    well done i am really pleased for yourazz , i am worried sick about getting mine again when it runs out in june . hate the fact that you have to go in so negative because if they see a flicker of positvty there say that your fit for work .

    they have to fail 20% of all claims even if they think they deserve it goverment guide lines ,be even worse after the election . so unfair on us .mad

    Ingrid your lucky ... My consultant  told me I had to cut down my hrs in work, told me where to get forms from... Had someone to help fill in post.... Went to appeal twice ( had to wait 2yrs inbetween) & last time they said I'm not ill enough so turned down lol... Coz I try & be as positive as I can... To make me get out of bed each morning...

    ive got other illnesses not just fibromyglia 

    got to wait another yr before I can re-apply

      i cant control my body temp i am either to hot or to cold , i cant wear tights or trousers for more than hr with out becoming so hot i feel faint sweat so much i start coming out in hives . 

      if i sit to long i go numb stand for to long the same ,i cant sleep at nigth for pain when i finaly get of its 5 hrs max and when  i wake up i am knackerd

      .i have sensory overload so cant be near people with certain perfumes etc on. or smokers with out physicly wretching ,

      i cant stand  certain lighting or noises and to many things going on at once sends my head in a whirl sad
