I am currently trying to set up a register of people with gastroparesis, (or their family & friends), regardless of their method of treatment.

The idea is to enable people to have the opportunity to communicate with others in a similar situation. It would also enable me to keep you informed of any developments, by email.

In the long term, I would also like to be able to set up a conference/meeting perhaps annually or bi-annually, where views and experiences could be exchanged, possibly with an input from the medical profession and the manufaturers of the implant device - this idea is some-what in it's infancy - but please let me know what you think? Would this be beneficial to you or someone you know?

Would you like to be included on this register?

If so, please email me on:
CLEAL@fsmail.net

I will email a form back to you - don't worry the information required will be very limited ie.email address/name etc, and will not be used for any other purpose.
