybe find some common ground of where to meet.
I live Springwell Village, Chippy is in Chester-le-street, Heather is Wideopen, I am assuming Angel is Gateshead, not sure where Annie is. I work full time so it would have to be either a Wednesday or an evening for me. Depending on others I am up the galleries every Wednesday, if its convenient we could possibly meet up in the cafe up there?? Let me know what you all think. Any suggestions will be welcomed. X
I am free most Wednesday's so would be happy to meet then. It will be nice to share stories and experiences with people who understand how we are each feeling
Sainsburys cafe or somewhere else? x
That sounds great, but the next 2 Wednesdays I am with my sister and she 'suffers' from fantastic health!!! Therefore is not the most understanding person when it comes to health issues, (thinks I am a hypochondriac). But would be happy to meet up Wednesday 9th if you can do that. Muffin break is pleasant if its a sunny day, so shall we say 10am on the 9th if you can make it. I shall message the others interested to see if they want to meet, but I'll wait to see if its convenient for you first. x
Ahhh sorry I can't do the 9th due to it being school holidays - can we meet up after that? x
I can do the following Wednesday if thats any good. x
I will ask my mum to see if she can babysit and let you know x
Bring your little one with you if you like, I dont mind, have 6 grand children lol. xx
