    There is hope

    Thank you for reminding us (myself and fellow forum members) that there is hope for positive change for fibromyalgia sufferers. Sometimes I need to hear a success (in my opinion) story to keep up my optimism.:giggle:

    Amino acids have nearly done away with my fibromyalgia

    I'm really glad to hear you found some relief, and you shared it with us. It gives me some hope that there's something out there that may help. You're right that anything that makes you feel LESS WORSE is a good thing.

    Quick question please?

    You certainly have enough conditions to qualify in Canada but in the UK I don't know. A quick call to an employment lawyer should give you a direct answer. I'm sure your friends mean well but get the disability requirements and regulations right so you can be accepted the first time. I hope...
