Hey Gillingham, I am in Shotley Gate and would like to meet up if you want. I have had this for over 20years and have too many tablets to try one-upmanship about meds. I would rather talk about anything other than illnesses. A cuppa and a chat is what I really need. I have no friends since I finished work, even though 5 ex colleagues live in my road. I can use the car and meet up anywhere. If you are interested just let me know, soft hugs, Julie

Thank you but still not brave enough! I'm told by doing that my file goes on hold until I'm found a new support/social worker. This can take some time and effect the case that is being worked on?

Can you report her to her supervisor for her behavior or that she is not a good fit for you.? Around by me its easy to get a different social worker with one complaint, especially if you're on government assistance. Good luck. Many well wishes.
