@woodbine I have lupus but how I see it is so what I am alive I csn still do things iieaz 18 when I started to get ill I was diagnosed with all sorts of things but at 26 I was diagnosed by professor Hughes Louise Cooper unit st Thomas hospital London
I had already had a stroke and a heart attack before that I was told I wouldn't live long told me I wouldn't be able to carry a child I had 4 children by then and six miscarriages he was shocked he told me I wouldn't be able t to work
I ended up hsveing ten children two sets of twins mind I worked nearly all my life and I am 58 everything he said I couldnt do I did the corona virus has more chance of killing me off than my lupus don't get me wrong I have had carers I do struggle and I am in pain if any one asks I normsly say I have the ability to do things when I can
I said for the lady to have her xrays on her hands so she knew what was wrong and new what to expect as it is better to say that you can't use your hands properly and why you can't than say you don't know0 -

Hi everyone, may I politely add, if anyone wants to google it further, that alcoholism is a medical disorder. In some people it's a genetic predisposition to it. My son-in-law is an alcoholic. In his case, he had a gastric bypass some years ago. Losing his brother caused him to start drinking nearly 3 years ago. With his surgery he really shouldn't drink, as one glass of wine is as if he'd had 2 or 3. His problems with his alcoholism have caused our family great grief, but it's also a disorder.@lisathomas50 - most disabled people are successfully awarded PIP, but in some circumstances it may just come down to one person having a better understanding about the PIP descriptors than another....which is often where members here try to help.PIP is about your functional problems, & whilst getting an X ray to work out the problems a person might have is useful, you don't need a diagnosis, all that's needed is the exact way you have difficulty with activities of daily living &/mobility.Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. You don't need to keep on having to have the last word, nor to infer you know more, I'm hoping to say...everyone's opinion is equally valid, & we all contribute due to either knowledge, & life experiences, or both.2
