A network of support & (hopefully) friends for people studying with the Open University who suffer with Fibromyalgia or similar conditions (CFS/ME etc)
"Ice Breaker" & About Me!!!
I thought i'd create a space (although i'm not sure if i've done it right as im hopeless at this kind of thing) for everyone to tell other members a bit about themselves. You can be as open & sharing or as silent and minimal as you wish, but thought it might help us to get to know each other a bit more, to find out whose who!!!
Details you might want to include (or not) could be...
- BASIC INFO: name, age, where you live etc.
- FAMILY LIFE: marital status, if you have any children, pets, work life, home life
- OTHER 'STUFF': interests & hobbies, likes & dislikes.
- OU LIFE: the course/module you are studying/hope to study, what you hope to do after you finish the course, why you chose the course/OU.
just a few ideas, like I said previoulsy, be as open and sharing or as closed or basic as you like.
I'll go first ....... (see following comment)

Hello & Welcome
Hello, and Welcome.
As a fellow fibro fighter I hope you're having a good day?
I thought i'd set up this group for fellow fibro fighters to come and have a rant and rave about how they are getting on with their condition and coping with the course!!!
I dont start my course until Fev 12, and i'm already wondering how i'll cope with the workload along with the exhaustion, "fibro fog" and general pain the condition brings, so thought it might be nice to have a supportive & empathetic "shoulder" to lean on on tough days & to celebrate with on good days when achievements are made!!!
We shall succeed, even with this awful condition trying to drag us down on a daily basis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
