On the HealthUnlocked forum there are a few ladies who are getting together and looking for other PMR/GCA people in Cornwall, hoping to start a support group. I know there are people on here from Cornwall - are you also over there on HU with different names? If not - would you like to join them?

    For anyone else - the thread is called "diagnosed-pmr-beginning-of-may-2015" and it is towards the end that the discussion about support groups happens. Never occurred to me to say the thread name - sorry! I struggled to find it again and I knew what I was looking for!!!

      This forum is practically defunct due to changes in the format making it next to impossible to use. Please come over to the PMRGCAuk forum on HealthUnlocked

      https://healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk

      where you have the chance to meet something like 4000 active registered members including several in the southwest of England. PMRGCAuk does have a support group there normally but they may only be meeting with video at present because of Covid - some are, some aren't.
