Story
As a high end spectrum sufferer of Fibromyalgia, CFS, and Lupus sle.
These conditions are life changing, and even fatal.
I am researching all autoimmune conditions with the full support of my GP, and the research will be delivered to the MIneral Hospital Bath, which is the centre of excellence for these conditions,and openly admit they have no Idea what causes these conditions, they just treat the symptoms. It can take an aeon to be diagnosed, so I am writing a paper for the medics,and also fellow sufferers.
I have been bed bound for 7 years, before this I ran my own business as a PR Consultant, I want to help other to get the medication and diagnosis earlier as the longer you have to wait for a Diagnosis the higher up the spectrum your conditions will be.
I hope you can help me by donating to this crucial research, it is as much needed as cancer research,as the NHS seem to know very little about this area of medicine and do not spend money on research.

7 years agoAn update for you. I have contacted another research team in the USA, lead by a consultant in autoimmune disorders, and they have shared with me that FM does scar the brain, as MS causes lesions FM does a similar thing. Why aren't UK patients getting a brain scan as a first course of action when they present with these very debilitating conditions, I have let my medical team know and it is now being passed to the centre of excellence in the UK, as I want their feedback on why this is not available to us on the NHS.

7 years agoThank you for your support, I am now collecting data from real people all over the world who suffer, and because of slow diagnosis are bedbound, and one husband wrote in to say by the time his wife was diagnosed the Lupus had already stared organ damage and she sadly passed away the week after she was diagnosed after years of living in bed . If she had the Medical team with the awareness and aptitude to think outside the box, she would still be a live today. Fact and is written in her records.I myself have lost both my knee caps already
