Welcome from me Please join in the discussions.1 -
Hi@sarahsmith_1984, hello and welcome1

Welcome to the community from me too @SARAHSMITH_1984 Thanks for joining, and for telling us a bit about yourself!
I'm also sorry to hear that you had that experience when trying to attend local groups and events. Have you had a look to see whether there are any social groups for disabled people in your area? They can be a bit more accessible. If you're not sure where to look, your local authority might be able to help.
I hope that you can connect with some likeminded people here on the community. The coffee lounge is a great place to take part in some casual chat and games. You can see the other kinds of topics we discuss here on the categories page.1 -
Hey @SARAHSMITH_1984! 😎 Welcome to the Scope online community!! It is fantastic to find out a bit about you and thank you for sharing your story with us 🙂.
I hope you have a positive experience here and get the opportunity to meet kind and interesting people.
I really like the profile photo! Sorry you had negative experiences in the past at local groups. It takes courage to accept living with a disability and everyone deserves to feel connected.
Have you got anything nice planned for the weekend?1 -

I agree @SARAHSMITH_1984. I always find heat helpful for fibro so I tend to struggle less in the summer than in the winter. In a way, the summer is a relief. However, as you say, that rule doesn't apply every day as it is unpredictable1
