Fibromyalgia /PIP/ Disability Classification UK
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

What Do You Do To Make The Holidays Easier?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know I have simplified our holiday traditions. I don't go out of the house much and I am very weak so I don't put up a lot of decorations. I don't rush around worrying about things to wear to holiday parties. It is just too cold here and I am always in too much pain. I just stay at home and I have a few friends that stop by to see me instead. I usually put up a tree but I want to get a smaller tree so I can decorate it easier without having to reach as much. I used to have a 9 ft tree… read more

Has Anyone Who Has Fibromyalgia Had A Sleep Apnea Test Done
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

When I went to My Dr. to start the process of whether I have Fibromyalgia or not She ordered blood work right away but then she wants me to go for a sleep apnea evaluation why this test, Has anyone ever had this test for Fibromyalgia?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I found a question and answer on Google that just doesn't make sense to me. First I read that it may be different in different people,, meaning (?} that it could be autoimmune. Then it says Fibro is not autoimmune, which I thought it is. So, here's Google's answer.

Is fibromyalgia autoimmune or neurological?

They may be different in different people. Current research suggests involvement of the nervous system, particularly the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Fibromyalgia is… read more

Trouble Accepting Diagnosis

I pray that I don't offend any person at all with this question. I've been diagnosed 2 months ago in the horrible flare up that I have totally out of the blue. Btw I'm still in that flare up of excruciating pain and exhaustion. Okay here's the question and plz don't get mad. Did any of you have issues with accepting your diagnosis because of thoughts that there's no way this could be just fibromyalgia because I hurt too bad for it to be fibromyalgia? I didn't have any knowledge at all about… read more
