I have Fibromyalga after being hit on the head at work, pain is so awful I cry when my hair is brushed, or washed.
Arthritis has set in my hands, gradually travelling down my body.
Currently have a swollen thumb. 
Hate  not working, need employment at home and a place suitable and affordable for my needs.
Feeling trapped!

    Hi

    Sorry to hear how you are feeling, do you think networking with people with the same condition might help?

    Hi 

    So sorry you feel like this, I cant imagine how you feel, (ignore people who pretend they do!) I've grown up with a disability and I'm not afraid to say it sucks-you get 'why me' days and that's ok but then wake up the next day and focus on what you can do, what you enjoy, what you love and makes you smile-never look back or compare

    I just wish that the Government and people in General understood you can not compete with other people. I would love to be able to repair my home, and afford a holiday. My husband died in 1998 in may, no holiday since. It's such a struggle to financially stay afloat.
