LOIS,
Welcome to the forum. My life is crazy right now so I am sorry it has taken me so long to welcome you aboard. I hope you will jump in and start posting and answering other members questions. Take time to read through the different sections and pick the ones that interest you the most. there are many posts about pain and fatigue, IBS and family problems and worries. Check out the alternative methods and also all the off-topic sections. And vent whenever you need too.
Also read the blogs as they can provide interesting ideas on many topic's. Look forward to seeing you around the forum.
