Hi rottweiller69 oh I don't really know but if there isn't one, you should invent one lol You could be a millionaire lol I'll have one when you do hehe...xx

[rottweiller69 in reply to Janet28]

I love doing craft stuff so watch this space LOL you will be the first to know x

[Janet28 in reply to rottweiller69]

Excellent I will await lol.. you can buy cards & print on them what you want, no idea if it would out way the cost though. They do really good programs where you can design your own cards & they print & send you them, I can't remember the name of it but I'll tell you when it comes to me. They used to be about 5.99 for 100 but there is p.p on top of that. They do have special deals on though.

Luv Jan xx

[rottweiller69 in reply to Janet28]

Hi rottweiller69

I know the sort of thing you mean. ME Association do one for ME but I've not seen one for Fibro. Found a few things that might fit the bill or may give you some ideas for making your own though.

This is an 'in case of medical emergency' keyring/card for fibro iceinfo.co.uk/shoptop/adult...

Ah just found a keyring card that may fit the bill stickmancommunications.co.u...

Or if you wanted to make your own the fmauk.org site might help with suggestions of what to put fmauk.org/dmdocuments/Medic...

Depends on what you want to say on the card really.

Hope that helps.

Gentle hugs, Margaret.xxx

thank you lovely x hugs x

[rosewine in reply to ukmsmi4]

ukmsmi4 4 that keyring card seems to fit the bill exactly

[rottweiller69 in reply to rosewine]

I agree...its just what I needed...I only wanted the basics as our illness is so complicated to explain..but this is so black n white just whats needed x

[rottweiller69 in reply to ukmsmi4]

thankyou lovely I have purchased one of the cards you..sent me a link to..thankyou..it will help explain the basic term of this..so thankyou again xx

[ukmsmi4 in reply to rottweiller69]

You're welcome honey.

It is quite good isn't it. Rather than just listing symptoms which won't mean a lot unless you experience them, it explains a bit about what difference it actually makes to our lives, which is the significant bit isn't it.

Glad it's what you wanted.

Hugs.xxx

most definite/straight to the point just that and only that !!

[rottweiller69 in reply to ukmsmi4]

hi lovely,

I just wanted to thank you again for your help with my issue with a little card/key ring...just to let you know I got it in the post 📮 today and it is perfect it basically highlights what I want....very grateful to you.sending you a 😖

Problem is with a fibro card is what would it say yes we suffer a lot of the same symptoms pain brain fog fatigue but then we all go off on tangents and have our unique bits guess that's why they find it hard to diagnose us lol mind could be so thing as simple as just because I look ok doesn't mean I am or today's a flair up so just leave me alone. What ever you put please stick me on the list of I ll take a dozen cos I'm fed up of trying to explain what's wrong n why some days I'm almost human lol xxxxx

fibro-flare-shop.myshopwire... These sell the little information credit cards x

[rosewine in reply to korakes]

That's another brilliant one. Meeting my fit friends tomorrow wish I had one to show them then perhaps the penny would click that my life isn't the same as theirs.x

[rottweiller69 in reply to rosewine]

right back at ya 😊....i only ever feel confident about myself on here..don't know anyone locally..that I can meet and greet..someone like me..now that would be a miracle!!!. But try and have fun with your friends xx

[rosewine in reply to rottweiller69]

I do know one person who supposedly has fibro but I am convinced it is osteo as she seems to be able to do so much without it bothering her and is still working three days a week at 68. Mind you she does have a doting husband who runs her about everywhere and knowing him does the lions share of everything so that makes a difference.

Yes it is good to talk to others who can understand what life is like. I am so lucky that I am not as ill as many on the forum. My husband thinks it is gritted teeth and sheer determination on my part not to give into it but somedays it is a real struggle, lol.x

[rottweiller69 in reply to rosewine]

OMG you sound like you are describing me..im a tough cookie 🍪....i dose myself and strapped up and just get on with it...i will not be beaten..i have a lovely hubby who does help but I am stubborn even with him...i like it on here because I have a voice....

[rosewine in reply to rottweiller69]

Stubborn is a word often used here to describe me or cussed! I sort of plan everything ahead so hopefully I can manage things. It is like a military operation some days. Do the stretching exercises, hot shower, pain patches, bit of strapping, slathering on of Musselflex or freeze gel. It is making me laugh just typing it.x

[rottweiller69 in reply to rosewine]

OMG you are a clone of myself.xx

[korakes in reply to rottweiller69]

Have you tried to see if there is any fibro clubs nearby you can google your area and see, I run a group in prestatyn and its great nattering to people who understand x

[rottweiller69 in reply to korakes]

hi yes I finally found a group today..my daughter found it and phoned up...I go for the first time next week....so fingers crossed x
