Thanks. I was really hesitant to bring that up at all (and I think I talked about how my hesitation probably led to me avoiding a dx at all for nigh onto these last ten years). I want to believe that there has to be a way to work with the world around me to find accommodations as needed without sliding into whiny territory. Can I develop compassion for those who are having such a hard time that they are difficult to be around, while at the same time trying hard not to be difficult myself? Is that the same as spouting size-acceptance ideas while at the same time loathing my own reflection? I've been struggling with this, you betcha

I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling with fibro as well, but I sincerely appreciate your kind words and empathy.
The club we belong to has a "therapy pool," warmer than the regular pool but not as hot as the hot tub, and one end is about 6 feet deep. I can just hang there, and gently move about, and all my pain, especially the spinal arthritis stuff, just melts away. I do a little yoga-type movement and it definitely helps. I got at least twice a week, but if it was easier to get there, I'd be there daily.
