Where are we all situated in UK?? Would be good to be in touch by phone or even getting together sometime??

[Goodienuff]

I know this might be a pipedream (am not sure how possible it will be to get any more than 2 fibromites together on a good day) but would be good if we could get together, swap phone numbers etc.

I am in Barnsley South Yorkshire

Evening All,

I am 35 years old and mother to Bea and Dan with are 17 and 15.

I am luckly (or unluckly) and work full time whilst trying to study law.

Gentle hugs to all

[heavenly]

Hi everyone. I am 60 feel like 90 most days haha. I live with my husband and have 2 adult children who still live with me. I live in Swansea Wales. Not sure if we can get together as we are all over the place. I had a idea though, if your interested and have the energy why not place a advert in the local stores or post office ect to ask if there are any other fibro sufferers in your area who would like to get together to socialize and meet up for support. Maybe you could hire a community centre for example sometimes you can get them cheap for hire and then share the cost. The only drawback is be careful about leaving your phone numbers incase you get some idiot who thinks its funny to phone you at stupid o clock, possible ask the store owner if they are happy to take phone numbers off anyone interested who sees the advert, just a thought to ponder on, Good luck xx
