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!) and Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). I also write FanFiction based in both games.

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 or writing SWTOR FanFiction about the Sith. I’m enjoying both sides in my gaming time!
