Not sure if DLA has been changed to PIP in Northern Ireland?

Does the weakness include a feeling loose in your affected leg?

My leg feels like a slight loss of power

I have this in both legs and have a feeling my hip joint is going to pop out. Can be extremely painful too. I'm just dealing with the pain in my rib cage on the right side of my body. Do you suffer with this? Sorry I'm just going through the DLA/PIP process myself but in in England, wish I could help more.

My neck gives me a lot of pain and stiffness also all my rib cage bes affected . My arms feel so weak and my hands get very sore doing the simplest task. Also my walking gets somestimes affected and i be badly slowed up. My worst in fibro would be the absolute exhaustion where i just lay in a heap till tablets kick in a bit . I find a rare feeling in my chest while suffering this . Can anyone relate to this .

I have fibro , high blood pressure , anxiety & depression, ibs, migraine where i lost my eyesight . I take 16 tablets a day for these ailments . Dla will only give me low rate @£21 /week . After 2 reviews they will not change decision. Any information welcome.

Oh Itsme,

Sorry to hear about your DLA/pip results and your pain and ailments. It's hard to keep going sometimes but we are entitled to a 'I feel sorry for myself day' too. I wish I could wave a magic wand and help all of the fibro mites to get everything they truly deserve. Hugs and healing light ☺️
