Congratulations to all here at HealthUnlocked -FibroAction....

...... Come on everyone, it's time to celebrate reaching the 16000 member goalpost

It takes a lot of hope and faith to find people who understand us and it is down to all of us that we have grown and are still growing into a fantastic, friendly fibro forum where it is not only a safe place to be but we all have something in common.

We all live life in pain everyday!..... here we positively share how to manage our lives with it, sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry!!

We all live life with chronic illness everyday!..... here we comfort each other with words of support and advice!!

We all feel trapped and lost at times and need someone to talk to!.... here there is always someone just around the corner who may be able to help you!!

We live life with invisible illness everyday............ no we're not see-through, it is others who may be blind and need to accept it!!

We are too tired to do what we'd like to do.......... no we're not lazy it is others who can't see that we need help!!

We all rattle when we walk and forget what we went to the kitchen for........... here we laugh and cry about it!!

It's good to laugh........ it's good for the soul

It's also good to cry and let off steam

SO LETS CELEBRATE OUR FRIENDLY FIBRO FORUM

Well done everyone including all volunteers and all at fibroaction.org and HU

...................It's down to us that it is the way it is!

Is THAT why you kept falling over and took a tumble from your bike?

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

Now there's a thought . . .

and finished in an undignified heap

Sugary coated cornflakes, that used to have a grrrrrrrrrreat crunch if not left in milk to go soggy

Hi all. I am in bed, well it is 11-30pm, unable to sleep, again, but have had a good ole read of today's posts & having a good chuckle at some & feeling sorry for others with their sadness.

I was very surprised to read how many people are now on this forum, I haven't been here all that long but am so glad I joined & been able to find the people who understand fibro, It has helped me no end.

Thanks to you all. Keep up the good work my friends. xx

[Hidden in reply to TheAuthor]

I agree Luke Tri-Walker

Remember when we were celebrating 10,000 it wasn't really that long ago!

It's amazing how many people that have fibro and find us helpful and friendly and now now have somewhere safe to turn to for help and advice

Supersoft fluffies for you and Julie
