I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years which has progressed to me now no longer being able to work, I have extreme pain and fatigue and feel my life no longer belongs to me. I have to have my meds put in a blister pack by the pharmacist so I don’t get mixed up. Basically I want my old life back!

I also have to have a B12 injection every 3 months and take extra vitamins and minerals!
I also had to give up a job I loved and had done 3 years on coursework after doing the job for 15 years to become a teacher -
