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.

Thanks for your advice x

Have you ever heard of "Life of Fred" or LOF.

I would like to come off Duloxetine what side effects have any members had and how long did it take

Has anyone here tried TMS or transcranial magnetic stimulation? I am thinking about trying it and wanted to know if anyone here had any thoughts.
Thanks!! Hope everyone is doing well = )

How have you and yours handled all of this?

I remember when I was growing up..I had all the symptoms..of Fibro..when I would get cold..I would hurt so bad..sometimes I would cry..( was called a drama queen)..also I would forget everything ( was called a space case )..sometimes I couldn't go to sleep all night and would wonder why people had to sleep?...also was called ( a bull in a china shop) ( because I would drop things or walk into things...my question is does anyone remember having all these symptoms growing up?

I have been doing some reading about the Paleo Diet and wondered if anyone has tried this way of eating to help fibro pain. I need to lose weight and I thought if I tried to eat Paleo food, it might help my symptoms and weight loss might just be a side effect! I'm anxious to hear from anyone that has tried this!
