as to Fms and what is the Government's plans for those of us near to retiring age and who are recieving indefinate DLA payments?
I will be 59 years of age in July and a Fms +Diabetic+Hiatus Hernia and Irritable Bowel sufferer I also suffer from Reflux and Insomnia and have had these conditions for very many years I have been in reciept of I/B + D.L.A for the last 12years how
however I do believe that as a child suffering daily from the same pains as Fms that I have had the condition from early childhood as I could not take part in any physical excersize as the pain was unbearable my teachers always thought I was lying about my symptoms and said It was growing pains and that I would grow out of them I have been in the same pain daily to this present moment I would
like to know if any of you sufferers out there have had a similar experience to mine? also How does the government treat the older generation near to retiring with regards to disallowing their benefits I would welcome some insight as to this, and eagerly await your responces.Many thanks

Hi, I am a couple of years older than you, I saw a consultant at the Pain Clinic at a nig hospital in Bristol and she told me that it was most likely I was born with FMS. Like you i hated physical education, |I was always tired. Many of the illnesses I have had over the years from birth to now she told me could all be put down to FMS.
As for how the government is going to treat us, i don't hink anyone knows as yet, I am on DLA and ESA, if the Disability act goes through I could lose my ESA next month but I won't be able to sign on as I am 61 in June but I can't draw my pension until one and one day after my 61st birthday !!! As for DLA I have looked at the new PIP questionnaire for claiming and I don't think many would get it, If we reach 65 before the changes come in then we would keep our DLA from what I have read.
