support....

Hello all,

just a quick blog - was having a look at the discussion board and just wanted to say how wonderfully supportive all your board members are to each other. The Discussion Board is just one part of Verity and you can be a member of the Board but not the Charity (so do always consider joining the Charity as well!!!!) and is a mammoth task in itself (so big thanks to the Moderators) and all your own individual experiences are so valuable to each other.

So just wanted to give a huge pat on the back to you all. From being open about our experiences we can only help to get the word out there... so to speak on PCOS.
