Hi I'm New to this group. Just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I also have cervical spondylosis. I have constant pain all over my body and constant headaches. I have flare ups about every six weeks which means I need to stay in bed for at least two days. I work for the nhs and my manager tried to put me on a stage one for my sickness which is basically a discipline but I appealed against this and won pending my diagnosis. Hopefully now they might be more understanding to my situation and appreciate the effort I make everyday to stay in work. Nice to find I'm not alone and there are other people who understand my situation

Hi Lynn, welcome to the group. I also work for the NHS, or should I say worked for them. My managers have been great with me throughout my illnesses. I also have a cyst on my spine that's required 3 lots of surgeries so far. Unfortunately, because I'd been off for a year, ending up on no pay, they had to terminate my contract on the grounds of ill health. I was pleased that they put into writing that it no way reflected my excellent work record. I feel your pain too as I also am in constant pain. You take care and feel free to talk anytime you want to Hun.
