Hi - I had a kidney transplant in the UK a few years ago and wondering if anyone has any experience of transferring post-transplant care to the French system, before I make any commitment to stay in France long-term?  Was it easy to transfer? Quality of care good, regular check-ups etc? Eligibility for transplant list in France if required in the future? Costs?!! Any information would be really helpful Thanks

Hi, we are looking for a herbalist so my husband can continue with some treatment he started in the UK. Yes, I know the EU has made so many things illegal (being in the pay of the rich pharmaceutical companies), but it's up to us to choose to take any risk.  We can travel up to 2h, so Toulouse, Bordeaux, Bayonne all feasible from where we are.  Please PM me if you are a herbalist, or know of one.  Thanks.

I desperately need to find an english speaking doctor in the area. If you know of any in the areas I mentioned (Fonsorbes, Saint Lys, Plaisance du Touch, L'Isle Jourdain) please email me. I would really appreciate it.

Looking back at discussions, this has come up time and time again, but some comments are a couple of years old.  Does anyone know of a good hairdresser please between Auch and Lannemezan or even Toulouse.  Cannot  keep going back to the UK for a decent cut.   Thank you   

We are moving to France later this year and I am trying to find out if we will need top up health insurance  I am retired and my partner is 64 and retired but not claiming his pension which he will claim on his 65th birthday in February 2014, do pensioners have to have a top up insurance or are they covered in full by the French system, we realise we have to get a S1 form from the UK to cover us when we move. Any help would be much appreciated Thank AnnieB 

Hi all, I am looking for 20 volunteers for 3 treatments each of the Bowen technique ( google for info)  i need the commitment to have one session (lasting approx 1 hour) per week for 3 weeks.  Particularly suitable for back and shoulder problems along with a range of other issues.  I can travel to you but would be looking for a contribution to my petrol costs, other than that the sessions are free.  Please email me for further details.

Is there anyone out there with ME or do you know of anyone who has it? France is not the best place for sufferers, as it is a largely unrecognised illness. Would be interested in getting in touch.  I am in the Ariege. Thank you.
