Hi have not been on for a while, the person i am going to talk about has N.E.A.D they are still the same the attacks she has been this way now for eight years, she was diagnosed last year with joint hypermobility, which does not help when she twists during seizures, this has done more than usual damage to her joints, she has now also been told she has fybromyalgia ( chronic widespread pain and fatigue ) she is in constant pain, tired, even to the touch of her skin it is painful, now we have been told for the past how many years N.E.A.D is all in your mind you do not come to any harm and there are no long term effects to having it so someone please tell me why the pain, why the damage to joints muscles nerves, is that all in your head as well, and all they can offer are medication to make you pain free but a zombie like state, physio which you can not do because of pain and talking, talking about how your pain makes you feel, how not having a social life is, and not sleeping, and how people in general do not understand, its just one big vicious circle you can not get out of....
