I was back in the saddle today after a few days of neuro pain and general yukkiness, and it was lovely to feel the fresh air on my arms and legs again after a long winter. I didn't want to overdo it, and I didn't want to push myself too hard, but boy did I …

My Fibro Friend
I don't often like to post about my health problems on my blog, but now and again I think I have to because it might just help someone else. Today is one of those days. If you get squeamish about descriptions of pain please don't read any further, but if you are a fellow fibromyalgia …
Blue Roses
Still feeling a little fragile today. On top of the other health stuff that's weighing me down at the minute I've had my flu jab and an armful of blood taken today which has left me feeling sore, miserable and mard tonight. I am suffering a little with a fibromyalgia flare up tonight, and the …
Feeling Fragile
Do you ever get those times where you feel a bit fragile? I'm feeling like that at the minute if the truth is told. I've had a couple of health issues recently and an appointment with my GP on Monday last week has left me feeling a bit on the touchy and fragile-y side of …
Keeping the Legs Turning
I've been off my bike for a little while because of various reasons, and so it was with some trepidation that I sallied forth this morning on the old rusty stead. But boy was I glad I made the effort! I managed a pretty decent 6 3/4 miles today in just under 50 minutes, at …

Human Instinct in a Time of Crisis
In times of crisis, our natural human instincts come to the fore. We could argue that they are not that far from the surface at the best of times, and therefore when it isn’t the best of times, our instincts are ready and waiting to break through the thin veneer of civility and respectability that …
Attack of the Fibro
I have had a spell of relative wellness with my fibromyalgia which has lasted about two weeks or so, which is great news, and apart from a 3 day migraine last week, I have enjoyed the freedoms that reduced pain, improved movement, and a general upturn in my outlook during it. But, before you go …
Fibromyalgia and Me
Exactly ten years ago today, my life changed forever. How's that for an opening statement?! But, seriously, it did. I had been feeling poorly for a little whilst and had even taken time off work the previous October with what I thought was a chest infection, and on this day ten years ago, I went …
New Year, New You?
It's that time of year again. You know the one. Where you are bombarded with images and slogans imploring you to "turn a new page", "start a new chapter", "be a new you", "set those goals" and all that kind of thing. Social media is flooded with images like these: All these (and more) all …
