      Hiya Kaz,, I'm well..hope you are too...must share this: my daughter and little son took me to the local supermarket today..now I'd already shopped with Tony...,so didn't really need much, there was a few things I still needed...well, talk about Fibro Fog .,every time I turned to a new isle I just forgot what I needed.grr. ,anyway, we walked down every Isle  and my daughter was pointing to things saying : " do you need this/that." ..she was soooo funny...we had such a laugh,,....empty  trolley and hour later...got home looked In the pantry than remembered..,mmm.,if we don't laugh at ourselves ..other will do it, and negatively.., for sure..I ended up going out yesterday-Thursday..I git up sooo early and felt good...so I pushed it a bit more...but today apart from my little trip to the shop..I'm enjoying sitting outside, having a salad lunch and cuppa, beautiful weather..need more if it....,come on summer..,hooe your sleeping better and you manage to finish your bathroom this weekend, be blessed Kaz, hope you have a lovely weekend...:-) xxx

      morning christine Its frustrating when we cant remember things, but some times we do have to laugh about it. else other wise I think we would do nothing but cry. Its good you and your daughter had a good laugh yesterday trawling up down the isles bless you both. funny how you can always remember things when you get back home. I shop on line I plan my meals for each day. I have to get my husband to go through list with me to check weve got what we need and a meal for each day. Im finding Im struggling even shopping on line. Im not very well today, I think Ive got a chest infection. I feel very weak chest not good at all. Ive only got up as expecting a parcel delivery. Ive had no sleep husband snoring and son coughing. Then I couldnt breath felt sick so not a good night at all. its sunshinning here. hope you have a lovely day and weekend. enjoy your lunch and cupa and the beautiful weather your having. Im going to lie down take care gentle hugs xx

      O' poor you Kaz...hope it's not a chest infection...just horrid what comes our way...give yourself a chilaxing day...awful that you couldn't sleep..it's just soo hard to handke pain the next day without sleep...I'm sure a lot if friends on this site that suffer too much with pain..if they could get a few goin nights sleep, they would be abke to cope better..it's a lively day here..quite sunny it's 10 past 11 am, Tony has just gone over the supermarket to get some of the things I forgit yesterday....isn't. It just sooo time consuming....I will remember what I want when I'm preparing a meal...funny that I can remember recipes..mm..or do I? pray be I just put things in In the spur..well if I do..it has always turned out ok...I do end up typing mist recipes out on here..my iPad in the notes...when I was quite young, even before marriage, I always run on lists...maybe I'll have to go back to it..I never minded it then...such a perfectionist...it's just too hard to be one now..lol..gentle hugs Kaz..hooe your feeling better by now and managed to get some quality sleep...as it's probably about 1am there...,there is such a time difference isn't there? ...be blessed. Have yourself a lovely weekend.,:-) xxx

    Hi Christine; when you tell us your sister has the Thyroid Fog,  I think that is why there is so much talk re some of the people who have been diagnosed with CFS and Fibro, may also have Thyroid probs......as I was put onto a book titled "Tears Behind Closed Doors", by another lady who used to come on this forum, and after having read it, Really feel why it is connected......sooooo many of the symptoms are soo similar.........and is always/often over-looked as our bloods come back with Thyroid "within normal range".....but  after reading this book, which really made me think, one comment made was "what is normal for all, as No-one has had their bloods done prior to becoming ill"....which is so true....so how does the lab who does the test, know what "our" normal range is/was?????Everyone is so different, and this book suggests that perhaps "instead of measuring our Thyroid Function Hormone, perhaps even measuring our TSH, which if Elevated, would say that our Pituitary gland is Over-working and Why????.....this lady was wheel-chair bound for many years, but did not stop questioning and seeking answers and was proven right, that it was Low Thyroid, all the time......well worth reading and very interesting for me............I feel that if it helped even one more person to get back to a more normal life, it would be worth it......my GP has commenced me on Throxin, and still early days, but will try to persist and see how I go???.............wink​Bron

      Must get the book..sounds very interesting,,I don't know what my sisters illness is all about, but her eyes see almost popping and she just saidO that's just the " Graves' disease..when I asked what that was she just said,,,she had thyroid trouble ???? sounds a bit bad but with her on the mainland we only usually message eachother and chat once in a while, I'm seeing all my family over there befire the end if the year,,I must have a good chat  to her...thanks fir sharing it's just sooo interesting...I will share it with her too..be blessed Bronwyn..have a lovely weekend..:-) xxxx

      I've had a lovely weekend thanks Kaz..it's Monday morning here...11am nice day..our dates are lovely at the moment very warm..nearly summer...we have had bushfires in our state already and are in for quite a hot summer..glad I don't live near the bush...we don't live far away from the Tamar River....lots of  apple orchards and wineries..so we will be ok....glad the sun was shining for you..it's a real treat when the weather puts on a show for us, fir sure..hope that nasty virus has gone..how horrid..as

      if we don't get enough to deal with Fibro plus...how's your bathroom coming along..sounded really lovely...it's funny isn't it..every time we go to do something like that everything seems to come up and stop the progress..I'm really looking forward to our little holiday on the mainland coming soon..can't wait to see family...it doesn't happen very often...when we tirst moved here.,we were like a tourist guides,,,soooo many family members come over...we are a tourist isle too..anyway 20 odd yrs down the track hardly no one comes...I'm not complaining really..that little strip of water-.Bass Strait, has kept us guarded from family squabbles too....but its really nice to see my mum and daughter and grandaughter..mind you with social media, it's like I don't miss too much, nothing beats seeing them in person though..
