Class shows laughter is the best medicine
A CLASS in laughter has been trialled in the city to help people with ME.
The Thistle Foundation tested the event recently with the help of Capital organisation Edmesh.
Member Emma Gillon, who went on the course, said: "The instructor made us laugh by helping us to laugh, in the kindest possible way, at one another.
"He encouraged the funny side of each of us to slowly emerge and, before we knew where we were, laughter filled the room."
