  Sorry again, Breathes, I think we all end up in 'specialised' groups. My health is not too bad at the moment and I tend to drop in and out of groups like 'cage' and 'open minds' and some of the lighter humour sites.
  
  However, I do drop in here now and again to check on our fellow UK members. Not sure how others feel? Speak out!

  Thanks for replying scarlett and showgirl - did you find another support group yet showgirl that you are finding helpful?
  
  I do feel information re UK health and contacts would be very useful should we need extra assistant through the UK health authorities.
  
  Good wishes

  Hi all, I am in Chester, England. I joined this group a while back but I am a member of many other DS groups too. I am a recovered alcoholic but interested in all health discussions. The subject I am most experienced in is alcoholism and how it affected my life and those around me but I am gradually learning more about healthy living. Many of my friends have been severely affected health-wise by alcoholism but are in recovery now. One thing I have learned is that the human body is amazing and there is so much we can do to help ourselves. Best wishes to all.

  Hiya, i dont think there are very many uk users of ds. I have found people in the us very helpful and switched on. It's nice to contact people in the uk though with similar problems x
