    Hi @EveD :) Welcome to our community. @chiarieds has already done a good job of showing a good place to get to know others here.

    I totally get the lurking for a while before contributing, I tend to do that before I fully join a new community. I like to get a feel for it before I just dive in. 

    I hope you're doing well, any topics you're particularly interested in?

    Hi all.  I've not checked or too much on here yet but I'm going to pop in and out more.  I'm the same as a few of you.  I live alone.  Is there anyone in here with fibro and osteoarthritis? Horrible combination! Am still waiting for final decision.  Just hoping and crossing everything I can cross its the last hurdle... for more anyway. 
    Keeping crossed for everyone else and hoping for some positive news for you all. I 😊

    Hi EveD, yes I have Fibro and osteoarthritis.  Just also been told I have Lupus and could have had for years 🙄.  Getting the diagnoses took years for me.  I pray you get your final answer soon 🙏 sending you a big hug x

    @Ianforde01 I don't have epilepsy, but wanted to say it would be best to give your GP or consultant a ring, just so they know and see if they can help :)

    @Hanna_scope . Thanks I have done I'm on anticonvulsants but still get fits . Have seen the neurologist.  It's just a query to see if there are others who get intense migraines and stiffness in the neck and leg muscles after a fit.
