Thanks very much for contacting me again...Hi Jodie. Thanks very much for contacting me again and thinking about me. I have thought about you since we were last in touch and wondered how you were doing. I’m managing the fibromyalgia and just getting on with life as best I can. I have an odd look at a few blogs but not much. I still aspire to starting up my blog again. We’re hoping to move house soon and all my craft things are packed away. It feels very strange not to be working on something. Just heard about a baby expected in September (a second grandchild for some friends) so I’ve started looking for a pattern for a baby blanket. Anyway, I am glad to hear you’re keeping reasonably well. All the best for now.

My blog went very quiet in 2018 as there were too many other demands but I am enjoying getting back into it this year. I hope your fibromyalgia is getting easier to control (or at least predict). I'm better acquainted with the things that will trigger a flare up of symptoms so things are relatively manageable at the moment. I hope you are still baking and finding fun in life whether that is with or without crochet or blogging. All the best, JodieJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-2369542197549008192017-09-02T20:02:09.098+01:002017-09-02T20:02:09.098+01:00Hi Jodie.

Just a thunderstorm and we lost the telephone line, telephone handsets, broadband hub and DVD player! Anyway, thanks again for your good wishes and for keeping in touch with me. The treatment is carrying on as before. Nothing makes me better but each bit of the treatment helps to a certain extent so I wouldn't stop any of them; medication, physiotherapy etc. Crochet is still one of my favourite hobbies so I try to do as much as I can without overdoing it. There's definitely not as much crochet now as there used to be. Baking has increased and I've started baking bread again. I use a bread maker to make the dough and then I cook it myself. And I like to make other types of bread that don't have to be kneaded. During the summer months my husband and I like to go camping as much as possible. That's usually a weekend every two or three weeks plus a couple of longer trips. There's really only one weekend left of this summer that we'll manage to get a weekend away with the tent. We find this so relaxing and do a lot of walking while we're away. Believe it or not, I don't even take my crocheting with me!<br />I'm still hoping to start blogging again. All the best for now.

Just checking in on your progress. It...Hi Gillian,<br />Just checking in on your progress. It's sad that fibromyalgia has forced you to cut down on some of your activities. I hope your treatment has been fruitful. Fibro is such a mysterious and unpredictable thing.<br />Your feelings about blogging (not wanting to start, only to stop or aggravate your condition) are totally understandable. Often, I find computing a strain on the body. Many people underestimate how tricky screen time can be on a body that is struggling with illness or injury.<br />Are you still crocheting or expanding the baking? I am interested to know whether you have changed your hobbies and interests through the whole fibro diagnosis.<br />I do hope you have found some improvement in your condition and also found things that make you happy and give you a better quality of life.<br />Wishing you well, always, Jodie xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-60001286767445052702017-01-01T10:12:49.576+00:002017-01-01T10:12:49.576+00:00Hi Jodie.

I don't even read blogs now as I would want to comment as well. I now, finally, have been told that I have fibromyalgia and have started treatment. My joints are less sore but not completely better. I still try to crochet but I've had to cut it down a lot. I keep thinking about writing my blog again but don't want to start and then find I have to stop. We'll see! I bought a bread maker and have been baking a lot. I couldn't do it if I had to knead the bread myself. I hope you are well.

I am wondering how the year has treated you and whether you have found relief for your painful joints. Do you still read blogs even if you aren't writing or commenting? I was hoping to send an email but couldn't find an email address for you. My email address is jodiebodiecrochets@gmail.com but I understand if you are unable to type - no obligation. I am hoping that the loss of your blog posts has been balanced with another activity that is enhancing your quality of life much more. Take care and all the best for 2017. xx Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-37306463167633976212016-04-08T16:27:22.547+01:002016-04-08T16:27:22.547+01:00O you poor soul !

I find that computer work will aggravate my joint pains much more than crochet ever did. If it were a choice between crochet or computer, the computer would definitely be the thing to go first!<br /><br />Thank you for taking time to share your world on your blog and also for always making time to visit everyone's blogs. Your words of encouragement and kindness mean a lot to so many. Wishing you a steady recovery and all the best with whatever the future holds. Here's hoping to see you back here again one day.
