    Hi @Ami2301
    Sure.  I am 55 years young.  I developed CFS in 95 after a car accident.  Before that i was very fit going to the gym 5 nights a week, hillwalking and archery to name a few.  Head and heart says i still love those things but my body says yeah right!!!

    I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2016 a month after starting a four year social work hons degree which i am still fighting to complete and refuse to give in even though i am on my knees at times. 

    I am married to my best friend who is a massive support to me. 

    I live in the countryside which helps a lot and i love to paint along with other craft stuff.

      I also work as a childrens safeguarder which i love even although its very challlenging. 

    Hope thats not too much information.  Feel free to ask me any questions

    Hi @marmalade hey same, I do not like marmalade either but the name is great.

    It has got a sort of chemical taste to it to me?

    Hello @marmalade Thanks for reply. Hope you do find all of the community friendly.

    Maybe start a discussion.

    Your could say if you do not like Marmalade named after the Band.

    Nothing wrong with the Sixties music.  Got some on now.
