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

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

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

How have you and yours handled all of this?

Helps with pain helps me sleep

I have been monitoring my sleep since boxing day 2018 and have found on average I achieve 45min- 1h15min a night, an 1hr REM and the rest is diffused through mostly light sleep and waking on average. However if I nap I can achieve up to 3hrs of deep sleep. Im not sure if this is medications but I was an insomniac as early as grade 9 or 10. And i was always a light sleeper. I ask because I would like to know if this is more then just medications. I wish to how we all sleep if they do just blame… read more

Just wondering if anyone has tried this as a natural alternative

I am aware that nutmeg has a mildly sedative effect but have been reading that if you take 1/4 teaspoonful mixed in honey before bedtime will help you sleep better

I remember as a kid my grandmother would give me it in warm milk before bed when I stayed with her. It was her bedtime ritual.

Tho was reading that taking to much in one go, more than a teaspoonful in one go, it can cause hallucinations
