New. Saying hello.

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in 2008. I have been coping with fibro all this time. In the last year after a lot of trauma the fibro has flared up big time. To the point of me being sensitive to sounds and loud noises and because of the trauma I now have panic attacks to deal with. I was thinking of trying for pip. My mental health is very bad at the moment so I am worried about trying for pip.

Sorry if this is a bit negative. I am trying to get help from were ever I can.

Regards.

Hello @hopeforme93

I am also looking into the possibility of applying for pip. I have typed 'pip ' into the search to see other people in the UK so I can see their experiences too. worth doing the same for you?
I can empathise with hard it is to need to fight when mentally and physically we can feel so weak.

Take a look at pip in the searches, if others have gone through it as Can get some tips. Also I hope you have a good general browse around, so much good info and support.

Btw I get some noise and bright light sensitivity. May look weird but I now use earplugs in busy areas like shops to help dull things. Works for me.
