Hi :-)
I'm Kit. I am a word geek, an arachnophile and a recovering goth, but this blog isn't about any of those. This blog is about being ill with something that is or resembles fibromyalgia. I'm using it partly to record my daily activities and symptoms, and partly to describe this sort of condition.
For the uninitiated, fibromyalgia is an awkwardly defined syndrome. Typical symptoms include widespread muscle pain, fatigue and 'brain fog', which makes it hard to think clearly or concentrate. Although it is often longterm, it isn't progressive or life-threatening. It is, however, frustrating and debilitating.
Today, I was proud of myself for making it through this morning's church service and then successfully driving from Surrey to my parents' home in Cheshire. It was a tough day, and I was exhausted this evening, but I coped (just about).
I wonder what tomorrow will bring...
