FIBROMYALGIA SUFFERS was created by bijay
It has been highlighted at a recent assessment that my wife failed the parameter of being able to travel to a destination unaided (real terminology may well be different) unable to follow a specified route the drugs that have been approved clearly state that the side effects are confusion lack of concentration i would like to point out to other people with this horrible disease look at the the side effects in black and white simply stating fibromyalgia fog is not enough but the drug company state clearly what the effects are so please read the literature with your medication it may well help.

Does this mean ghat fibro fog isnt enought to be awarded points for certain descriptors?

But the medication leaflet is ?

As the pharmaceutical company state clearly on the med box that it causes confusion and concentration problems.

S basicly one would say... i take bla bla bla for my fibromyalgia, and due to side effects ...please see my medication side effects list. as this causes me fibro fog?

Then in saying that ..it should clear things up with the assessor / or DM :)

MrF

I think that bijay is suggesting that including leaflets from your medication may help to show that someone has cognitive problems from the conditions and medication. Unfortunately the DWP have a narrow view of these issues and tend to lump cognitive problems under the headings of brain injury and learning difficulties.
