Hello every one. if you were wondering where is @thespiceman . Have not seen him for a while.
Have been ill. Have had a stomach bug which has effected me for a week.
As I use this forum as my support. Helps me. Mentally as I live alone.
All started me buying some fish from a supermarket. I am a clean and hygienic . Good at what I do even me has lapses.
All I know been ill for a week. Not very pleasant.
Also had to do an on line shop, unfortunately could not eat any of it so had to throw half the fridge away.
Due to sell by dates.
I am on the mend.
Have also been to the Doctors. On some new medication. For anxiety so that is helping me and the dose is going to be increased.
Hoping to get back need to share.
Offer what I can to those like myself once again. Being supportive. Understand this has additional problems of making me realise how vulnerable I am.
When ill. Having this forum the only support.
Thank you all.
Take care.

Hello @Adrian_Scope Thank you will be OK. Just one of those things.
I will as said be taking it easy but this has given me an opportunity to look at everything I eat.
Have taken in consideration everything.
That has happened the week just gone.
Went on line and back looking at slow cookers. A good idea and a practical one.
It makes you think of changing . New ways and ideas, recipes.
I am aware of my own health needs.
Take care.

Sorry to hear ..you were ill spiceman ..nothing much worse than a tummy bug....it knocks you for six .
Get better soon my friend
oh , i had my face to face (with Capita )appointment a week past on monday. ( in my owm home)The lady doing the assessment was very nice indeed , down to earth , i was pleased that she came when i was struggling to breath and was using my nebuliser over that weekend and on through the monday up until wednesday or thursday . She said i could wait up to 8 weeks for the results of the assessment .
Thanks to you spiceman ...and everyone who gave advice on the assessment and what to expect .
I joined another site called "benefits and work"...their advice was also invaluable . They sent me a newsletter saying that PIP " new claims " were sitting at 50% ....a bit low i would say but that,s their policy.
The 'lady' taking over as secretary of the DWP has voted 52 times in favour of benefit cuts in the past few years ...so we cannot expect much to be in our favour when claiming PIP i would say .
Get well soon spiceman ?0 -

Hello @Chloe_Scope Thank you my friend doing OK taking it easy.
One day at a time.
Had a bit of wake up call. Suddenly realised getting older and realised how vulnerable I am. Only support is this forum.
Enough said about me.

Hello @Chloe_Scope @Deb_Scope Thank you very much for kind words and support.
I know this forum regard as a friend a place to come to . If I need anything or need to chat or talk.
As I have done many times over.
My thoughts are always with others like my self. Wondering how they all cope and deal with issues today and every day.
I hope if they ever found themselves like my self. Use this forum for a voice a friend.
Some one to listen to. We all need that sometimes.
No one ever realises how illness how ever it is minor. Can effect your mental state and well being.
Thank you once again given me the opportunity to talk how I am.
There always be some where to discuss and debate how those of us in this situation.
Take care.
