What i am mad about is that when i was just dx with fibro i couldnt get dla and only had my gp to rely on. Well now i have multiple dx with one being ME and i have so much help and support now. I have a lady comming to help with dla forms, i have a physiotherapsit and allsorts.
Fibro is just as bad as ME but there just deosnt seem to be all that help with it.
Sorry just had to say it as even though i am getting help its only because of my ME and not fibro.
hugs, kel xxxx
yeah that is all wrong isnt it why is that why are we not listened to and taken seroisly ? i am by my GP she is fantastic she really is so i am luckier than some but i am still having to apply for dla in may bet i wont get it but i will jus keep re applying until we are all heard we must stand up well creak up and shout out our case !!lol that felt good perhaps i should get a box to stand on love to you diddle x
Haha, you would be good standing on a box, i could just imagine you standing on it shouting for us lol xxxx
Ask Butterfly what she thinks about that Kel. She has Sjorgrens and wants THAT to be on the top of her medical records, not fibro. As we all know, those people at the DLA place don't seem to believe fibro exists - apart from in our heads maybe.
Speak soon,
hugs Sue xxx

This site is such a bad influence on me lol xxxx

Hi jamjam, welcome to the group.
Could you see a different GP in your practice? Maybe another would be more sympathetic.
Have a good look around here, there are some really interesting blogs and questions and answers.
You don't have to feel alone now......
Hugs Sue xx
I have ME, not Fibromylgia, but run a support group for both conditions. My experience has been that GPs recognise Fibromylgia more than ME and there is more support for Fibro sufferers. It must vary around the country, I suppose, but I've never had any support for my ME and lost my SDA three years ago.

HI karen,
I am sorry you dont get any support and especially no money, You are right, it must vary from county to county.
It seems like in cumbria that it is ME that people understand and fibro is unheard of.
Thats good you run support groups, there are no support groups near me unfortunatly as i would love to attend them.
take care, kel xxx
Still Getting There
ESA.....I need help to write to my MP
hiya i am a newbie to the site =D
