Sorry to hear that you've been feeling worse, I can't offer any advice about any treatment as I don't know anything! I would imagine physio would help and having that extra person offering you some consideration and care might give you a boost.

Let us know how you get on and good luck

Raj. What is pip. Mary

Oh! Bet it's a nightmare to fill out. Perhaps someone at the Citizen Advice could help. Mary

Hi Raj, sound as though you are getting good care, stay with it once the flare has been controlled things will get a little better. glad you have applied for PIP and hope you have a good out come from it.
