Hi Frangi, missed you, nice to see you again, I'm a tad au de combat at the moment, but Zeb and haribo have been up to all sorts with the evil cats. Methinks we need another virtual trip again soon to cheer us all up as the nights draw in.

How you doing despite the stresses ? Sending posti e vibes your way :-)

Thanks Foggy, that's lovely - and so good to see your 'member of the month' title!

Oh yes - a virtual trip (claps hands and 'dances' in circles, gets tied up in something, collapses on sofa) um... sorry, what was that?

I wonder is anyone ready to go to the pantomime I recon we could put on a really good one along the lines of Snow white and the fibromites (dwrfs) Usual cast of heroine prince charming badly the bad one. A few animals a wicked witch or a sea witch tin man magic pumpkin/bumpkin you now the sort of thing . What do you recon shall we ask Sian an Pip and everyone. The plot needs writing etc. xxgins

Ooh yes, i love panto, lets do it!

Hi Frangipan

Good to hear from you, that is interesting but very expensive, there's no chance any doc will send me for that test at that price :o LOLOL

With respect to fun and games it sounds like Gins is looking for a fibro panto, not quite sure how it would work!? but could be fun :D

There will probably be another virtual trip soon, although, I'm not sure where to :o

Any suggestions? where would you like to visit to help cheer you up?

Warming and calming fluffies hope you feel better soon :)

Good evening frangi-pan,that's good news that there is a test but why so expensive! :(

Frangi-pan profile image
Frangi-pan in reply toharibo36

My guess is because it is still very new and they have to recoup the cost, but I'm sure it will come down and then come over here! x

I'm so sad to hear some of what you've been through oryan... It didn't give any details in the article about injections sadly. Hope for your sake it doesn't :)

I'm happy just now that they are trying to do something about this Fibro - specially since it's been treated as non-existent by so many docs... fibro has been recognised much more in the States which is why the research has been done there and this test discovered. It will be ages before it arrives here in Britain I suspect ;)

Hope you're going on ok just now... keep in touch with this forum - they are a great gang and very supportive of anybody - whatever or wherever they've come from :)

gentle hugs to you oryan. Frangi x

in reply toFrangi-pan
