This post is to say that social services ,mental Health,GP, specialistists,

if like myself you ain't getting help , I am not going over and over my ,and today another knock back social services ,I'm feeling like I don't wanna feel , but I'm asking them all to assess the situation and do it now you sit on this chair and be me experience what I fear in isolation ,More serious issue is they can walk away when ur left in sh.. ,

I have to live with me a have to be with me in a constant fear of myself I don't want to do in haste repent at leisure , with me ADHD mentally .

Not everyone gets crap treatment it's not even the at as I'm drained and despare every day,

But I do no that they also are overworked and under paid !

Oh how i know how you feel. I have no complaints with my hepatologist or the hospital but my god is it a struggle these days to even get a ring back from your doctor.. worst still assesment from occupational therapist as my mobility is not good and where i live now is not suitable due to all the steps outside and the fact i am living next to utter ##### heads dont help 😂

in reply to Millie09

How do you cope with your mobility. I really struggle with having fibromyalgia and also collapsed arches in my feet!! Coping with my liver is bad enough without everything else too. I have to keep smiling, I know there are people worse than me. Hope you feel better soon xxxx

Hi lynne, my daughter hasfibromyalgia shes 37 and has 3 children. She has good and bad days...

I have late stage osteopenia in the hip with abnormal bone growth around it ..also degeneration sclerosis of the bone in my hip.. waiting for results of double mri scan. I cant take any pain killers other than paracetamol which do not work so i use heat packs or hot water bottle. The only way i can manage it is not to do much.

I cant lift heavy items.i have home delivery too. It gets me down and i can so feel what you are going through 😕. I now have a walking stick and getting in a bath is impossible as i cant get out. Besides that my back and lower region has lost all muscle so it really hurts to lie down .i just get on day by day .. not much i can do untill it gets that bad i will need hip replacement... aa if we dont have enough to deal with already.. try to think positive lynne..i know how hard it is but every day i wake i am thankful

Love linda xxx

Wow ! So we both see the consultant on 25th !! .. well i dont think much can be done with arthritis , the only reason i am going is due to my hip and now two prolapsed discs.

Sleep derivation is awful. I am still awake at 5am watching tv in the living room .bet my electricity and gas bills will be high lol.

We all seem to have the same issues faithful..so your not on your own .hope things improve. Love linda xx
