Hi there! I live in Scotland but am originally from Canada. I was Dx'd in 2008 with FM by my GP (well, it was admittedly a bit of a joke in regards to that diagnosis, but hey ho...). Been in 4 car accidents, 3 of which I definitely had whiplash from. I used to own a catering company and some...

What are some of your favorite things to do? Either to distract you from the pain or to just enjoy life in general. I love watching movies, playing games, reading books. All those make me very happy when I have the free time to do them.
