Welcome to the digital home-from-home of
FibroJedi (
Catch Me on Twitter). Here I will occasionally blog about life with
Fibromyalgia.
However the bulk of my posts centre around gaming on The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), especially festival/event guides.
I also write lore-faithful LOTRO FanFiction.

I am thirty-something, fighting many
symptoms of Fibromyalgia and I live in Scotland. I have a wife, a daughter and a cat. I also drink far too much
coffee.
Due to chronic pain, I can no longer hold down a ‘normal job’, so am looking to support my family through a little through this blog.
Find out more about me in You Behind the Illness.
I chose the name
FibroJedi as ‘Fibro’ is the shortened version of ‘Fibromyalgia’ (
What is Fibromyalgia?) and I have more in common with the Jedi philosophy than the Sith Code.
Though as you’ll see from this site, I’m not averse to role-playing and used to write SWTOR FanFiction about the Sith. I enjoy both sides of the Force, in reality!
The character I’ve written about for the longest time is a Shadow Jedi, Cor-Jhan. So still Jedi, kinda.

- This Blog: of course this site is a project too! LOTRO guides, Fibromyalgia stuff and LOTRO FanFiction.
- Drawing as Rest: This is a hobby and not something I’m ever looking to turn into income. You can see completed pieces on my DeviantArt profile. WIP drawings are periodically shared on Ko-Fi.

2021: I have begun to very slow reintroduce SWTOR into my gaming. But I’ve had a rough few weeks and haven’t got into rhythm again yet. From August I hope to have at least one session a week in SWTOR.
May The Spoons Be With You.
