    Hi there Debbie,
    I was wondering how you were getting on. At least you now know what is wrong. ie. you have a name for your illness. I used to think it was all in my head and i was going crazy.
    Good luck with the DLA decision.
    I am here if you ever want to PM me feel free

    hiya
    i have fms had it for 10-12 years slowly progressed over the years, last year i lost my ib and lost my tribunal, so i am now having to find the energy to find a part time job, the one thing i have found to help with the exhaustion side is plain old luccazade lol.:)
    it doesn't help the pain but it makes me feel a bit more energetic for a while, although i will say the pain slightly increases at the end of the day, i take a paracetamol which helps me sleep. i also get dla but only low rate.
