Hi, I live in the city centre, managing to hold down a full time teaching job and would not be able to cope without my partner, he is very supportive, I've only been diagnosed for about a year but obviously I realise this is long term so trying to accept what I've got but know I now have to learn to self manage this. I was on tramadol and amytriptylene but I gave it up as I got fed up with it. So obviously still in a lot of pain but trying to find a different way of coping . All everyone talks about on fibro forums Is all the medication they're on, not really seen anything about people trying to deal with it through healthy food, lifestyle changes etc... Sorry I'm terribly boring after a day at school! What's your story?

I live near Leicester. At the moment I am going through the final diagnosis stages for prostrate cancer - hopefully not serious. I understood there was a group which met up regularly in the city and I remember whenI went to the pain clinic at the L.R.I.(Dr Collis) there were quite a lot of other patients around with fibro.

Hi Julie. I am new to this site so please be patient with me! I am from the Coalville area, and have been trying to find a group I can get in touch with? I have been in touch with the Ashby Me and Fibromyalgia group. But due to illness they havent set a meeting date! But once I find out I will post it on here! I have today been to the LRI to see consultant in Pain Clinic, there I asked for a Vit D test to find what my levels are like? I was told I cannot have this test done there, I have to ask my own GP. Also my Gp sent me there as to get a letter from them to do for my DLA appeal also my ESA, but again when I asked was told to see my own GP! I have been fighting the Benefits system now for 3years. Feeling so poorly most of the time just makes me wonder if I have the energy to fight this anymore!! Family have told me I must keep fighting to help make my life a better place to be!
