I do understand, I know several who have a terrible time just getting
to the keyboard because of their chaos - that's what I call it,
chaos - it's not just one thing that is affected by CFS, or Fibro, or
Poly or any of the rest, it's EVERYTHING. I've been part of other
fibro groups, but the creative half of me needs a place where I can
share what I can do and who I am in a more welcoming place, as this
would be.

Now, one of the groups I do recommend, if you have the energy, is a
new group that I helped create, but realized I couldn't be part of
because I don't have fibromyalgia, and don't want to just talk about
the illness, that group is named FibroHurts_SupportGroup. And they
are a wonderful bunch of people, including several from different
foundations and such that sponsor research in the dreaded diseases.
It is a Yahoo group, so shouldn't be hard to find.

I have learned to make it a point to stay away from my computer for
at least one full day. This is tough, and I mean tough, because on
average I get over a thousand email messages every day. But if I
don't "rest" I can't straighten everything in my brain in time
to "work". I work as a minister, online, and only online. I have
audio sermons through BlogTalkRadio twice a week and Bible lessons
the rest of the days written in blog format. It is awesome.

I also work as a writer/poet with a personalized poetry business.
That is fun, because I can help all kinds of people share good
things, remember their loved ones and all the rest. I, for one, am
glad to be here, and will definitely help keep the conversation going
if it ever gets to be a lull.
