      Hi I’m from the state of Georgia in the US. I have fibro and MS, and the MS has caused a loss of vision, so I no longer drive. But I do take Uber places when my husband can’t drive me. I have 2 things on my weekly calendar that I consistently do: work with homeless women or women in crisis (offer friendship and serve meals) and tutor a friend’s kids in reading. Those two things keep my energy zapped so I fit other things in my life as energy allows. I do love to bake, but I also love to eat what I back, so that’s not something I do too often. I also love to write and learn about new subjects….I’ve had fibro for 5 years now and I truly miss my go-go-go self that I was before. Getting to a place of acceptance is tough for me, but I’m working on that!

      I’m in Sycamore Illinois. I struggle with a lot so my hobbies have depleted. I love my fur babies an my grand fur babies. I have my 5 cats in my home an my kids have 3 cats an one doggy. I used to like to cook bake garden/yard work I fostered cats at my local shelter but had to stop “hopefully temporarily” cuz I loved it. So much. It’s upsetting to lose the things I love To do.

      Hi,I'm from England....recently diagnosed and really finding it hard to cope with it. I used to be fit, a lovely size 12, I used to run, exercise classes, work in a kitchen standing for hours at a time ....now I'm sitting down most of the day.....found hobbies to do, painting pictures, knitting and diamond painting. At the mo I'm having a flare up and my legs don't seem to be getting any better. Any ideas what I can do to relieve the pain x

      my daughter is 25 and lives with me. She is a "high functioning" autistic among other things so we watch a lot of Disney movies, especially when she becomes agitated or overwhelmed. Otherwise we binge watch different shows

      A California girl (woman), it's nice to meet you. I am a wife, mom, psychic medium and poet. My MS came with fibromyalgia and many other diagnosis. I still walk, I'm in pain, often wonder why this body decided to attack itself. Nice to meet everyone.

          @silverwolf69 so very nice to meet everyone! My spirit animal is the wolf, 🐺 just love your name. I have always wanted to meet someone else gifted like me. The more empathic you are, the more easily you get sick. The more energy around you, have you noticed that you get drained?

      Hi! Nice to meet you! 👋 Welcome to the site! I'm from the UK. As for hobbies - on good days I like to go for walks and do other activities out and about. On bad days I play/read gamebooks, create crafts, play boardgames, and do puzzles! I'm also working on developing my own games and try to do yoga every day. I also like to cook (used to be a chef) but I can find it quite tiring as my dishes are quite extravagant sometimes 😅 I have a lot of hobbies so I have things I can do no matter how well I'm feeling. What about you? ☺️ x
