Hello FoggyMoggy

This was discussed on many posts on the community at the time of which you may find interesting by searching maybe using ‘debate’

Here’s one post shared by the FMAUK Chair where he answers some questions that had been posed on a few posts;

Hope you find this if interest

Thanks Emma. I see it was debated on 15th Jan but I only just saw a link on FB. I will have a look

The Hansard transcripts are another way people can access the debate if they find it quicker or easier than watching it

[Mdaisy in reply to FoggyMoggy]

Yes all links of video and transcript have been shared on multiple posts ...

Thank you for the news and to all that worked to tirelessly to make this possible. 😁

It wasn't confirmed though yet as a disabity, only discussed, so we're no further on yet, apart from it being talked about. My local MP supported it and talked about me in her speach. Still a step in the right direction though nonetheless.

My local MP is useless...

Yes I realised some time after posting it that it was a discussion to consider recognising it as a disability so I wouldn't say no further forward, but only a small step

It's not just Fibro Parsee but all the other things it's caused/causing issues with that effect us badly one being sleep.
