Hello I'm Claire, ask me questions about living with chronic pain

gareth79

Hi  Alex, thanks for the information, however I do manage to cope with everything from the pain to fatigue, it seems  many people with fibro struggle with anxiety and depression, I don't have that, I just accept it for what it is and keep going, I find when I stop doing things or give up on things it gets worse, so for instance I go out  cycling but I force myself to do it at times, and can't cover anywhere near the distances I used to, but still enjoy it.  As for the fatigue,  this time of year the fatigue is worse, but it's manageable just annoying. 
Studying, I am currently doing a psychology degree, this year I needed more points to progress to year 3 so I'm studying mental health and counselling at present. ( When I have the energy to concentrate ☺️)
