Hi Sam's friend.

I find it amazing how you managed to stumble upon here by accident. I find it even more amazing how you happened to 'stumble' on Sam's username and password.

As if those two things weren't AMAZING enough - I'm awestruck that you and Sam share exactly the same writing styles - right down to writing 'I'm' as 'Im', which is really quite rare.

Not that I have to justify myself to you but I found this thread because Sams computer was on and on this page, she stays logged in it seems. She had mentioned to me that she had found this thread and everyone had been friendly and supportive. Though judging by the response it seems there are a lot of 2 faced people on here. I posted because I thought people would want to know.
As for writing styles I had no idea they were similar and I am sure other people have a similar style but I am not sad enough to trawl through looking. Im (oh dear I mean I'm) assuming you are accusing me of lying, although I dont know why, so surely I would make sure I posted differently.
Im flattered that you joined just to insult me but I don't know why you couldnt use your usual user name.
I will not post any further updates and if by some miracle sam comes through this I will be telling her the thread she thought was so supportive does not actually give a stuff.

Losing weight is so hard though. And while I’m pleased with what I’ve done, I’ve still a very long way to go. I couldn’t take the appetite suppressants as I was on anti-depressants, but I gave up on those so may ask to try them again.

I think constant pressure doesn’t help. Sometimes I think we’ve got more important things to think about than our weight, you know? But good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

You have done brilliantly to lose so much weight. My GP complained about my weight and when I told him that three of the meds I take cause weight gain he looked them up and then just said, 'oh, yeah'. He is a family friend so he knows we only eat healthily!

Hi, Im sams friend. I stumbled across here by accident. Sam is in hospital after going into status epilepticus last night. No one realised she had hit her head as they were trying to treat the status. She is currently having surgery to remove a clot and stop the bleeding and at the moment her chances of survival arent good.

Thanks for posting at such a stressful time. I am thinking of her and hope and pray everything goes well.

I hope Sam is okay - please keep us posted if you can! We do worry about the cafe members (what ever you might think - okay most of us do!)

Fingerless gloves - M&S have some long ones in Cashmere!

I don't think that's very fair... just (possibly yesterday?) a few days ago Sam was reassured by several people that we wanted her to stay and join in on this thread if she wanted to after she was worried that she didn't qualify to post because she "just" had epilepsy- her words not mine. One person said something, and presumably had their reasons, but that does not mean that none of us care. MSE logs me out every couple of hours, but maybe that's not the case on everyones computer, and I hope that Sam is ok, I don't understand why, if you're intentions are good, you are being so defensive, but that's my opinion on you, Sam's friend, and not Sam, I do truly hope that she's ok.

Also, I actually came on here to say that after what seemed like a very long 4 months I've won my Incapacity benefit appeal, without going to tribunal, which my Advocate at A4U/DIAL said was very unlikely! I'm so so happy, and my backpayment will pay for my automatic car when I'm up to finishing my driving lessons (hopefully beginning of 2011/end of 2010) The letter says I'll be subject to a PCA in 12 months (presumably from June when benefit was stopped wrongly) but I'm hoping that next time they'll not fill the report with lies, I won it this time, and I'm willing to go through all this appeal crap again!!

That's brilliant! I am one of the lucky ones on DLA and incapacity benefit. I don't think I could deal with being rejected and the whole appeal process. So I am really impressed by anyone who does so. Well done!
