Hi, my name is Ogmoose!

Ogmoose

My nickname anyway. Hi to all fellow sufferers. Reading some of your accounts makes me feel lucky. My diagnosis took less than 12 months thanks to a very switched on consultant at Stafford. At last I know I'm not nuts or a hypochondriac!

Hi @Ogmoose, and a warm welcome to the community! If we can be of any assistance, do let us know.

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome,  still need to find my way round on here. Got fibromyalgia and CFS not really sure if that counts as a real disability when I see the courage of some people it seems a bit insignificant. Not ill, not dying, just aching and sleepy!

Hi @Ogmoose, do let me know if you have any issues: our community guide may be helpful.

I believe fibromyalgia and CFS are now both recognised as disabilities- and as I'm sure you know, can massively vary in severity between different people. I have moderate ME/CFS myself and it's certainly no walk in the park!

Ogmoose

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I suffer from foot in mouth too. I meant my own levels not other sufferers. It's more of a hobble in the park then a short kip on one of the benches. Hope I don't seem a bit of a berk, having a bad day.

Not at all @Ogmoose, definitely agree it's more of a hobble! Hope the rest of the day is as bearable as possible and that tomorrow is kinder to you!

Ogmoose

Thank you
