Hi all. I have lupus with all the usual symptoms, lethargy, fatigue, aches and pains, itchy permanent rashes and so on
Just been told I am diabetic and have none alcoholic fatty liver disease. I also suffer from dry eyes with blurred vision and have an appointment soon at the lipids clinic. I have quite recently had to have my gall bladder out, unsure if this is connected.
My memory is such that it causes me great distress. I only leave the house to make appointments because I am sensitive to ultra violet
I have gone from a fit and able boddied person to a wreck in five short years and to top all that I feel that I am fighting a lost cause with the benefits system who to be quite frank hav'nt got a damn clue.

Sounds like you have been through the mill and back, hope you are now on a good path of even if you dont go out much you are not alone and someone will read your post and know what you are going through...... The benefit system is being over hawled over shall we saw messed about so most of us are pulling our hair out, im going to tribunal in 5 weeks for failing the so called assessment but im still signed of sick by gp and got docs letter which all seem to not matter... hay ho thats life but im going to fight because we will have to sell our house because bills going up and we bought it with two incomes not one. Hope your appoints work out and give you some good news for a change.
