Tinnitus
I'm finding that my Tinnitus is getting worse. I asked my GP if my meds could be doing it but she said none of them were known for it.
I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem?

Emotions
I'm having problems with my emotions and whether I should trust them or not. Alot of the time i think my meds make me feel things that I don't really feel. I've been having alot of bad side effects recently and that may be a part of it. Their also changing my meds so fast my body is just reeling trying to get used to them all and then I have to get used to not taking them. I really don't know what to do anymore. It seems like the people i should trust, my drs, are just using me as a guinea pig… read more

ESA Contribution Based Versus Income Related
Hi,
Can anyone help me regarding contribution based ESA?
I'm on this after working for 30 years. I'm noticing that a lot of the additional help out there always says it must be income related ESA. For example the warm home discount.
Are we really exempt from help because we've worked and paid national insurance?
Thanks
Jo
Oh that doesn't sound good :(
Have a look on the citizens advice website. It's very useful, apart from not telling you how to make an actual appointment to see them!

Dating
I have a question for the singles on here. Do you find dating someone new to be more trouble then it's worth? Meeting someone is hard enough but the dating and doing and hurting and being so tired makes it even harder. I dated a real nice guy for two yrs and some of the reason I broke it out off with him was because I felt I was being a burden on him. He didn't sign up for what we deal with EVERY Damn day. He was great about it but he rides with a motorcycle club and goes on long runs a lot and… read more

Help
Well things haven't been going to good here. I was down last Mon and Tue and by Wed I thought I was dying. I ended up calling 911 and went to the hospital. It looks like where I have a bulging disc I'm on a nerve!! I feel like electricity is shooting down my spine into my legs and arms. It's messing with all kinds of things, even my lips feel weird!! I go to my chiroplactor tomorrow, is not sure what he's going to do yet, he wants to see my MRI' s first. I'm also taking my new pain meds, the… read more

Telling New Manager About My Fibro
Had a new manager last week, first time I met her was after she called me to do an extra shift which I never normally do as it reduces the chances of me being off! Anyway I'd been in bed the day before and still felt terrible, I went in and was on with my super efficient colleague and I went in with fatige, pain and fibro fog! She quickly introduced herself and then was keen on getting back to work as we were launching sale the following day! Within an hour my body was crying, I felt nauseous… read more
