Hi mayrose54

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you can be today? I am so sorry but this is the first that I have heard of this. So I cannot really answer your question. Hopefully somebody on the forum will know?

All my hopes and dreams for you.

Hi mayrose,

No this is just ATOS, but should still be supported in my view.

I'll be going with my hubby tomorrow.

If you look at this link, on the right hand side of the page, it gives a list of towns where the demos are taking place.

Thanks sian Oh well time to start revising on all the paperwork. don`t want to condradict myself on something on the forms that may be different today but back again next week. you know how that goes sue :)

{{{sue}}} extra fluffies to help with the info :) Remember! not remembering things is part of the illness so make sure you state it, tactfully of course :)

Also ;) the fact that your symptoms fluctuate and cannot be gauged daily causes you a lot of distress and unable to plan things and makes you kinda unreliable!!

For instance I've missed doctor and hospital appointments through poor memory (fog) or poor mobility and pain even though I've had it written down, and god knows how many alerts :o just an example hunny :)

You've got to spell these things out to them and ask your OH to take notes throughout the assessment.

If the doctor isn't giving you time to answer tell him/her politely that they are not giving you enough time.

Shall be thinking of you :) xxx

Thank Sian but if It`s anything like seeing the benefit advisor they will be talking to one brick wall(me) while I stare at another :P

Moral support to all those who go. I'd love to myself but. . . :(

Hehe that came out as "oral support" - was that me or the tripe writer?

How about a barricade of fluffies?

in reply tofenbadger

Well I fluffie Extroadinnaire would love to go to Market square tomorrow and protest but have an appointment with the podiatrist. My OH and I are thinking if I'm not too exhausted we may go afterwards :) Our friends are going so sending our niggles with them :) xx

I would go after pip med but of cause atos B`ham inaccesible to the disabled. have to use a taxi or get some one to drop us and then pick as up later can`t be done today.,,,,I`ll be thinking of those who go sue
