The Acne Support Group in Cyberspace Real Life Support Group Conversation Room
is a support group and chat area for everyday people with acne to visit, discuss, share treatments, provide support, and move through the stressful event of having acne.
This specific ASGiC room is to share and discuss Real Life Acne Support Groups that people would like to set up in their own areas; like Greg pioneered at the Washington Scar Real Life Support Group (even thou he says he 'borrowed' the idea from me! (grins)
This is one of many of the Acne Support Groups out there, with the hope that armed with enough knowledge and support, there will one day come a time when we will all live in a world where we all have clear, healthy normal skin.
Anyone is welcome to post and share experiences and/or just have a general "bawl" about how you feel etc!
Good luck to everyone and remember, take what feels right for you, and let the rest go,
and when in doubt, always consult your doctor :)
Thx - Just Me :-)

WI Acne Support Group -- Kate Ehlke, 14:02:37 05/03/04 Mon

My name is Kate Ehlke and I have suffered with all forms of acne (including severe cyst acne) for 4 years. I am starting a support group for Wisconsin (other states are also welcome). This support group is meant to be a place where you can share your ups and downs with acne (with others that understand and are going through the same thing), make new friends and get support in your fight with acne. Remember we can do great things when we pull together…there is no need to fight alone any longer! Please e-mail me at wisconsin_violet@yahoo.com or call 414-672-1257 for more info.

Washington DC Real Life Scar Support Group Meeting Sun 2nd May @ 1pm -- Just Me, 21:51:46 05/01/04 Sat

Heya, taking the liberty of posting Lydia's email reminder re tomorrow's Real Life Acne Scar Group meeting in Washington: Email Lydia to confirm your attendance; or I guess just turn up!

<><><><><><><><><><><>
From: Lydia who's taken over from Greg re Washington DC Acne Scar Real Life Groups

Hi everyone!

Just a reminder, the

Washington DC real life Acne scar support group meeting

is this Sunday afternoon, 2nd May 2004 at

1pm at Clyde's in Tyson's Corner.


Please RSVP if you plan to attend, and I'll make the reservations.

I'll be there in the lobby, clutching Greg's green folder. Hope to see a lot of you there!

Lydia

Washington Scar Group website



Washington DC Real Life Acne Scar Support Group

WEBSITE: http://www.geocities.com/grege20815/washdcacnescarsupportgrp.html

WHO:

Anyone with scarring to any extent. We have all levels of severity.

WHY

: To *show & tell* each other about the various scar-revision stuff we've tried so we can help each other *separate the hope from the hype*. There's ALOT of hype out there and you can go broke real fast without much improvement to show for it.

*Before & After* pictures are nice, but seeing each other's real-life results in person, in 3D, goes 1 step better. The group is also for moral support of course. Repairing scars is usually a multi-procedural nightmare that requires tremendous guts, nerve, and an almost superhuman persistence. There is no 1-shot quick-fix for us (yet!). If there was there'd be no need for this support group.

WHEN:

Monthly on 1ST Sundays @ 1PM. Please RSVP via email to Lydia Preston at: Lydia.preston@att.net
before coming so we save you a seat. We meet in daylight so we can better see each others scars.

WHERE:

Clyde's Restaurant of Tysons Corner
8332 Leesburg Pike (Route 7)
Tysons Corner, VA 22182
Phone: (703) 734-1901
Fax: (703) 734-1280


DIRECTIONS: http://www.clydes.com/restaurants/cl-tysons-dir.html

ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE CLYDE'S:

If you're on time we'll be in the lobby, *hiding out in the dimly-lit* couch area (to your right as you enter). Just look for the person with the olive-green folder in hand -that's our *signal*. If you're running late, just ask the hostess to take you to the *Lydia* table.

Acne Scar Real Life Support Groups in London -- Just Me, 23:04:36 04/16/04 Fri

Heya all,

There are some threads on this in the Acne Scar Treatments Room and this is a continuation ... I will try and post them here if I find time .... as those of you who post a lot know, this posting is time consuming (smiles) ....

I was originally inspired by Greg who started up the Washington Scar Support Group in Real Life to initiate a real life scar support group in London; though I've recently come to realise that I personally know nothing about scars; not as much as most of you anyway; and being a female, I feel a little *unsafe* starting up a group in real life as I've had some unsettling experiences in my time.

I'm more than happy to start something up; ie do the design of the place, the venue, the date though and happy to attend one or two meetings etc ... oh geez; now that I'm actually putting this into writing it feels like I'm letting a good thing slip through my hands .... (grins) .... and that I really should / could be doing it ....

Ok, I'm going to think about it and see what happens and will follow my instincts on what happens next.

If anyone else in England or anywhere over the world that reads in ie Singapore etc, do feel free to post and start up your Acne Scar Group in Real Life meetings here .... just spread the word !!! There are a lot of people out there!!

Greg's group has been going and growing from strength to strength and he started it way back in 2001!!! Way to go Greg!!!

More later!!

Those from Singapore, etc, come on, you can do it-lah!! Jangan takut-lah! (senyum)!! Menuliskan di sini dan jika awak *build it*, mereka akan datang (senyum!)!!! (Translation for those in English - "if you build it, they will come"!)

Be Happy
Just Me
