Thank you . Hope it’s not the case as it’s the nhs who say what is lifelong not government. And it’s supposed to be how the condition affects us not what it is

Yes I read that and thought the same . But with fibromyalgia and ME we are like it every day . I think maybe they mean some conditions settle then have flare ups ?

Hi gecko , yes I read that yesterday. I think you’re referring to the mobility question. They are several questions and if you’re on lcwra you must of passed it already . I know what you mean , my ME is so bad I’m exhausted and have bad brain fog . This whole situation is draining. But at least Wes streeting is going to find the cure for fibromyalgia and ME so at least there’s that .

Oh good hopefully they find a cure for F.N.D too then thats 3 down 🤦♂️ what a bunch of clowns they are.
They think their fine after winning that seat in scotland not realising its down to 2 things 1) how bad SNP fucked up & 2) they dont trust reform as much in my opinion.
@secretsquirrel1 im probably same as you im bad everyday (infact feels like getting worse) as i think my m.e & fibro like to take turns plus you bung in my fnd & its a hell of a party. Which condition set of the other, all 3 cause brain fog its to the point i call all my daughters bab so they dont notice when i forget their names 🤣

Me like alot of other people have never been assessed for lcwra as when I moved over voullentatrlly to UC my support group status automatically puts me in the lcwra group , alot of other people being migrated over will be in that postion but keep seeing this makes me worry that the ESA support group assessment is not the same as lcwra , I was led to believe they were identical and if you always past ESA reasesmeent the lcwra would be the same
All these references to this is confusing me , are these when the changes come when the wca gets abolished in 2028 or are they in regards to the standard WCA of now .....
Im on cbesa and lcwra but no pip .... So I'm just trying to concentrate on what's Infront of me now , that being a standard reassessment for lcwra and concentrating on passing that , that should take me up to 2028 or past it , then I'll turn my attention to the new pip criteria when it takes over from the WCA
I'm going to have to take a break from here for a little while , it's just constant , all ifs and buts and guess work , complete worry from the moment you wake to the moment you go to bed , nice people on here , but this site can be a trap .… The amount of hear say and media articles that give you hope one min then bring you down 20 mins later .... The facts are none of us know what is going to happen until they debate it , once we know we then know exactly what we're up against , we're just being fed media bias from different outlets with different agendas ..... All this worry and nothing changes until we know a little bit more about it , it's making my OCD and life completely unmanageable constantly trying to read in to things , take care people , I'll have a look in when we know more on Wednesday

I’m same Danny . I’ve just migrated over to lcwra but I think it’s same form as esa. I’ve heard it is . I haven’t had a reassessment in about 7-8 years so I can’t even remember what the letter of award said .
I know what you mean one minute good news then bad news. Problem is the government aren’t giving any real details, I don’t know if that’s deliberate or they’re just making it up as they go along .0 -
Isn’t it a vicious circle? Wake up stiff and in pain due to fibromyalgia then lay in bed trying to relax muscles. Walk about a bit to relax then I’m fatigued again . I actually have it written from my past therapist to rest every 15 minutes so how can I work ?

Oh maybe, I hope so. I just don't know what to think with the way they're going, they don't seem to have any compassion at all.

Yeah it is, i wake up usually after 2-4 hours sleep (thanks insomia) to sleep paralysis which on a very bad day takes me over an hour too move. Ive only seen my consultant & took part in a fnd clinic & fnd physio but they didnt write anything, thinking of going back to gp as going downhill slowly either that or ive been crashing for the past year. Do you get the fibro pain in your chest that feels like a heart attack?

I get terrible cramps even feet . Had tests by specialist and nothing showed up . Even using tv remote can cause hands to cramp. Drs can’t find a cause to everything or the cure but thank god for Wes streeting who’s going to save us so Kendall can find us a top paying job 😀

I’m hoping it is in certain parts but it’s not in law yet so can’t be fought in court

They’re devoid of empathy the whole lot of them

No I don’t get that pain thankfully, sounds like panic attack type of pain . I can wake up with a pain anywhere and it’s there constantly for 6 months or more. Then it moves to a different place . Not to mention the all over ache and throbbing pain plus arthritis in neck causing pain . By the time you get a physio appointment the pains moved anyway. Tbh physios I’ve had have been useless. In fact last one injured me then disappeared from the practice and I never had a report or my GP . When I asked for it they questioned why I wanted to know what he’d written. It’s like carry on again Dr it’s so crazy

I hope they do vote no . Imagine Kendall’s face if she lost . I’ve even read some Labour rebels are thinking about voting for now the Tory’s are voting against. Apparently they can’t walk along with the Tory’s . They should feel privileged that anyone would want to be seen with them as Labour are the nasty party

I thought I'd post this. I follow Dr Jay Watts on X. She's a great campaigner. Good to know that there's people on our side.👍️

Thank you for sharing. I just watched disability talk with Steve. Apparently demented Kendall now wants carers to work too . There’s actually a video of her on Steve’s YouTube video so caution if you decide to watch
1 -
watched disabilitywithsteve on YouTube about Kendall wanting carers to not only care for the disabled love one or friend but to also work.
carers are heroes, the job they do is one of love and dedication, does she honestly think unpaid carers would leave the person they care for alone so they had to go out to work. It’s a full time job, a very hard job looking after someone you love and then to put this pressure of work on top of caring duties is so bloody stupid it beggars belief, she can’t know what’s it like to see someone you love slowly deteriorate in front of you while you do everything you can to look after them and she thinks work is also ok on top of all this. She must be the most callous human I’ve ever had the misfortune to come across.1 -
I honestly think there’s something very wrong with her , more than just ambitious cruel . I think she must have some personality disorder or psychopathy. And I really don’t want to offend anyone here as these conditions are serious as is all MH . But there’s such a deep rooted hatred for us that there’s surely a reason. She’s not simply passionate about her hate of us , her whole face contorts with hatred. I’ve never seen anything like it before. And on this video she just comes across as creepy frighteningly so .

I would ask to get tested for sleep apnea it is linked to sleep paralysis , I used to get it a lot , and was tested for sleep apnea and stopped breathing 40 times an hour , now I use a cpap machine and its wonderful , also it helps prevent sleep paralysis .
