Hi all really enjoying my holiday :)

Been here one week now and only have 1 week left :( it's really hot here hottest it has been is 41'c.

I'm finding the heat good as I haven't had much pain at all only when I'm in bed as its rock hard.

Only problem I am having is water retention on my feet, which is bothering me a little as its making it uncomfortable on my scares on my right foot. Any ideas how to sort it out?? Please

I have a good size room with a tiny bath, I have found it a little difficult to get out as there isn't much room, but finally managed to work something out. Anyway best b off going for a bath.

Speak to you all soon :)

So glad your holiday is going well :) have you tried bundling something under your lower legs to lift them a little? have to be something comfortable though ;) if not poss in bed, what about during the day when you're basking in the sun... draining your feet and legs on and off during the day and/or night helps a lot - staying in that position too long not good either so little and often, just as it is when coping with any fibro symptom ;)

take care and hope you really enjoy your second week Frangixx

Glad you are basking in the warmth sound marvelous, take care in the bath :) Try raising the end of the bed so when you sleep your legs are elevated. You dont want to worry about diuretics on holiday I suspect all will return to normal when you get home!

Have a brilliant time

Glad to hear you're having a good time. If you're at the sea have a paddle or sit on the edge of the pool and let your feet soak and cool. X

Yeah I have thanks at the pool. I had my legs up on pillows today which I found very painful on my feet and legs xx
