Hugs Grumpy. I hope your MP can help. Seems like people who truly need DLA, etc are treated badlyy far too often. Can your GP give you something for the RLS? I have robinerole. It doesn't take it all away but certainly does help .

Gentle hugs

Hi grumpy no how u feel I have FMS amongst. Other illnesses in all four quadrants, had Bad night last night as the restless leg syndrome kicked in again and once that starts there's no stopping it, drove me bonkers, have your teeth started hurting yet, mine do, I can't use metal cutlery I have to use plastic cutlery, did suggest that get them all taken out but they said no point as it's the nerve endings that are causing the pain, although I'm 72 I still have all my own teeth and I might be more than old in body but definitely not in mind lol, I wish all the luck with your DLA gentle hugs to u xx

I had two of my teeth out, I have had more problems with them missing, wish I had kept them, how can you have tooth ache when there is no tooth. I hate this fibro, have had it 20 years my life had stopped :'(

Hi rainbowdancer this FMS affects nearly all the body doesn't it,its a bummer, I thought like you and wanted them to take all my teeth out, but the Doc said it wouldn't make any difference, and until now I wasn't sure if he was right and a few weeks ago was going to ignore what he said and get them out, but sooo glad i didn't after reading your message,but its driving me nuts, its like shooting pains and sometimes they feel like they are swollen, sounds mad doesnt it, I mean come on swollen teeth... do you or anyone else get the feeling like someone is sticking pins in you or little electric shocks

Sounds crazy but I had all mine taken out and still get fibro toothache kits nothing to do with the teeth. I do have a problem with aneasthetics the don't last during my cataract op I had to have drops every few minutes as the jab wore off and my last to teeth I had him take out live as I had had snuff he was shaking like a leaf when he was done we old ladies am tuff,,, p

in reply to Cookie72

I decided in my wisdom that other people were correct it was in my head and the pain was bad but bearable at the time so didn't take my meds it took just one day for me to be in so much pain I could not describe it. So I not so wise after all p

This is appalling.

Their benefit cut.

The damage they are causing to people mentally and physically is beyond belief.

It makes me mad as hell.

Absolutely shameful!!

I don't know where all this is going to end.
