I asked my doctor for painkillers for my Fybro and he wouldn't give me any.. He also has not suggested any help like pain management etc..

If Fybro is seen as a disbility in the UK what help am I entitled to??

Am I entitled to pain management ??

Am I entitled to get help from an Occupational Therapist to make improvements on my home?

    A dr. that won't give you reasons as to why he won't give you medication for pain is a dr. I would get rid of and find another one who listens and gives you all the ways to cope with this disease, including who to see about government help!
