Been very ill with Fibro, Raynauds, Arthritis, Vitamin D deficiency, stomach tumours, depression and the rest. Not made easier because been fighting to get DLA back for two yrs. Been bed bound for most of last 3 yrs because my body freezes up and hands become like marble and unusable through winter months and not much better through our cold summers. Felt suicidal often but have children to consider. I struggle to walk and have disabiltiy aids put in my flat. Got a disability toilet because I got stuck on toilet cos of intense pain in hip. How can they say I am not disabled. Mentally going under. Not helping today that its so cold and I got a long dark lonely winter to look forward to. I cannot afford the bills to keep my electric blanket on 24/7 which without I would have died before now. Rant over. Love to you all.

Wish me luck because if not successful tomorrow will have to go through it again and again til i win. x
