Hi Shazzad,

Welcome to a great group. Sorry you have fibro and other problems too though.

I have osteoarthritis, Fibro, an underactive thyroid, Restless Legs and IBS too.

Feel like a real hypocondriach when I say them all together - and I can't spell hypo-wotsit either lol.

Hey Sue,

Snap i have an under active thyroid, IBS, the works! and like you felt like a hypo-wotsit visiting the doctors, just been dismissed from my job under the capabilities procedures.....such a relief, no longer unreliable! currently exploring the benefit world, not much fun

Oooh no Shazzad, that worries me. I'd love to be able to stop working but daren't as I don't think I'd have enough to live on. As you've been dismissed though, that's a different kettle of fish isn't it. Can they do that to you?

Shazzad, did they get rid of you due to the disability? Have they given you the rigt amt of pay for dismissing you?...sorry for being nosey!!

I am really sad for you, however by not working it may give you some relief. I know that money will cause you stress, however heres hoping for a brighter future for you. xx

Hi Shazzard Welcome to the group fairly new myself a great bunch and you will find a wealth of information some laughs along the way, and nice that you feel you can help to cheer others up on a bad day!

I also have underactive thyroid IBS and a load of other stuff as it seems does everyone on here that is the nature of fibro sadly.

Hope you manage to get all the help you need re the benefits should have thought you would be OK as having been dismissed but not an area I know much about but I sure you will get plenty of advice.

Take care Hugs Ruby xx

Hi. Welcome to this brilliant group. I thought I was a raging hypochondriac or was losing my mind until I joined this group to find out so many other people had the same thing. It’s good to share the good things and get support when you’re struggling x
