Nice to read your update (as Tyger said, even if it's not all good news). If I can do anything to help you with writing support, let me know. There can definitely be a lot of benefit from having an in-person community, though, so good luck finding something. Perhaps you can find or create a group through the library or community college.
I was curious about the Cipro and yogurt thing, and whether you could take an acidophilus supplement instead, and it looks like maybe you can't take the Cipro *with* yogurt but that eating yogurt some hours later is okay. Obviously check with an actual medical professional about this, but here's an example of the advice online:
http://antibiotics.emedtv.com/ciprofloxacin/can-i-eat-yogurt-while-taking-ciprofloxacin.html "For example, if you are taking any of the oral forms of ciprofloxacin, do not eat yogurt or any other dairy or calcium products while taking it. Ciprofloxacin can bind to the calcium in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. However, you can take ciprofloxacin with meals that contain these food items. It is important to take your ciprofloxacin dosage at least two hours before or six hours after taking any product that contains calcium, including yogurt."
I'm sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia, but glad you have a definitive diagnosis. I'm eager to hear more about what you're going through with this.
Hope you can claim the room for your own creative space!
