Are there any lymphedema chat rooms? thanks?

There are lots of support groups and message boards but not alot of chatrooms. I have one in my group, Lymphland, that you can join. We have an email based group then bimonthly chat, the next chat is this week, haven't picked a day yet because I have the dr monday for a root canal and I want to be sure I'll not be in pain and miss it lol.

http://www.lymphland.com is my website, on the first page is the support group, upper right is the directory, if you click on Chat it will take you to the login, sometimes some of the members meet in there at different times.

if you search the net for lymphedema it will bring up a whole bunch of medical and patient websites to explain what it is and the differences between the kinds that a person may get. but if you search for lymphedema forums it will show you a bunch of forums that you can be a part of. also if you look for lymphedema online support groups that works too.
good luck
