I was just on the Eating for IBS board and met another person from Maryland Username zile04 (Kendra)!! So maybe we can do a June meeting if you are up to it and try to get more people from the MAryland support board to come. I would love to meet a fellow fibromite as well as IBSer. What do you think?

I feel like I did in the third grade when you nearly jump out of your seat trying to get the teacher to call on you when you raise your hand!!! Can I come too???? Silver spring isn't too far and as long as you meet earlier for lunch as opposed to later I could make it. I'm helping a freind get ready for a surprise party that night, but I don't plan to head to her place until one or two o'clock. What do you think? I'd love to see Nelly again and to meet Christy and Kendra! Eagerly!!

I have a bunch of other symptoms like insomnia, photosensitivity, sensitivity to hot and cold, and this weird thing where if I hit my arm or leg I feel it daaaays afterwards even though I might not bruise. Do some research on the web for it. There's a bunch of us who have been diagnosed with fibro.
