Experience register

As many of you know, I lost my two year daughter to sudden death in childhood, in January this year.

I had some wonderful emails from mumsnetters who had not made 'public' their experiences but came forward to help me whilst I was in the darkest of times.

I have been thinking about this and wondered if we could have a mumsnet 'office' held register - where we could register our experiences and should someone wish for specific help, they could be sent a list of email addresses from those willing to help.

It does not necessarily have to be life threatening topics - but could range from anything such as talipes to heart defects to losing a child.

It would not take away from the board, but I know that some of us have had (unfortunate is an inadequate word here) experiences that are out of the norm and perhaps could help others in their hours of need.

Not very well put but I am surrounded by children just in from school and have been wanting to suggest this for a while and have decided to do it now....

What do you all think?

Lovely idea though my expertise (adoption) is easy enough to get info for just by posting in the adoption section. Suppose I do have experience of fertility treatment failing and moving on from that too.

i forgot to add in my first post that i also have had hysterectomy,sciatica and frozen shoulder so maybe could help out with those things too.

reflux

coping with breast cancer (illness, treatment, where to find help - web resources and otherwise, etc) plus being a mum to young children and being seriously ill.

As tech is in very active mode, am bumping this for attention.
