    Questioning my ability to judge pain levels

    There probably isnt an answer to this, but in the past few weeks I am almost starting to think I cant possibly be in the constant state of pain, and also of my feelings of the depth of pain.

But this was a new GP and after taking a look at my crazy health conditions and the meds I am on he was asking if I...

    Meditation stupid question time

    Official classification of fibromyalgia in the UK

    Hi does anyone in the UK know how fibromyalgia is classified by either law or the NHS? I read conflicting reports from different sources and whilst it appears to be agreed it is a recognised chronic condition, does anyone know if if is actually classed as an actual disability? I have found...

    Sorry..

    See what a stupidly bad day I am having? Just totally hijacked someone's unconnected thread when I should have posted it under a new tile. Apologies. It anyone better tech minded than me can transfer my looooong rant from Back Pay to here I would be grateful. Don't want to mess up someone's...

    Bad Day

    Good to have a place to moan. I am having a particularly bad day. I try hard to live as best and as optimistically with the 24 hr a day pain and stiffness. today my brain fog was so bad I could not work out how to use the kitchen taps. So I ended up scalding my hand with very hot water. And my...
