There is little you can do about idiots who think they know your body better than you. With chronic pain it can be easy to concentrate on that aspect than what else is happening, or so I have found. Sleep, or lack of it, can have a huge impact, have you asked your doctor to refer you to the sleep clinic?
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
There is a CAB site that helps you to fill out PIP forms very specifically, question by question.
What point are you at in the PIP process?
