I am going to Turkey today and am really looking forward to the rest I am hoping to get as well as the sea air, warmth of the sun and less stressful life I am hoping to have there.
I will be away for six weeks and was hoping to be able to take the laptop with me but in case that doesn't happen I am hoping tp schedule some posts to happen magically while I am away.
If I can get near a computer will also post some up to date posts of how I am coping with living in another country, on my own for a short while and any other topics that crop up.

CFIDS Online Support Group-Loneliness
I am including the following transcript of my email response for my online support group with CFIDS. http://www.cfidsselfhelp.org/
We have a topic each month some suggested by members and each person can post about how it affects them and what they do that helps.
This has been such an invaluable support to me over the last few years knowing there are people around that understand that you can reach out to you can ask a question, email an individual if you want and gain insights into how other people cope. First I did an online course where I was taught coping strategies and target setting and then I became part of this alumni group ( I have no idea how you say alumni but anyway thats the group I'm in)
So heres my post:
Hi everyone and welcome to our new members
। I think the worse bit of loneliness is that of not knowing people around that you can talk to about fibro but this group makes a big diffference to feelings of isolation.
When I have had to have yet another day in bed and no one around during the day then I do get a bit low but Itry to connect with people either by phone text or internet.
Thankfully my husband bought a laptop for us to use recently which is wonderful for keeping in touch with people online chatting on MSN or emailing from my bed.
I also like to try and write some letters with snail mail as its lovely to post and then receive letters and cards in the post.
kind regards Linda
