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,
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! -
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!

Thank you
