Hello George1973 you sound very happy and I'm glad to hear you are settling into work and making friends.

The social side of work is what I miss the most, although it does help to make new friends on the forum!

What is your job by the way?

Xx

Even when I was well I found the first few weeks of a new job was exhausting as we are often having to relearn things. So glad you are enjoying it.xx

well done keep going. someone once said to me

Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes form overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.

That's awesome news George1973 . And it's really nice you have a colleague with fibro it means your employer already knows about it and always good to have someone who understands.

I worked for b&q when I was 17 weekends only. And I loved it.
