Nice to meet you

KiaZ

Hello, I'm not new to this site & especially not new to the world of disability, but I am new to this community. 
It's actually really nice to have found that scope has this it. 

Like many it seems from a quick glance on here, I would like to make new friends, although my conditions may make this quite difficult. 
But it would be nice to not feel so alone anyway. 

Anyway, nice to meet you all 

KiaZ

Thank you so... much Pam. 
If anyone wants to talk please do message me. I've no idea if there is a way on here but if there is, it would be nice to hear from people. Especially if they have information on ways to find local groups or anything to connect. 

Thanks again Pam

Hi @Kiaz - & welcome to the community, which I think you'll already have seen is friendly & supportive.

Your local council may have links to different local groups, & you can also search here: https://www.ableize.com/disabled-groups-and-clubs-by-county/

Your GP surgery may also be able to help, tho I'm not sure how well this may be running since the start of the pandemic. You'd need to ask about 'social prescribing'; some info here: https://patient.info/news-and-features/what-is-social-prescribing

If all else fails, you'll have to put up with us all

Thank you so.... much. Sorry that I'm probably very late responding. 
I've had a pretty bad energy crash recently. So it's so nice to come on here and see such support. 
Thankfully I have a gp appointment coming up soon so I could actually mention this! I've never heard of it. 
And thank you so much for the link! 

Again, I'm so glad I found the community 🥰

There's no need to apologise at all @kiaz You're welcome to pop in for a chat whenever you feel up to it!

I'm glad that you found chiaried's post helpful. I hope that your upcoming appointment goes well. 

How are your energy levels today?

KiaZ

🥰 thank you! 

Today's been really bad for energy. I woke up feeling completely sedated. Managed drag myself out if bed to do the bear minimum and then kept falling into a heavy sleep which is not like me as I actually struggle with sleep (which is part of the reason I'm needing to speak to the doctor). 

Feeling better that the sedated feeling has passed now through & so have been able to sit up in bed and come on here. 

Really want to make some coffee but yesterday I stupidly somehow managed to burn myself so I'm not even sure if that's a good idea, especially because I'm especially tired today. 

I've made a poll 🙂 I don't know if you'll be able to see it, but if you can would love for your input! 🥰

Thanks again for message!

Could a family member perhaps make you a coffee @kiaz?

I'm sorry to hear that you burnt yourself yesterday. It's easily done. How's the burn doing? Make sure you keep it clean.

I'll take a look at your poll this afternoon
