      i had trouble with number 7. as i needed to rush to the loo as i have trouble with going for a wee i cant always get there in time as i have to go through 2 corridors in my flat and ended up wetting myself and because i dont like being negative i ended up doing number 11.  cause i can see the funny side in it as it reminded me of when i was a little boy lol.

      Hi Karen,  sad I know how it's like: I've got it too since I was 16. Probiotics is what proves most effective for me (1st thing in the morning) and, of course, no wheat, no milk, no alcohol, no.....XYZ, etc. Hard to manage all this  rolleyes people even think you're "fussy". 

      PS - some fennel tea also helps with bloating.  XXX. T.

      I totally agree about probiotics, I use to get nausea sore tummies etc, however since I have been taking probiotics, every day they have gone away. I have been doing that for four years with success. Once when I was away on holiday I ran out and the old symptoms came back. I was originally told to take them by a gastro specialist. I also eat the above mentioned diet 😖 boring but necessary in my case.

      Great to hear you had 3 lovely days, they make life worth living. Remember pace yourself and have a couple of days rest. Had a lovely day yesterday lunch with a girl friend, always great to catch up with friends, not something I do as frequently as I use to. xxx

    Hi Kaz We all need to learn to laugh more and never give up hope.

    Love people who understand us and leave everyone else behind.

    If they can't love us for who we are now then they are what we need to do at 4.

    How are you today?. I still feel a bit fuzzy around the edges and still have the burning and pins and needles in both legs.

    Oh the joy of fibro.

    How did you sleep last night, I'm back to 4 hours in bits and pieces.

    Your posts always make me think there is a way forward. You always appear so strong. It is a big help to have support on this forum.

    Gentle hugs and take care x

      Hi Janet It certainly helps if you can have a good laugh, other wise we would be constantly crying? Im a firm believer people take me as I am or not at all. I use to always worry about what people thought of me I always aimed to please people. not now dont care no more. Weve enough to cope with fibro with out worrying about people that dont understand our condition and who dont support us. I just plod on in my own sweet way get through each day, the best I can.what I try to do is block my conditions out, like they dont really exist. Fibro I try to block out but that isnt easy when your in constant pain. My back not great today burning still in right leg. but ploding on onwards upwards eh.I slept really well last night its the 1st night in a long time. that I slept soundly.sorry to hear your not sleeping so great, no fun is it. Hope your pins needles burning soon ease.for you. Ive had the burning 2 weeks now, thats the longest Ive ever had a symptom.Never mind battle on must go forward not backwards. thos forum has been a god send and a massive help support, Im so greatful for all the help support Ive been given. your a great bunch on here.take care gentle hugs x

      we cant let fibro win its taken enough from us as it is and we cant let it take away our human will to survive and even though im in agony i just look fibro right in the face and say give me your best shot i can take it and i laugh at the fact it maybe giving me hell but it sure aint going to take away my strong will to carry on and we may not be able to beat it but we can keep giving it a bloody good shot if fibro wants a war then lets give it 1
