I see youtubers who vlog with other illnesses. I find them inforative and uplifting most of the time. And here is a new documentary coming out from a person with chronic phatigue syndrome. Would you have found it useful? Whould you find it intregueing? Would you find it usful now?
Yes
I recently June 2023 got my claim from March 2022 assessed thanks to the help of my local Tory MP and I've been awarded the enhanced rate for both care and mobility and am looking into getting a mobility car. They've given it to me until 1st June 2033 and backdated the higher awards to March 2022. Does anyone have a mobility car and know what this £750 is for as I'm confused by it all.
I am constantly bumping into walls and furniture. I read the side effects of fibro and I'm wondering if anyone else has this?
Hahaha yes! My legs are covered on bruises
I was moved into a downstairs flat on 6th April 2021 so far all we seem to be getting are monthly statements sent to the occupier, nobody has ever been around to do readings as both boxes accessable. I tried calling, emailing and writing to them to no avail we even opened a complaint all of which has been ignored. I tried the ombudsman but they returned it all to Utilita Energy as they hadn't replied to anything. I'm still waiting how do I find out if someone is paying this as each year I lose… read more

Over the past few months I have had increasingly painful jabs in my hand. Sometimes I can’t even open my hand enough to open a door with a door knob. Is this common? If so, what should I do?
I have neuropathy, osteoarthritis, and gout in both hands. The gout is unbearable leaving me unable to use my hands. I pray you do not have it.
Can I please call on your wealth of experience and knowledge when I ask you what natural supplements do you take? I already take magnesium, vit B & evening primrose but I am thinking more about exploring and trying others. I don't know if this is the best approach to take, but I reckon if anyone can/will give me honesty in their answers, it's all of you. Right now I am open to all suggestions about supplements (I shall be exploring therapies another time, fairy steps). Thank you x
Taking Fibroprin Biotene, Magnesium & Tumeric, Vitamin D 5000 iu, Centrum Silver Vitamin
I have been clumsy. From spraining my foot, to stepping in holes, to easy to loose my balance. Anyone else have this issue???
always been clumsy, I have always bumped into things and stumbled and missed a step going downstairs and dropping things and just everything. And the only time my balance didn't suck is when I was in… read more
That sucks!
Assessor also insisted that I could stand for 20 seconds even though I now use a wheelchair indoors and out. Also insisted that my bedroom is 20 seconds away from my bathroom without having seen my flat. Is this another way to stop use getting what we are entitled too!
Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this as so confused.
hi they do but you have to do it on your worst day fingers cross
