who we are

PEM Friends is a patient support group for pemphigus and pemphigoid, based in the UK

We are dedicated to providing support to people living with pemphigus or pemphigoid; including patients, family member and  friends who care about and care for them.

PEM Friends offers support to those in the UK and beyond, so if you have pemphigus or pemphigoid, or if you know someone who does, then PEM Friends is for you.

This is the place to share personal stories, pose questions, and ask for and receive support and friendship. Remember, we've all been through what you're going through - so who better to chat with about your physical and emotional well-being.

PEM Friends, an independent non-profit group, was established by our patron, Carolyn Blain, and is run by patients, for patients and their carers.
