Have you tried Freecycle for white goods? They pop up fairly frequently on there, in my area at least, so might same you some time/money?

The problem is we have nowhere to store anything. Our house is beyond tiny. So even if we see total bargains/free stuff now - we can't get it.

That means we will almost have to move before we can order/look for things. We have family members with three bedroom houses (both only using the one bedroom) AND a dining room - and we've hinted until we're blue in the face about our storage issue, but nooo. There is no point asking direct, as they would have offered if they'd allow it.

As for the DLA I know what you mean. I have a horrible feeling I'll have to re-effing-apply soon...:o And they turned me down for mobility last year and I daren't reappy/appeal against it cos sometimes it's just more than you can handle innit.:cool:

Aw, that sucks. It just feels like them saying 'you don't deserve it' or it's not bad enough, doesn't it? But it's not true - and on paper I believe I meet the criteria for middle rates, at least. It's not fair people feel like they can't apply/appeal because of the stress.

Just watched another programme about the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami....with real life footage from survivors and their cameras... I'm now wondering if maybe I shouldn't've done... too many memories.

I'm sorry. How awful it must be.

Forgot to mention - that house I'm looking at? I had a raging migraine the one day in the next month that the landlady could come up from London, so bad I was stuck in bed and could barely move at all. So I can't meet up with her and sign any papers until the start of February, which is kind of a pain because the council need the papers to transfer my HB. X_X;

Oh no, that sucks. I hope it doesn't delay things.

Thanks for the info about TMJ - just looked it up and saw the magic words inflamed connective tissue - seeing as I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, that fits exactly. I will mention it to doc next time I go to put on list of symptoms.

Struggling to wake today so will come back later when I've woken properly.

I womder if I could ask Fibros/Lupites etc if they have ever suffered from jaw pain and clicking. It's been really bad today and I think is the source of my headache too.
It's making eating so painful and tiring.

Looks like you've had a few replies to this, but yes I also get it. I'd always put it down to damage when I had my jaw broken in 1983, but it sounds like it could be to do with lupus also. It can be so bad as to make me swear if it clicks while I'm eating.

Awww, BZ it must be hard when you've lost someone; most folks see it as a piece of recent history, but it must be so painful for you to see. (((HUG)))

Aw, no!! What a bummer.:( Hope you can get it all sorted out.

Fellow Crocks, I raise my glass of champagne (virtual, don't worry, I'm not drinking at this time of day in RL) and wish you all a happy, peaceful and pain-free 2010.:beer: <---- nearest thing to a champagne smiley.:D

Hi to everyone who is new.

Have been lurking for a while.

Hugs to all.

I wish I had seen this yesterday. I have terrible jaw pain and sometimes I feel like I have toothache but don't really. It can also cause awful neuralgia pains like eating ice. DH has to wake me sometimes to tell me I am clicking my jaw otherwise by morning I am in agony.

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope next year is good for you all.

JAzzabelle keep up with the fight i know its hard. I had appeal twice and with the help of my doctors and a care worker i was moved from my thrid storey flat to a ground floor house via council! I think some of us are feeling the Christmas/new year blues, i was coping fine up until a few days ago and now this coldweather and ice just isnt helping my bones at all! So sorry to ramble a little but i had to voice lol

Hope everyone has a happy new year when it arrives anyway

Cxxxx

Don't know if this will help but I have Lupus/ MCTD/fibro but my sis told me she also had incredible jaw pain and was advised to stop drinking any thing with caffeine. I stopped all caffiene and my jaw pain has gone. Other pain is still there - fingers,elbows,knees,feet and chest but the jaw pain has gone.
Bit tipsy - but sincere
