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.

Does anyone here homeschool.. How does it go, do you use an online program or books.

How have you and yours handled all of this?

I’m sure a lot of you have tried dietary changes in attempts to alleviate your suffering. What connections have you been able to make between your food and fibro symptoms? Or perhaps certain supplements help or hurt? Please share.

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?
