I’m sorry, I am just feeling so alone and the constant pain every day does take its toll on me. Very emotional and I apologise for writing such things.

Well said. Yes. I've just switched off the news and put on Dr Who. Trouble is the Daleks seem quite reasonable in comparison. lol. I'm only kidding. But yes, best to wait and see and avoid leaks and rumours.

"The net result is likely to be significant changes to Personal Independence Payments, aiming to reduce eligibility for the highest levels of payments, especially among those of working age with mental illness."

Oh that made me laugh re 🐄 🤣. There is a scientific reason for that, I guarantee I'll get a migraine from a storm (too windy) or a thunderstorm too. I can't remember the name of it but it's a change in the air/wind pressure affects my blood pressure. I normally would be able to explain this without trouble 🙄 it's a wonder I don't get a migraine from my eye rolling.
I was mistakenly diagnosed with coeliac disease 2 years ago, went on a very expensive gluten free diet for two months then told its not coeliac.
I'm on the BRAT diet too often than is good for my mind (banana, rice, apple sauce and dried toast) and have done many fasts (24 to 36 hrs).
I hope you do not have to wait too long for your intolerance testing.

According to the Serbian press, as I recall, USAID and MI6 tried to implement this practice in their interests in the elections in Serbia and Russia to weaken the positions of the ruling parties. You invented the wheel).

Epilepsy
Diabetes (T1)
Underactive Thyroid
Pernicious Anaemia
Anosmia

I want to work but majority of days I just need to recharge from the little activity I did the day or days before. It causes me to sleep in the day too

I’m sorry for posting this in case it’s upsetting for people to read — it’s not anything we don’t already know, but it might be helpful to read it directly from the source and not from out of context quotes elsewhere.
Labour MP David Williams, referencing his constituent who was "badly let down by a flawed PIP assessment", asks what steps will be taken to ensure people are treated with fairness and dignity, and given the support they need.
Kendall says treating people with dignity and respect is at "the heart of the government's plans".
She adds that she regularly meets disabled people who are denied the chance of work.
"That is what we want to put right, to make sure that the social security system is there for those who need it - not just now, but for years to come," she adds.
She adds that she regularly meets disabled people who are denied the chance of work.ITS NOT ABOUT WORK!? ITS ABOUT PIP. PIP IS NOT AN OUT OF WORK BENEFIT. Is she genuinely stupid???

but Kendall’s the the dwp minster isn’t she ? How can she not play a part in the green paper? So what someone from reeves or starmers office leak information to the itv and the guardian but don’t tell Kendall. Right now my brain fogs bad and this stress is making it worse but so maybe I getting this wrong. It’s like streeting also denied knowledge of the cuts .

Green Party MP Sian Berry says the government's "active trailing of welfare cuts has generated genuine fear".
She asks if Kendall will apologise for this and reassure the public that benefit changes will not take place this year.
Labour MP Stephen Timms, responds, saying he recognises that there has been a "good deal of anxiety".
"I regret that that has occurred," he says, adding that the proposals will soon become clear and that he thinks Berry will welcome them.
So he can’t even say sorry?How can they live with themselves?
Edited: he also said he’s “concerned” and “sad” — well that’s okay then! 🙄

Starmer may be a human rights lawyer, but he does not give a **** about upholding human rights. The way his governemnt are enabling abuse against disabled people, trans people, Muslims, Palestinians in Gaza and many other demographics shows this.
He also knows most people believe that all politicians are bad, so can take advantage of that erroneous logic.

I was told was someone that it’s called seasonal headaches and is accepted in Europe but uk not so much . I say cow but my nan always said I am a witch 🧙, not in a nasty way but everything stops working when I touch it . I’ve been ok for quite some time now but it’s usually when I get a lot of electric shocks . No idea what’s it’s about mind you .

In Scotland the SNP.. I’m less about the referendum but they are left of centre. Our policies here are markedly different.. abolished the two child limit, no prescription charges,ADP run by Scottish govt as alternative to PIP..I voted for SNP all my life because of Nicola( she let us down).. so voted for Starmer. Wrong wrong decision. Scotland brings 3 times the money that Northern Ireland brings to the UK and 4 times the amount that Wales brings.. next to London we are next in providing resources to UK.. so let us administrate our OWN UC! We already do our own ADP/PIP…What’s the hold up Starmer/ Reeves? Is it because a two tier system would highlight the ongoing UK abuse of the disabled as they are being treated more fairly in Scotland?
