Hi all,
I have been struggling to get a diagnosis for an inflammatory arthritis and I have now been told by my GP that I have Fibromyalgia as no inflammation was found in my spine.
I have had a lumbar fusion 5 years ago, my recent MRI showed damage to C6 in my neck, 3 bone spurs in the thoracic region.
Bloods show positive Rheumatoid factor, raised inflammatory markers I was anaemic, I have Reynauds Disease also.
I lost my job in July due to my problems.
We are not managing as a family. I thought I could get ESA as I get standard rate PIP but I'm not sure.
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you so much. 😓
