hi,i wondered if someone could help me?i am 32yrs old and i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 9 years ago and with 4 children it can be a struggle especially on really bad days.i get the pains in my legs,knees,all over back,shoulders,arms,hands and neck.i went to the doctors last week with pains in the back of my head and in centre of chest which was also put down to fibromyalgia.but since last night i've ben getting shooting pains that feels like it's going through my left breast and nipple.i was wondering if anyone else with fibro suffered with this too?i am not pregnant and it is not a menstrual thing.i am ftying not to worry,although it is difficult.

Ditto! Me too and it was the left breast and nipple!! It has just started recently but is very uncomfortable and painful.
I am 30 years older than you!!
FM is something else, is it not?? I am in awe of you coping with this debilitating illness and having young children.
Take care xx

I got some bad news today re: a claim for compensation for a work injury I suffered, which I believe kicked of my FM. Solicitor says it will be too difficult to prove the cause of my injury. It makes me so angry and upset as an hour later I get the figures from my employer, for redundancy (peanuts) that I feel I must take as I can no longer do my job, due to the injury at work!!
I will still have to go into work over the next 3.5 months which will be a nightmare. I can't risk them dismissing me due to ill health and finish with no £$£$ at all. I need the peanuts to tide me over for a while. I am a teacher by the way, who loved teaching. I can't believe I will soon have to give it up. Yet know I will not be deemed 'sick' enough for State benefits. How ironic eh??
Heard that the Tories want to limit the sick and disabled getting hospital appointments etc.; essentially putting us at the back of the queue so that 'workers' can get treated first. What planet do these people come from? They may as well open up the workhouses again. Sorry for the rant but feeling a bit of 'poor me' today. FM not good either and in a lot of pain; that's what I get for going for a long walk yesterday LOL.
Better tomorrow hopefully.

Sorry to hear about your work difficulties Jeannie, it's so harsh isn't it, especially when a person actually wants to work! Good luck to you both.

Thanks! I am sitting here wondering hwo I will manage financially. I have a really nice salary presently. To go from that to virtually nothing, is scary to say the least. I keep telling myself I can get some supply work, but who am I kidding, if I can't do my present teaching job?
Thankfully no loans/credit card bills. Can't shake off the feeling of being a 'failure'. I live with my son who although aged 24 and so called 'grown-up', still depends on me in many ways. Oh Poor me's again LOL.

I think that you will find a way forwards when you are ready and having the thinking space to do so. Can you give private tuition for example? You are not a failure Jeannie that's for sure
Perhaps when you get the rest of the school year done you will see the way more clearly. And yes I know what you mean re your son, I felt the same :-). Good luck.

What I would really like to do is try to do supply as a teaching assistant. It's not as stressful as a teaching role, with all the planning etc. that comes with that role. Being in charge of classes you don't know is quite a challenge, whereas the TA role is quite nice in comparison and definitely shorter hours. My needs are 'modest' and a bit of that kind of work would be ideal but don't know and won't know till September/October if there even is ANY of that work on supply. I do not want a full time, permanent post; its out of the question with my dodgy health.

I have had some really "badd" Fibro days of late.I have decided to treat my condition as an unseen handicap.
And Thank my Blessings,all things could be worse,its very hard to accept because the pain is not like a condition that can be eliminated so you just have to come to some kind of solution for yourself.And this came to me and I will try and accept 24/7.
Also,to my "breast" friend.Yes,just yesterday I noticed the same exact pain you spoke of.And I have learned
that sometimes when this occurs,check your deodorant.You may try another brand every 2/3 days,I flip flop
and when the pain comes I try not using for 2/days and this works fine for me,including if you have underarm
pain with it,as well.

The other night I watched 'Famous Rich and Hungry' on BBC which showed celebrities staying with people on benefits. There was a woman on there who had FM so I guess it is possible to qualify. I am not suggesting you could live on £93 a week which is what she was having to do, although she managed it by budgeting tightly.
I just want to agree wholeheartedly with other posts - you are NOT a failure.

Thanks for your kind words!
I hope I can find some nice TA work in a nice school. Here's hoping anyway. I am in a PRU at the moment but would prefer mainstream again. I was happier there and believe I would still be teaching if I had stayed in mainstream.
Everything happens for a reason and I just need to figure out the reason this has happened then I can move forward. Have to accept it and just need time I reckon. Time is a great healer is it not. Perhaps I can write that book now LOL...
