While I am fully aware that this is just chat bots chat botting I still find it somewhat horrifying: independent.co.uk/tech/bing-…
Having an ongoing invisible poorly understood condition like Fibromyalgia is "interesting" - for the last four months I have had an ongoing very irritating although usually minor pain in my left elbow - which flared up to agonisingly painful if I dared lean on it, or say lift a
