Flareup

In November 2023 I had a flare up it lasted 4 months I have never been the same since !!I am still working 5 days a week I work 4 or 5 hours a day, it takes me 4 and a half hours every day to get up dressed etc every morning so I get to work on time most days am not even on time .

I am struggling every day I am going to cut a day to 4 days a week it's like living in hell and I've had enough .

My friends tell me to try and claim pip to help me but my anxiety hits the roof the thought of going through the process.

If I sit down, stand up, lie down, walk ,work ,etc ,no matter what I do the pain is just the same

Sorry to hear you going through this but I am having exactly the same situation just now I am working when I can. I tried today but 1 hr and had to go home. I am on pip and it's a big help for me. So get some help to fill in the form it is well worth it
