My main disability is fibromyalgia. Diagnosed in 2008 but previously told in 1997 it was myalgic encephalomyelitis. Also have osteo arthritis. Also under active thyroid and on rivaroxoban due to multiple pulmonary emboli. Also problems with migraines, vertigo ,vitamin b12 deficiency. Had to retire from NHS after 31 years service due to progressive deterioration. Retired September 2017. I have had the longest and worse flare up ever now in its 14th month. Physically and mentally I feel so I'll. I am barely mobile due to pain. My problem is that the go wants to continue to manage it himself so I am getting nowhere.
