I had been feeling relatively stable for quite some time. Then I got asked to do a LCWRA re-assessment. I was very fortunate in that after reading my evidence and questionnaire they told they had enough to just do a paper assessment. But the process of filling in the form and getting all the evidence made my health deteriorate to the point that my specialist had to increase the doses of two of the medications I'm on. Then very shortly afterwards, I was told to attend my PIP REview assessment. This was done on the phone. The person who did the assessment was lovely but still he had to do his job and ask loads of questions and I felt so re-traumatised by the assessment that I have been very unwell since then (which was about two weeks ago). I'm in excruciating pain all day every day now and have total urine incontinency, whereas these issues were nowhere near as bad prior to these assessments. My level of pain was averaging about 7 out of 10 most days before but now it's 10 out of 10. I spent most of last night screaming in pain.
Do you think these issues might calm down once my nervous system settles and it realises these assessments are over for the time being?
