Hello to everyone in the community, I suffer with fibromyalgia, IBS and asthma. I work full time but sometimes i find it a struggle getting up in a morning and sometimes I just need someone to talk to even if it is online. I would also like to know if there are any benefits I could claim such as a mobility badge. Everyone enjoy the rest of their easter.
