Fibro Babes is starting to feel like a pin cushion. More blood tests yesterday. The GP can't give me steroids due the high usage over the years. I can't take NSAIDS due to the asthma. He has such a difficult job! He has referred me to a specialist as an urgent case. I can't get an appointment until 10th May. I can't afford to go private. I am waiting for an X-ray. My foot is bright red and swollen. I must keep positive! However, at times this is difficult due to pain and lack of mobility. It is also frustrating when you know your Fibro is not being treated as you can't tolerate the drugs. We know there are other options out there; but PCT's won't fund! How many of us are not getting the treatment we need! I have to to say if they started taking fibromyalgia more seriously maybe less people would be on benefits and would have a better quality of life!

Jemima would like to know why there are not more treatment options for fibromyalgia?
