[feeling]

Hi i just joined the group this week.,i sure have had my eyes open to how fibro patients r treated from the health boards,n ignorant people to this illness. I have hd fibro fo over 20 years,n all the things that go with. it,depression,ibs over activity of bladder, n self harm due to the pain.I hve also hd to fight with my gp,for other test,as every thing i complained about was put down to fibro.I hve now been. diagnosed with osteo arthritis in both knees,n had torn cartlige removed from both.And also told i will need knees replaced in future,also osteo arthritis in lower bk elbow.And just had op on my shoulder ten weeks ago,due to calcafication. and I'm i total agony with that And hve a major flare up of my fibro due to stress.I have to go for an atos assessment on Tuesday n after reading a lot if lovely peoples posts.And being in recipet of high dla,n middle rate care. for over 20years.N now a good chance a total stranger can take it all away. makes me feel so ill.If i hve hd it all these years n they decided to take it away. then wat r they no saying,i hve been faking it all these years.I don't think so.I will let you know how i get ob,but i don't hold much hope up after reading the way. people are being treated from atos!

Please let me know how you get on. I just joined tonight and have my assesment next Monday. I'm also scared they will say I am fit to work but had to give up my job in Jan due to this. I struggled to get there some days and was useless when I did. I constantly forgot things and was in tears most afternoons due to the pain. I had a job sitting but when I got up I would have trouble moving. I cannot type for long or write as I have carpal tunnel in both wrists to, plus plantar fasciitis in my feet, some days I can't put my foot on the ground. Arthristis in my neck and shoulders and I'm in constant pain. The only thing that helps is CoDydromol and they knock me out, so who would employ me? But I've been told if you can sit on a chair for ten minutes, wipe your own eyes if you cry then you are fit for work. I'm sick with worry too. So any advise on who this works would be much appreciated.
