Last Thursday (the 14th April) I went to the hospital for the three month follow up appointment following the fibromyalgia coping skills course I completed just before last Christmas. I was really looking forward to going back and seeing how everyone was getting on. The whole point of the follow up meeting was to see […]
Most days I wear a support on my right wrist to help me carry on with my days normally. You can almost guarantee that in that day at least one person will ask me “What have you done?” and then look at me strange when in one sentence I try and explain that I have […]
Of all the months in the year April is usually the worst. I tend to find that some of the worst times have happened in April and that just makes me hate the month. This coming month its going to be totally different! I am going to go into May 1st feeling awesome. Firstly lets […]

On monday I turn 25 years old so I have been thinking about all the things that I would like to achieve before I turn 26 years old in 368 days time! In the last year I have graduated from uni and finally got some kind of diagnosis for my pain and have started moving […]
