Hi I have just been diagnosed on Wednesday after 10 years. At least I know now I have a condition not just plain crazy.😳 also under threat of redundancy and it's a very stressful time . Out campaigning for hours on my days off to help save our jobs (but in reality will still lose out) I will be penalised coz I was off for 3.5 months with Stress and uncontrollable blood pressure and the worrying is making me suffer more. 😢

Still feeling sorry for myself as I don't think it has quite sunk in yet tomorrow I go to doctor to start pain management

Sorry to hear you have so much stress it does not help.

Gentle hug and welcome
