A few squares of dark chocolate for me again. I have pleased myself with the restraint. Wasn't easy for me.

It has been lovely. If your willpower allows it just get yourself a good quality dark chocolate bar and take one or two squares each evening. Apparently, a small amount has health benefits (1 square is enough for that).
Give it a try and savour it. You know you're worth it!

Yeah I know that it is recommended to people with ME or CF that a small amount can help alieviate symptoms, but also helps just anyway - like a glass of red wine a night helps lower cholesterol and lowers the risk of heart disease!
Which brand do you get and how many syns? I find it impossible to find syns for just *chocolate* - they're all for branded things like milky ways, kit kats etc...

I had some from Thorntons but like Cadburys Bournville too. The figure below was quoted to me but please check it first with your consultant or use the syns calculator online.
Bournville Chocolate Bar, under 99 calories 17.5g bar, = 5 syns

Thank you for that will defo have another look round for other chocolates
And yes to the really - the studies and research for the effects of dark chocolate on ME were with a relatively small sample of people but they did find some positive effects and some doctors recommend it to patients with ME or CF
