Feeling trapped
I have Fibromyalga after being hit on the head at work, pain is so awful I cry when my hair is brushed, or washed.
Arthritis has set in my hands, gradually travelling down my body.
Currently have a swollen thumb.
Hate not working, need employment at home and a place suitable and affordable for my needs.

Hi
Sorry to hear how you are feeling, do you think networking with people with the same condition might help?

So sorry you feel like this, I cant imagine how you feel, (ignore people who pretend they do!) I've grown up with a disability and I'm not afraid to say it sucks-you get 'why me' days and that's ok but then wake up the next day and focus on what you can do, what you enjoy, what you love and makes you smile-never look back or compare
Have you asked for an assesment of your needs. They will be able to suggest ideas and help with your situation.
