@LizJL Thanks Liz!

I feel a bit flayed putting this out there but my mother, who also has fibro, said: "If this can help even one person, that's everything." https://t.co/EL90yHRNd0

#Bondi now. Hearing that the Woolies here is packed though 🤦🏼‍♀️. (Also, Bucket List, the bar on the front, is shut – but the throng has moved to Lush next door ... )
