Care or no care
I've been without carers for some time now (my choice), but slowly its dawned on me i am making my life much more difficult due to my innate stubbornness. I've now reluctantly decided its time to request Social Services restart my care package. Why change my mind about accepting care? Well i've been trying to shower and…

Doctors appointments
Just out of curiosity how many of you find it easy to get an appointment with your gp and who is struggling? Ours still only permit 15 slots in a day, a rush for the phones by 8.30am,more often than not you miss it. And they are ring backs,not full appointments with your gp face to face.No more phoning and booking a slot…

My life now, never thought it would happen
Hi. I'm Steph. When I was a teenager, I absolutely thought that, at best, in the future, I'd be living in a flat with a carer. I believed that that would be my life. Man, was I wrong…. It wasn't because I thought that I couldn't do it, i just didn't even consider it because, unfortunately, society told me that it wouldn't…

Cinderella – resilient or too good to be true?
I am wondering about the story of Cinderella with her toxic family members treating her like a slave and yet she is upbeat. I remember from the Disney version that she sings along while mopping the floor. Is this resilience, to be hopeful despite all the things thrown at her? For me it feels like the story (and this…

Diaphragm breathing
Does anyone else spend time doing this?? I've been trying to get different areas of my health seen to (with mixed results!!) and my physio showed me diaphragm breating to practice and said it's really useful for many things, I think my cardiologist has mentioned it before too as apparently it can help with a lot! But…

Abbreviations confusion
Can someone in authority post all abbreviations of what people are putting on here, because most of the time it just adds to confusion of what people are on about. And make it a stcky post so it doesn't vanish down the line.

Things you don’t realise were inaccessible until they become accessible
Although it’s only 40 miles from me, London has always felt out of bounds to me, like a big chunk of the country “written off” in my mind, because I can’t use public transport I had to go there last year, and I didn’t have a choice or alternative, so I drove in with my parents for support I’d heard a lot about driving in…

Home visits, taken off the list
Hi, for a long time, I think since 2014 I was on the home visit list for my GP. Earlier this year, my GP surgery was deliberately awkrawd when I requested a home appointment from my GP (whilst still on the list), the receptionist just stayed silent when I asked. When I pushed a bit more she wouldnt book it. Then under…

What in life do you enjoy?
I am interested to know what others enjoy in life. As it seems to me that even people who are healthy and are financially stable to some degree and have family relationships are having issues,problems and uncertainty.

Recovering from Christmas! 🎄
Hello all, Does anyone else try to do all the things over Christmas and then pay for it in January? My husband is getting irritated that I'm so tired but we basically had 12 days of non-stop socialising, travelling and visiting people. I find it hard to explain how tiring I find it all even though it's enjoyable. I have MS…

And since the move we were forced to have a smart meter installed,and everyday since the readings are wrong. We can use £8.50 one day and on looking on their website it says we've £12.50. Then during the week we will see…
