Carberry Autumn Break.
The 5-day caring break for people
with ME is scheduled from
9th to 13th October.
The Prospectus for this should be available from the beginning of August.
For details, phone 0131 665 3135 or email: mail@carberrytower.org.
The question I am most often asked by members, new and existing, of the Network is:
can you recommend a sympathetic and knowledgeable doctor? Obviously the region is
very large and I only have my own experience to go by so in the last newsletter I asked
you for your recommendations and experiences to create a discreet database for the
benefit of fellow members. To date the only response I have received is from people
wanting answers, not from anyone recommending their own G.P. Is this because no one
is happy with their own G.P.? Surely someone must have something good to say about
some of our medical practitioners in this region?
Please get in touch with details of the medical practitioners you try to get an
appointment with and those you avoid along with where they practice to Craig Woods
on 01387 811082 / craig@dgme.co.uk.
