Hello Zoe,

I met my partner after about 3 years of Fibro and we now have a little squishy baby! :D

I used online dating but I must say that I saw an old flame on there as we've know each other since teens I messaged him and then we met up. Please don't think this can't happen to you too!

Have you got a support group near you? It might me nice to talk to others but also friends of people join in especially if they have a fundraising social and it is a chance for you meet others if you can manage that evening? The romance could flourish from there on the internet using communication like Facetime or Google + has free face chat too!!! (which you probably know about already) You may find a group from some of the UK charities listings or a Facebook page.

Get the Bridget Jones girlie video out and await your date ! then treat yourself by getting your nails done or a facial and go get em' !

Hi, I have Fibro and must say I met my heart's desire in 2009 when I fell very ill, lost a lot of weight and looked really bad. he has been understanding and put up with alot from me, i.e mood physical complaints and even sensory.We have struggled in our relationship in the last 12 months. I had gotten so depressed with my health, issues with my teenage daughter, I never could go out with him, he likes going out and having a good time every chance he gets. We so wanted to get married this year but the problems never resolved, he is still around as we have a six month old beautiful baby and I need lots of help with her. He is really lovely but not sure how much he understands my needs completely.
