    Coping with Dry Eyes: Strategies, Support, Resources, and Products
    The meeting will include plenty of time for sharing and discussions.

    If you plan to attend, please email Peggy at seattlesjogrens@hotmail.com
    or leave a message at (206) 697-7897.

    Carpooling
    Feel free to use this thread to arrange carpools. I'm coming from Kitsap so if there's anyone over here that would like to a ride let me know.

    Too far?
    There is some talk of another group starting up closer to the border at some point - no firm timing yet though I believe. Contact Peggy if you're interested. Meantime, try and make it to this one if you can

    After the meeting
    Love to get a group together to go eat lunch somewhere afterwards if you're interested!

    hi Rebecca! I am supposed to be in central WA that weekend, but I think I will try to reschedule that so I can attend the meeting and yes, coffee or lunch afterwards would be great - I would love to meet you :-)

    As soon as I can I will rsvp.

        Forgot to post a follow-up!

        This was a small but wonderful group and I had a super time. Really great people, a wide age range, and many supportive spouses came too! As on the board, we talked about all kinds of dry eye topics and products.

        One thing that really struck me was when I asked how many of them felt that their eye doctor was really doing a good job for them. I think just about every hand went up! I've never seen so many dry eye patients in one place all happy with their eyecare. I definitely need to get those doctors' names posted in the DEYP... coming shortly.

        ((((Lynnie)))) great to meet you!!

          Will there be anymore meetings in the Seattle Area?

          Hi Rebecca,

          Do you know if there will be any more support groups or meetings in the Seattle area in the near future? Thanks!
