    Hi, Bee 70,

    I'm on the low side myself so know what your saying.Days like this, you

    Just don't know what to do with yourself. I want to cry one minute and

    hide myself up the next. Sometimes I feel like screaming although I

    never do. I was told yesterday that my working days are over as the

    fibro etc has got really bad....not so happy about that. Is there maybe a hobby that you could do if only to take your mind of it for a while. Today is a "sod it" day.so been curled up since this afternoon. Its laughable

    A really. I used to have duvet days with my kids when they were small, now I

    have bl***y sod it duvet days!!

    Keep your chin up hun know its hard but thinking of you.

      Hi Macvee, I feel for you, have been there myself.  I was told my nursing days were over after 36 years, as my safety, and that of my patients, was being compromised, due to FM and arthritis. I was able to then take on a part time post as ward clerk in the same small hospital, which worked out well, but was only a temporary post, covering maternity leave. I had quite a lot of time off sick during my year's contract, including the past 6 weeks which takes me to the end of my contract. I am no longer able to work. I used to work Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday and Friday, and would then spend most of the weekend asleep. I will be claiming ESA on April 1st. I am glad not to have to struggle with it any more, and at home I can pace myself more easily. I really appreciate being able to just look at blue skies, and listen to the birds. I wish you luck. xx
