Thanx Rosehip & Lollypop at the min im so drained from the whole thing n so very tired, and at this moment i dont think i cud go thro that again, but like you say this needs to be recognised and taken seriously all any of us want is just 1 day free from pain how wonderfull that wud be.

Hi....Ive had the dreaded letter today, to be told exactly the same thing. I wasn,t awarded one single point...My mind can't cope with what the letter says. I keep reading n reading it but its just going straight over the top of my head....The woman at the medical can't have listened to anything I said....I feel so deflated n don't know the next step to take.

Bad news Luvmybabies and Jillygee, I can empathise with you both, you probably feel like your head is going to explode and everything seems surreal.

Try not to stress too much over the weekend as there is nothing you can do now until Monday so put the letters away and on Monday do as Chris suggested and contact on of the organisations for help.

It isn't going to do you any good today to keep reading the letters over and over cos as you say, nothing is going to make sense. If you had it all over to someone who is experienced in dealing with these cases you will feel as though a weight has been lifted off your shoulders and they will do all the correspondence on your behalf.

Take heart from all the other stories that are on here, keep fighting and lets hope that together we can raise the profile of fibro so that we dont have to keep going through all this hassle.

Take care, love Angela xx
