Housing problems with FMD

[LEEJUNFAN]

Hi to you all!

Have any of you with FMD who maybe living in a flat tried to get a Bungalow

on health grounds?

We've tried everything, had my medical priority highered, Neurologist and GP letters sent off and even appealed twice with help from my local MP but all to

no avail.

I find the noise that we put up with,

even neighbours closing windows,

can trigger my symptoms off.

A Bungalow would give me a sense of

peace and quiet that I need because I could sit out in a garden which I find

therapeutic.

Has anyone tried getting one from

their local housing association?

It's terribly frustrating.

Sorry to go on.

Thank you everyone.

Best Wishes

Hi there!

Feel so sorry for you both.

Have you appealed or had medical letters sent to

your Housing?

I really wish you both

all the very best.

All these stupid rules really

get me frustrated.

Kind regards.

Are u on all home swapper sites x

[LEEJUNFAN in reply to Missclc]

We're on the bidding system which is a joke.

Bidded for places we should of got but didn't.

Priorities for homeless and domestic abuse sometimes play

a part.

Financial funding for Bungalows isn't good.

Hi Lilly!

I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles in

trying to get property for yourselves.

Have you tried getting Social Services

on board to help you both?

You could also ask your GP to assist you in dealing with the Council.

You're entitled to help.

Maybe you could also request letters from your Neurologist and Mental Health team.

See if your local MP has a clinic where you can visit for an interview.

He will have staff who will write down all your issues and they will send him all the relevant information.

It's annoying because the system doesn't make it easy for people.

Keep on trying although I do appreciate how frustrating it is for you both.

You could also try contacting

your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

Please let me know how you go on.

Best Wishes Lilly to you both.

I don't have any suggestions to help you because I live in the US, but I can relate to the noise factor. I have struggled my entire life to understand my sensitivity when it seems like others have no problem with living in a society that seems to require an excessive level of noise at all times. I have read about"The Highly Sensitive Individual." I know that I am such a person. I believe this maybe a precipitating factor in the onset of this disorder. The inability to tolerate, process too much incoming; which includes bright lights, noise levels, chemicals/neuro-toxins, vaccines, flu shots, and all that everyone is now being so readily exposed to in our daily lives. As a holistically trained health practitioner, my training and research has resulted in finding documentation to support this way of thinking.

I accept my sensitivities, even though it has made life more challenging. Education of the public, medical community is important as well as for others. The individuals who are seemingly unaware of the effects of what all now live with, are of concern to me. Although they may not be aware of the effects/stress on their bodies, it is still have an impact.

Thank you for the opportunity to present this information.

Positive energy to all.
