As a fellow "fibro" sufferer, you have my every sympathy. Sometimes I get that way about not just camping, but pretty much everything. Perhaps its just how you are feeling just now. I know sometimes Fibro gets me really down. Hope you dont give up camping, because I think you may just live to regret it in the future. Keep on fighting and gentle hugs

Thank you for that message, its very hard living with Fibro and yes you are right, it is getting me down at the moment, I guess that is what could have caused my knee jerk reaction and saying I was jacking it in.

How long have you had Fibro?




Sorry Outdoor Lass,

I've not been on much due to training for my cycle for charity. I've had fibro for around 6 years now. I have to say that its more manageable now, although I really dont like taking pills and for the last 4 years i've been taking Tramadol to counteract the pain, and they seem to help. I do find that my moods go through some terrible swings a lot of the time, but circumstance can sometimes be to blame for that too if Im honest with myself.   Its one of these rotten conditions that some folks question. I was very active, worked very hard (sometimes too hard) and had a job I loved. Unfortunately due to my wife's MS and the Fibro, I had to give up and look after her and the kids - something I have no problem with, but sometimes my pride does get the better of me. Dont give up camping, just look at it differently and you'll understand.

Gentle Hugs

Des.

Perhaps it was a site with no set pitches and people just pitch where they like. We stayed on a site like that a few years ago. We went out for the day, only to return and find the people in the tent next to us were so close that they couldn't peg the guy lines out or they would have had to peg them down inside our tent! We suggested they moved but they had completely set up and didn't want to! They were nice and quiet and left the next day, but it was very strange to have the tent literally 2 feet from ours. 

Nope they were set pitches, as they all have EHU and are numbered. They did have very big tents though.

I have learnt one thing though, me and slopey pitches do not go well together, makes me feel disorientated bit like sea sickness.

Anyone know any nice flat campsites??

How come having no choice is the only option?
