Hello Nicola and everyone else!

My name is Stuart and my wife is Nicki and we live in Bristol - we
are two people in constant pain.

Nicki has suffered with FM & CFS for the last four years and up until
last year I was reasonably fit and healthy - then I was struck down
with chronic pain.

Nicki suffers from pain in her neck, shoulders and legs and I have
constant pain in my lower back and legs, especially my calves which
makes walking and moving around very difficult indeed.

I've just been laid off from work due to ill health and as I was only
there for four months I get zip! Nicki has been told to give up work
by her doctor and she is now on long term sick leave as well.

It would be great to interact on here with fellow sufferers - life
can really kick you in the nuts sometimes and we could all do with
some support.

Regards
Stuart & Nicki
