Thanks for the heads up, will record and watch later. Is 'newsline' something regional, we get BBC South West at 6.30 pm on BBC 1 ?

[Jonesbones in reply to Hayesider]

Newsline is a Northern Ireland program on searching BBC website.

[Hidden in reply to Jonesbones]

Well we get english news on bbc 1 aswell. They go between the 2 n.ireland news and english news

[Jonesbones in reply to Hidden]

After news at six we get regional news with local area items.

It's not on in Scotland, shame as I would have watched it xx

[Hidden]

It would be 101 on sky tv where use all watch eastenders lol

[Ladygelf]

Thanks for the Hidden , I'll set a reminder to download it on sky catch-up.

For those who don't have sky tv - it should hopefully be available on all BBCiplayer catchup e.g freesat, freeview, etc.

Its about time Fibromyalgia is highlighted and taken more serisouly.

Blessings to all. xx

Ahh nice one Hidden I will definitely watch that. I think there seems to be a little bit more media coverage than ever before and they are finding out little things with the research, big breakthrough I think was, they can actually see a difference in a part of the brain in people that have Fibro. So yes, all good

Thanx for sharing (DLA watch out) that's all I've got to say lol..

Luv Jan x

This is only showing in NI because NI is only just acknowledging fibro. It's been acknowledged and recognised as a chronic condition by the NHS etc on the mainland for some time.

[naturalnikki]

I live in the states. So I can't watch it.

But at least it is on and the info is spreading.

I feel maybe we should rename it. Because when people hear fibromyalgia they just shut down.

I worked at a pizza place for a short period after having my oldest several years back. I was trying to describe labor pains to a group of teenagers. And threw in a mention of my fibromyalgia. The most out spoken guy said, I thought that wasn't real and was just an excuse for drugs. He said it in such a curious and non insinuating way. I explained that it is very painful and that I don't take any drugs. That it was very real. He just kind of ok'd before we all got back to work. But it was nice. Whether he believed me or not.

I just feel the name has a stigma. I would rather call it Global Unexplained Pain with Other Ailments. just rolls off the tongue doesn't it. or GUPOA

sorry I was having too much fun with that.
