Just wondering if there are any Australians in the group. Most of the support sites i have found are from the US, there seems to be much more awareness of FM there.

Maggie, I do think I remember that someone is from Australia,don't remeber who, if anyone (my account at the fog bank is overdrawn again). You might read the discussion topic 'Where is Everyone From"~~we're quite a diverse group

Welcome to DS Maggie, there are a few of your Country's ppl here, I'm in the UK and there are a few of us about as well, so know what you mean about the meds that are used in the USA and not where you are or where I am. Warm thoughts and hugs, Owlxx

Hi, MaggieM54...
I've just joined.. so learning my way around.
Welcome to a USA chat site.

I suffer from Migraines... sometimes I just have to give up and retire to the bed.

My wife and I have some wonderful friends who live near Melborne. The would love for us to visit. But, so far away.

Anyway,

Love and hugs....

Migraines? OUCH OUCH OUCH! Don't get me started! Hehe!

Seriously! Migraines make me sooooo sick! They are just another not fun, hard to deal with aspect of being chronically ill!

As if having Fibro wasn't enough!

Take care,
Stay sane!

Could it be that the american's call their meds by different names but in reality are the same as we use -vicodin (spl) is paracetamol.. just different name for same meds

This probably is the case thanks for your input :-)

Hi maggie, I'm Australian but live in New Zealand now. I am always looking for people on this side of the world (in our time zone). We do have a lot of the same medications but have different names for them - at least that is the case here in NZ. I don't get migranes generally, only the very odd one.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
