Hi Emma, thank you so much for your message 😊. Yeah my username is a bit odd, it's a name I made up, using Irish Gaelic elements, to use as a general username everywhere because I couldn't remember a different username for every site and I knew it would never be already taken! I usually include it in my game name unless I want to put a message in it.

Thank you for your thoughts and good wishes, it really means a lot to me. The friends I'm making in this forum have been so wonderful, since so many of them have health issues they really understand what I struggle with. Of course I wish no one had chronic illness, but since people do it's nice to have them as friends! It is really hard generally not to feel "lazy" for doing so much less than normal people, but you and my other friends here help so much by understanding and reminding me it's not my fault or my choice.

I saw you mentioned somewhere that you have migraines, which is something I'm fairly well acquainted with. I'm fortunate in that mine don't seem to be as painful as what most sufferers get, usually the other symptoms are what cause me more trouble. I really feel for people who have to deal with the level of pain I've heard described, it sounds unbearable. You don't have to feel guilty about not playing because you're ill either, I'm impressed you can even look at a screen during a migraine! I do get photosensitivity with my migraines so I know having a concentrated rectangle of light shone right in your eyes is not fun.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts as well, and I hope you're feeling better since the weekend, or if you're not that you'll feel better soon! And you'll always be on my friends list too, there's much more to being a friend than visiting or gifting in a virtual game!

Thanks,

Sara
