    Hi @annette79, welcome to the community! :) 
    How long were you a maternity nurse for? My 11-year-old daughter is adamant that's what she wants to be when she's older!

    I am in constant pain from Fibromyalgia and have ended up in a wheelchair due to fractures in back that doctors can do nothing for my medication  is doing nothing for me either.

    Hi @Annette79

    Many thanks ??

    Yes I have ended up in the same mess going from a healthy adult to a wheelchair user 24/7.

    The Meds that I am talking are at max with very very little effect nowadays.

    My daughter is currently in her first year at University training to be a Midwife.

    How are you today??

    Hi annette79 I have osteo arthritis and cervical spondylosis amongst other things. I am in a lot of pain and struggle to walk a lot of the time. I am currently waiting to see if I have ms. I was told a while ago it was me but now I am seeing a different doctor and he is not sure as there is such a lot of symptoms that are similar in both me and ms.
