Hello Jitandra,

I hope you are not feeling too bad today.

I was wondering if you are able to appeal the decision and if so, whether you can ask your doctor to help you with the application as he will have much more information regarding the affects of your condition and medications.

Do you have any other conditions as well? If so, make sure you highlight them in your appeal as well as how they impact on your Fibro and general wellbeing such as anxiety, Fibro fog/confusion or side effects of meds.

If you are turned down again, you may need to contact your local Councillor or MP for help.

I hope thing turn in your favour.

Stay Strong and Stay Positive.

Fight the Fibro!

I have been suffering for years. During all my trips before I was diagnosed, I did not work (too sick) and I just wanted answers. WHY was this happening to me, how can I get better, WHY won't I get better.. Now, it is 2014, and I work when I can. Very very debilitating. I applied for disability, and was DENIED due to the fact that I stopped working then. Prior to my sickness, I worked for 15 years full time teaching. It doesn't count. It's now, not then. UGH... If anyone tells you this does not affect the rest of your life, they are sadly mistaken. I'm here for you... Good luck!!
