How long til I get a diagnosis??
?I'm new in here and not diagnosed yet but all the symptoms are coming back to this.... I have just had RA ruled out so slowly we cross off the list overlapping health issues.
I have degenerative spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis along with borderline diabetes anxiety and depression..... the fatigue is awful isn't it!! I had to pull over at the side of the road for naps I was so bad so have stopped driving and therefore working!!
I have been trying to claim pip for nearly a year but they keep messing me about which makes me want to give up.....

Hi Paula,
yes, you are right, fatigue is awful
there are days when I just can't keep my eyes open and have even struggled not to nod off whilst standing.
When you say that RA has been ruled out, was that decided by a Rheumatologist? Gegenerative spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis along with borderline diabetes anxiety and depression is enough to cause fatigue, but I'm wondering if they have mentioned Fibromyalgia?
Can I ask, if you don't mind that is, what you mean when you say the DLA keep messing you about regarding a PIP claim. x

keep working closely with your physician.
Keep a diary so that you can use it as evidence.
I know nothing of PIP because I am in the USA.
Don't give up...if you give up, you will lose.

No idea how long it takes, I was told Fibro when I went to see a Rhumatolgist - went to get a better treatment plan for my OA and got told fibro at the end of the appointment.
Not been working for a year now, but we've gotten on government assistance without issue since we're already in the process of applying for diability so it was an auto accaptance to get on to it.
