Anyone from Ireland - Irish researcher looking for Irish cases

Dear all,

I am in touch with an Irish scientist who is interested in doing research on PSSD and PFS.

He asked me if I knew anyone from Ireland.
He is new to the field so I guess he would like to meet up with a patient.
Please contact me if you know someone.

Ideally, the registry would also be used for a certain amount of disease-relevant control groups, such as SSRI users, finasteride users, isotretinoin users. The ME/CFS commun...
