OS ways and Poor Health

Once more sorry for typos and lack of punctuation in my last post . I think faster than I type so the next sentence is my head too soon :rotfl:

It's lovely to see you Curly Top . I'm sorry to hear about the eye problems but pleased you're in good hands . Is that the team at the Royal ? As a child I used to attend the old Moorfields Eye hospital near Exchange station which later relocated to the Royal .

Glad you're getting good use from the travel pass it was worth overcoming your reluctance to apply .

It's odd you should mention " Support Group " dd and I were at the Pharmacy on Wednesday to collect 110 Zomorph capsules and 3 other meds they had been short of the previous Friday .
The usual waiting while they tried to find a Pharmacist for the great unlocking of the cupboard ceremony for the Zomorph happened . We sat down eventually as our backs and legs were protesting .
A woman was sitting next me examining a Boots digital Tens machine which sparked our interest , I'm sure many will recognise that .

We started chatting and she had been loaned another brand for a short period to try out by the local pain clinic and was considering this cheaper version . We chattered a while about the clinic and she mentioned the Dr in charge a renowned expert and in our experience an excellent clinical lead . She tore him to shreds verbally along with pretty one every other staff member .
We were willing a Pharmacist to unlock the cupboard so we could exit stage left .

She started telling us of the wonders of the support group and how she was worse than the other members . She was urging both of us to join in when thankfully the cavalry arrived and we escaped .

Do think about applying for PIP . I'd be the last to say it's stress free after dds transfer from DLA swiftly followed by the ESA assessment . A fair number of us here have gone through the process either on our own or someone elses behalf and will help you as you go through the steps .

I have noticed big increases in food , utilties and other living costs so worth thinking about that extra money .

I do agree on the No Judgement comment . That was my initial aim starting the thread . They can stay under the bridge or join like minded individuals elsewhere plenty of places on the internet for that .

My mum used to say " If you can't say something nice , don't say anything at all " Someone once wrote a song with that title but their name escapes me It will pop into my head sometime later .

Wolfy I missed the bit about the Tai Chi in your post . I did think of you AOT and some others when I ordered it and wondered if it would be helpful . I wont say never but at present anything involving much more than plodding on , sitting or lying down is a challenge beyond me so this seemed worth a try .

I'll report back . BTW if anyone has used one of the Boots Tens Machines ( Digital Version ) I'd be interested in your feedback .
No reviews at all online . DD is hoping to test the pain clinic one on loan but I think there will be a long waiting list . They use a very expensive one so out of our price range I think .

Well I've waffled on and on . Take care and stay warm all.
