I have had MYALGICENCEPHAMALITS since 1992. I was a single mum and was desperately I'll - social services supported me and helped me go through several appeals for benefits. The struggle was awful but we succeeded . I am now having to do it all over again . Chronic pain and mental anguish but I am determined to stand up and be counted.
