    Hello, hope you find someone to share your journey with. While I don't suffer chronic pain, my mother has polymyalgea and my sister has lupus so I do have some understanding of the difficulties that you are probably facing. Happy to be a friend although not quite what you're looking for. xx

    I can sort of relate, I have Auoimmune hepatitis, cfs, and the side effects of the meds mean i have pain almost daily although a different pain each day, so its a bit pot luck where it will be, amongst other stuff. I have found that going the gym has helped a lot with the CFS.

    I definitely have chronic pain issues. I am 36, have arthritis throughout my body, made worse by my hypermobility. I've just started swimming again but even that hurts!

    Hi, I have fibromyalgia, Raynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, Mortons neuroma, plantar fasciitis and hyper mobility. I'm currently trying to increase my movement, doing little walks and stretches to try and increase strength after being bed bound/ wheelchair bound for a very long time
    It's nice to chat to people who understand being in pain. I also post in chronic pain and weight loss group

    How are we all doing today? This changing weather is killing me!
    If any of you fancy it, Manchester university are doing a study on how weather effects our pain. Look for 'Cloudy with a chance of pain'. It'll ask you some questions and then send you to an app called uMotif.
    Enjoy!

    Struggling to keep track at the moment. My mums off her feet due to an abscess in her foot and my dads just found out he has cancer. Plus my body is struggling to cope.
    Any advice for getting back on track is most welcome!
