Which I was told there was no way they would bother to check me as the form was not much difernt then last year , apart from I'm on more meds and I've gone down hill and my bowel no longer works properly so I have to have it evacuated manually which is not the best thing .lol and also dew to the body shut downs I don't go anywhere without someone who knows what to do . Or I end up in an ambulance unable to see or speek ! , Yet they are comming and I'm so nervous as I'm hearing alot about people being withdrawn from it , all my money goes on things to help me ,

Hi @mega, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thank you for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry to hear about your circumstances- I have friends with chronic Lyme disease and know how easily it can be misunderstood, even by professionals. Have you considered seeing a different GP, to see if they can be any more accommodating?
There's also a great charity called Lyme Disease Action who have lots of information and resources on their website which may be worth a look, and you can also contact them here.
Do you claim any benefits at the moment? It may also be a good idea to try the online benefits calculator, to see if there's any more financial support you may be eligible for. Have a look, and do come back to us with any questions. I hope today is as kind as possible to you.
