Spotted in a local cafe- this is what we like to see!

Please always remember to take your medication!! If you feel like it isn't helping you, contact your doctor and maybe you could get a higher dose or a different type!!

We've been featured in an article written by Dr Ali Ghahary! Check it out over at http://alighahary.ca/support-for-chronic- pain-sufferers/

This is Jayce, our volunteer web editor and Instagram guru! The site needs updating frequently, especially with all the new members, and the Instagram needs to be kept in check! Jayce organises like a pro and adds everyone to the correct groups!

Our fourth volunteer is our little star, Ruby. Ruby is one of our admins and helps out a great deal as well as running her own project, Chronically Cute Cards! Ruby helps with administration and keeping the site up to date, check out Ruby's project and request a card- they're beautiful! https://www.chronicallycutecards.com

Next up is the incredible Kegan! Kegan is one our illustrious social media managers, ensuring everything runs smoothly on our pages which include Facebook, twitter and instagram. Kegan helps massively to promote us and reach out to more members of the community who might benefit from joining out groups!

Ben is another one of our lovely volunteers! Ben is our data manager and is an absolute whizz at spreadsheets, he helps to keep track of all the members in order to add them to their relevant chosen groups. Without Ben, we'd all be struggling with the data side of things!

Our AUTISM group is now open for applications, visit sevenspoonschat.com to fill out an application form and become part of the group!

We're also introducing our lovely volunteers this week who keep the groups running! First up is Jade, the creator of Seven Spoons. Jade started with a group of 4 and within 2 days gained more and more members to allow Seven Spoons to properly launch! Jade is a wonderful leader who made this project despite struggling with her own health, with the goal of helping chronically ill people to feel less alone.

These are our current live groups, as well as a FIBROMYALGIA group. Anyone is welcome to join and we are always open to new group ideas, more groups will be launched in time once theres enough interest and members to create one! If you'd like to be a part of one or more of these groups, head over to our website sevenspoonschat.com and fill out a quick application form!
