Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

yes canvey is not far from me.

I think i may have had it for a good few years as pain has steadily got worse but confirmed diagnosed about mid august. i didnt even know what it was. the consultant put a leaflet in my hand and said read this and then that was it. He wrote to the doctor to let him know and said the doc would call me in to have a chat and he never has.

Im in pain at mo think the sudden drop in temp dont help and i feel so tired all the time. i hate this condition Im not a benefit person and im finding myself on esa and applying for PIP after being a very active teacher for years. it is soul destroying and I am finding it very hard indeed to come to terms with it...its taking my independence from me.

Bet you wish you didnt ask now lol.

Hows yours?

(((( soft hugs)))) xxx

Hi Pebbles

I just went into Goggle and in the search bar typed GP's for Fibromyalgia in (your area) and had some come up in the search, one of the GP's Practice being my own GP he is great and understands Fibromyalgia.

I wish you luck in finding a new GP
