Hi, I'm a lady of 59, and have been a Fybro sufferer for the past 4 years. I have a husband of 81 and married to him for the past 25 years. I am his full time carer, and we also have a dog, Fred who is 17 years
old, with a heart and renal problem, deaf and arthritic. So all together we are a right crook family.
I also have a degeneration of two lower discs and they are starting to rub together. Low Thyroid, depression, see a lady in Talking Therapies, and generally pee'd off. I hope I can get some ideas
from the other sufferes, and maybe given advice if needed.

I knew who it was. I could picture his face but could not remember his name.
What kept coming into my head was `cold weather`
That should have helped but only puzzled me more.

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I genuinely hope that you find the forum useful, informative and loads of fun!
I can see that our Foggy has given you the link to our mother site, Fibromyalgia Action UK so I will just genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.
Really bad day yesterday. I had a letter regarding some weight surgery, which has
been declined, too many issues, and so I was really upset. I am going around in circles, and it does my head in. Some days I wish I had never been born. I have never really had what could say was a happy childhood, and that is where a lot of my problems lie.I have made a few mistakes in my life, and I know everyone has demons, it's just I cannot seem to let mine go. I am getting Talking Therapy, and it does help, but I feel it is not the complete answer.
