After reading Shirl's thread about Chinese food it got me thinking. What is the one thing, apart from support of loved ones and the forum, you cannot do without or which makes your life just that little bit easier.  Thinking caps on folks - this made for a very interesting discussion at work.

    Hi would say I could not live without my granddaughter and the laughter she brings with her.

    Also I have just got two puppies and the calmness when there asleep on my knee seems to make the pain feel not so bad.

    I couldn't do without a lovely summer evening sitting watching the sun go down.

    I agree Maggers;  was thinking the same, after the input re MSG...and wrote a long, boring vent on same....I'm beginning to think the same...what's left to eat/do....that doesn't give us a rebound?  Do we eat/do what we enjoy, and suffer the consequesnces....or abstain from all?  I'm interested in some ideas today, as am at bottom today....Bron

      Hi Bron

      Hope you are feeling a little better and the this thread has taken your mind off things at the moment.  Perhaps I should post a joke a day just to raise the odd smile or two.  Chin up

    Gosh you have all been thinking hard and perhaps thinking of the good things has taken the edge off the dreaded fibro for a few minutes.  It just goes to show that our favourite/essential things are as varied as the symptoms we experience.
