Slow Cooker Vegan Rice pudding
This is a recipe I adapted from a regular recipe I was given and it turned out wonderfully, it reminded me of canned rice pudding and was a really nice treat. not to be eaten a lot as it does contain sugar and is full of carbs, but for when comfort food calls, this hits the spot. Feel free to sub the Rice milk for a milk of your choice, If you use soya, or regular milk the Oat cream is not essential as it will be creamy enough.

Sorry for the absence
Well where to start! Things have been very chaotic the last
couple of months it started with my dad taking ill back in July and he passed
away peacefully on the 22nd July there was all the emotions to deal
with and preparing for the funeral then the day itself, which alone was
exhausting.

Vegan Gluten Free Carrot cake cupcakes.
These are absolutely delicious and I adapted the recipe to make them gluten free, they are really moist and light and much too edible, I wanted to eat them all in one day, they lasted two! so do not ask me how well they keep as they do not last that long.

Motorcycling and CFS
The following was sent to me by one of the forum members ian2008 and it shows that we dont always have to give up what we love, we just have to find a way to manage it.
One of my great pleasures and passions in my life is motorcycling. Prior to getting CFS I would ride my motorcycle (bike) as far and as often as I could. My wife and I would go to many race meetings, go on holiday and ride out to quiet country spots and have a picnic. Many pleasurable hours were spent cleaning and repairing the bike. However, since CFS, my riding and enjoyment has been somewhat curtailed.

But I don’t have a Kindle.
My response when I heard about the Forum Publishing venture was 'oh fantastic, books', then I realised they were Kindle books and I didn’t have, and couldn’t afford, a Kindle. Quite miffed with myself I said on the forum that I was sorry I wouldn’t be able to get them, and then I was introduced to the wonder that is the free Kindle for PC application, that you can get literally in a couple of clicks on Amazon.

Coping with emotion.
This post sort of follows on from Kooky's post, we must both have been on a similar wavelength today.
People with CFS have to deal with all kinds of emotions in relation to dealing with chronic illness, theirs and their partners/families lives can be turned totally upside down, which in turn puts immense strain on relationships and mental well being.
Add to this the fact that some degree of emotional lability is not uncommon in CFS and what would normal be small things can upset someone with CFS greatly or make them angry. I think the main base of this is frustration and grief for your former life. Frustrations that you cannot do what you did before and anger as you want to be able to do things. Grief is a strange emotion not just appearing when you lose someone, I find I almost mourn for my old lifestyle, the old Carrie.
