Hi, I was wondering if the site has any one from the uk answering or asking questions? I have looked through dfferent questions/symptoms. I find that the names of drugs that are recommended are under different names to mine. I would also like to ask if anybody knows about Dissability living allowance in the UK....?

Yes Tracy, I live in England. I dont know if you have other people who have replied to you yet. I do know about DLA and how to negotiate this crappy system. basic advice: dont apply on your own - get a Welfare Rights or Disability Advice centre to support you. you wont manage on your own !!

Hi Kat. Nice to hear from you. I get Dla due to being agoraphobic, I am on lower rate. I wanted to know if it is worth me appealing to see if they allow an increase due to me having fms. I am in constant pain I live on my own really as my children have grown and gone their own way, so I have to rely on people to help me.Do you have fms? Do you know much about it? Hope to hear from you again Tracy

Hi Tracey just to let you know that I use this site from the UK,(Hi Kat from UK ) I am struggling to carry on with my job at the moment and am going to find some info on dla, and to see if there is any kind of help available.Im not very hopeful, Will let you know How I get on. I must admit not knowing where to start, do you feel the same?I feel able to carry on working, but feel I need to reduce my hours, but basically cannot afford to.I often wonder if this is a problem other fms sufferers face?
