loo I couldn’t get back up again so I had to crawl to bed.
            I  had  hot  n  cold  flushes  and  restless  leg  syndrome  all
            night and finally woke up at 3pm this afternoon - still in
            yesterday’s  clothes  and  feeling  like  I  had  a  really  bad
            hangover. That’s an  example of  what  Fibromyalgia  and
            Migraine is really like. That’s the bit most people don’t get
            to see. Fibromyalgia Network

           It’s a bloody ongoing struggle to deal with but what adds
            insult  to  injury  and  makes  it  worse  is  when  people  say
            things like "Oh you just need to get out more" or "It’s
            probably  just  nerves"  or  "Its  a  case  of  mind  over
            matter"...... No one said any of that to me when I was
            fighting  the cancer. You  don’t  hear people  telling those
            with broken legs to "walk it off" or saying to diabetics or
            epileptics "You wanna come off all those meds" It really
            mind  boggles  me  and  annoys  me  that,  just  because
            Fibromyalgia isn’t a very well-known disease, people can’t
            seem to even believe it exists.

           It’s MY DAY! World Bi-Polar Day!  That means you have
            to raise awareness by finding a friend with bi-polar (such
            as me) and giving them gifts, cakes, money, treats of all
            kinds.

           Getting  the  paints  back  out.  First  piece
            I’ve  created  on  canvas  for  a  while.  I
            have  had  this  image  in  my  mind  for
            ages  wanting  something  like  it  in  my
            place  in  terms  of  it  being  an  artist  /
