Hi @annette79, welcome to the community!  
How long were you a maternity nurse for? My 11-year-old daughter is adamant that's what she wants to be when she's older!

I am in constant pain from Fibromyalgia and have ended up in a wheelchair due to fractures in back that doctors can do nothing for my medication  is doing nothing for me either.

Hi @Annette79

Many thanks ??

Yes I have ended up in the same mess going from a healthy adult to a wheelchair user 24/7.

The Meds that I am talking are at max with very very little effect nowadays.

My daughter is currently in her first year at University training to be a Midwife.

How are you today??

Hi annette79 I have osteo arthritis and cervical spondylosis amongst other things. I am in a lot of pain and struggle to walk a lot of the time. I am currently waiting to see if I have ms. I was told a while ago it was me but now I am seeing a different doctor and he is not sure as there is such a lot of symptoms that are similar in both me and ms.
