Have you ever heard of "Life of Fred" or LOF.
We took our granddaughter out of school because of bullying. She has FM, anxiety, and is dyslexic. Public school was a terrible fit for her.
Fibromyalgia /PIP/ Disability Classification UK
Hi, Technically this is 2 questions but they are interlinked so I thought I'd ask them together x
I am already on P.I.P because of my Disc Degeneration, but now I've been diagnosed with FM as well, should I try to get my award updated or leave it till my review next year. (I don't want to end up losing what I already have)
Part 2 Has FM been classified yet in the UK as a long term disability? I know it has in America and Northern Ireland but not sure about here.

ADP is for people living in Scotland, if you're already claiming PIP in Scotland then you'll be transferred over. PIP is about how your health conditions affect your ability to carry out various… read more

Has Anyone Heard A Good Explanation Of Why You Can Have A Really Emotional Day And It Takes Two Days After That Day For The FMS To Flare?
I took my dog to the emergency vet. Scared the Holy Ghost out of me. Two days later I was in a flare. The dog is doing well. I am not doing so well. Why did it take two days later for the FMS to flare? Why doesn't flare right away?
Dear @A MyFibroTeam Member
Glad your dog is better. Why oh why does it take 2 days from event to flare? My guess is that maybe the body goes into a protective state for 2-3 days after the event.… read more

Devonlady, when you describe burning eyes would it also be like leaving a thick coat of mascara on over night? That's how I've been describing mine.

Elavil - Amitryptine Stopped Working
I started taking amitriptyline a year ago, it worked wonders for 10 months then just one day it stopped working. I double the dose but still no luck... wondered if anyone else had similar experience? Any recommendations of similar meds to take instead?

Can Anyone Share Their Pain Clinic Experience In The UK?
Hi All, just wondering if anyone has come across a Pain Clinic or Support group for Fibromyalgia in the UK or in particular Leeds? I am just fitting the piece of the puzzle now, I have been living with FMS for a very long time. I am getting so frustrated with the lack of support from medical professionals and people who claim to be a support group but I am still waiting for their call, having started inquiry 6 months ago. I have been now discharged from Rheumatology, and I don't think that was… read more
