    I have just been moved from limited to capable of work at 64 years old fighting chronic fatigue and thyroiditis fatigue.

    I am angry and upset that the job centre will not listen to what I say about how these conditions affect me and my energy levels are so low now any activity more than 20 mi utes brings on a crash.
