    Give DebsGB a hug

      Yes I do have a hard time with it myself and I believe that it comes with other people not believing in me I think I used to belong to the disease of the week club, and I sometimes feel like I brought this on myself. It's my own fault!
      for being such a f***-up. I don't know my way around a wet paper bag let alone what it's like to take care of myself, I can survive just don't no how to live. I moved back to where my kids are thinking I could help them Ha ha! and I am more miserable than ever. I have acid reflux, ulcers, IBS. panic attacks, PTSD that cmes from some really ugly stuff. Someone asked me who the guy was that did this and for the life of me I can''t tell you his name. We dated for 9 months before the night of terror. The only thing I can tell you is that when I am hit ever in a joking manner, I give bruises, didn't mean too just reacted! Bam! Grandson hit me and wham I smacked him. Never felt so guilty in my life. Yes I wonder if I'm really sick and then reading what I just wrote I know that I am indeed a real sick lady .

      Oh God. The IB50. Tell me about it.
      Is it your first one, to start getting incapacity?
      The questions are so stupid aren't they? Can you pick a 2p up with your left hand on a Friday or have you got no hand? Can you walk 27.23 metres or 25.5 metres?

      If you want any advice please ask, I found it really hard filling in that form because of the lack of suitable choices for the answers to the ?s and said so on the back of the form.
      I just ended up adding lots of stuff in the boxes and saying 'I ticked this box but...'.
      As you prob know, it's all to do with adding up points for the answers you give, there are guides to this on the net. Also they might ask you how you got to the appointment (the one where you see a doc who inputs stuff on computer after you've sent your form off). I got a taxi that day, and I get the impression from something I read somewhere that you get more points for that than if you got bus, if you see what I mean - think they mark you down as more capable if you get bus.
      I'm still struggling loads with it all, hate going the docs cos I've been so much in last couple of years and have gone right off docs. I've had a sore breast for a while and think there is a small hard lump in there which I found this morn but can't find now and I'm scared to go to docs cos of recent experiences and thinking they think I'm a nutter! Which is silly I suppose.
      Got my 1st review for incapacity coming up in April and it's so hard cos you're meant to tell them about changes but if I did that I'd be ringing or writing to them all the bloody time. Some things are maybe a bit different or better than they were but then again some, like IBS, are much worse.
      I find it hard to know what is normal and what is me after the last 2 years in this particular limbo......
      Anyway big hug and please write to vent or whatever whenever you want.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      Joined a health spa and find this helps when I get stressed or if my muscles have tensed up too much.
      Heat Working / Worked
      but only temporary relief
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      More a distraction from the pain then a pain reliever
      Pilates Working / Worked
      I found a Pilates instructor who specialises in small max 6 classes and tailors the exercises to your needs and abilities on a week by week basis. Although doing the exercises and stretches is painful it has helped reduce the background myofacial pain by about 30 50.
