    No not at the moment, other than I feel a bit down at present, can't think why?

    That's okay! Sorry you are feeling a bit down! You might find our coffee lounge or reasons to be cheerful board interesting to look through :)

    Hi Marylouise  the trouble with Fibro is that this messes with your brain and can cause bouts of depression or feeling low  : :)

    Hi @marylouise I too have fibromyalgia and it’s one of the most frustrating, annoying , painful and depressing syndromes ever ! 
    I hope you have fairly good days

    Hi Barberanna I suffer with Fibromyalgia and it’s the pits because it’s an invisible illness nobody truly understands how much or what your pain is unless they are fellow warriors that battle this nasty illness themselves  :). Keep your chin up we are here if you need us, do you follow fibromyalgia group on faceBook there are a couple of chat and help groups
