Hi Lewt -sorry don't think I can help you. This is the best forum I've found so far but nor relaly looked into chat things. I know that the AYME site (for people with ME under 25/26) has one, from memory, but not sure if you have to be a member or whatnot...?

Jenhug should've told em you were trying to cut down on carbs for the new year Or served it up with bread, which is how mum eats it anyways....

My hubby thought it was amusing, lukily we keep microwave rice in so he had that (kids wont eat rice) so i made them some chips later, their dinner did not fill them up! LOL!
I am really in pain tonight, taken my Ami's wont be long for bed I don't think, I am trying to avoid the co codamol the Dr said to take as I hear its highly addictive.

hi everyone :wave: hello new people

i was all ready after work to come on and post long replies but i have a total foghead :rolleyes:

bz i hope you find the perfect house this week

pcl i bought my sister gloves like that for xmas

jenhug your tea sounds just like something i would do.... or rather my usual is to put the tea out and then find something i just left and didnt give them still in the pan after they have eaten

im afraid thats it for me the fog has descended totally , im reallty, really tired after going back to work today after all that time off and also i spent quite a long time playing big snap earlier but was ok as i had another rather nice win so thats 2 this week and i only started playing on friday

keep warm everyone xxx

Raeh. I've been doing this since about October and have booger all to show for it. Never mind - someone stole my shopping mojo anyhow.

Sorry about the place BZ. It must mean that it wasn't right for you. I'm convinced something will come along for you when the time is right.

jenhug. I haven't found the co-codamol addictive and I have a highly addictive personality. However, some people have said they get a spacey feeling from them and I don't get anything (not even much pain relief) so maybe that's why. Do be open with your GP about this - if he/she doesn't know you feel this way, they won't be able to prescribe an alternative.

I am pleased someone BZ's type of age is here, iykwim. I have a feeling these type of medical problems make you grow up quite fast, but people of different ages have different life experiences.
OK, it's official I am talking even more nonsense than usual, but I hope you know what I mean!

btw BZ, turn your beggering heating on for longer! I don't fancy the idea of a BZ popsicle.


sharon, take your time until you get better - the chores will still be there when you're feeling more up to tackling them!

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell you how we should take pain meds regularly etc...;) but in the meantime, I've been taking cocodamol for years for various pains that paracetamol's not enough for and I'm not addicted Haven't heard that it's cocodamol is addictive either? But I do make a point of cycling/alternating my pain meds anyway (and am also worried about getting addicted to stuff btw).

How am I getting told off now?? The heating's on!! and has been for at least as long as I've been awake!
I am intrigued to see what a BZ popsicle would look like though (and the very fact that you used that word shows you've had too much contact with the Yanks lately! )
You only don't want one cos I wouldn't be here for you to tell off any more

Hello folks

My best mate has Fibo and asked me to ask you if anyone knows of a chat room rather than forum as she prefers the chat format.

if you know coudl you post it here and/or PM me a link please.

Hope your all having a good day and if i can help any of you in return in any way just ask.

Keep fighting the good fight

Hi, I think I heard that there was a facebook or my space group or 'thingy' for fibro. Can't vouch for it as I haven't been tempted by 'social networking' yet. I can barely keep up with emails and 'phone calls! Anyway It might be worth a try

on another note has anyone got any ideas how to cope with the dry-mouth side effect from amitrytiline. I have that rotten cold thats doing the rounds, a sore throat & dry mouth is horrible.

Oh and a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my fibro buddies. Take care of yourselves and keep the heating ON, no energy company will go bankrupt if they have to wait a few weeks extra for you to pay your bills (sorry to nag but I mean well )

Sorry BZ, I must have put 2 and 2 together and come to 5. Not all that unusual. :rolleyes:
Last of the Yanks goes home tomorrow, and I think you're right about me having too much time with them.

Night y'all
