    Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome.  To 'Janer1967, Chiarieds,Caz_scope,Tori_scope and Ami2301.  Not sure where I was supposed to post my reply but hope you all see this.  Yup, I'll check out the Community Coffee Lounge.  'Big Shout Out' to any 'SPOONIES' aka Fibromyalgia / CFS / M.E. sufferers out there just in case you wanted to know my 'affliction'. Looking forward to making some friends, sharing interests and offering any tips I have learned dealing with CFS  Hope you are all feeling well whatever your situations are.  Big hugs, Remster

    Hi @remster - Thank you for replying (in exactly the right place). I think I'm likely an honorary 'spoonie,' as the genetic disorder I have (the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) has been likened to Fibro with some of it's problems.  :)

    Hello @remster and a big hello to the community from me.  How are you doing today?

    I think I might be a spoonie too because I have Crohn's disease, although it is thankfully <touch wood> in remission at the moment.  How's your CFS behaving?

    If you ever want to speak with another member, one thing you can do is put an '@' in front of their username to tag them in your post and alert them.  Although it looks to me like you're getting to grips with our community smashingly already :)  

    Please let us know if you ever have any questions we can help you with and have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
