Hello Mary,

It looks like you've got everything under control.

I used to run the fibromyalgia support group in my town for 11 years and had to stop because I have Dementia, the fibromyalgia is still there for me unfortunately lol, keep smiling as it makes others wonder what you've been up to lol.

Take care Mary.

I am sorry to hear you had to give up the Fibro group. I agree you have to make the best of things.
