CEDA French - "This is an on-line support group for people living with EDS who speak French.  "Chers amis et amies francophones, Nous avons relancé, depuis la Belgique, le développement de la liste Cedafrench et depuis quelques semaines, une poignée d'entre nous échangent et communiquent à travers le superbe système! Si certains connaissent l'anglais, d'autres ne le maîtrisent malheureusement pas assez ou pas du tout pour venir grossir les rangs de votre liste en anglais. Le développement et l'implantation d'une liste en français nous paraît bien nécessaire et utile! Il y a des francophones un peu partout dans le monde, concernés de près par le SED et qui souhaiteraient échanger. Voudriez-vous nous rejoindre? Nous aurions bien besoin de votre partage d'expériences, de vos savoirs, et de votre soutien dans les bons et moins bons moments! A bientôt, sans doute sur la liste Cedafrench, dont je vous rappelle l'adresse http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cedafrench
Marie Françoise Sautelet, enseignante à l'hôpital, détachée pour donner cours à domicile à une fillette SED type VIIc(dermatosparaxis)."
  This group was formed on March 1, 2001 and had 24 members as of February 21, 2003.
