What Is Your Illness Or Who Ever You Care For

Surrobeth - sorry that you are having to wait so long.
Hope you get sorted very soon.
Perhaps a letter to a local MP will get things accelerating along - believe me it can sometimes to the trick!

Thank you. I've never written to my MP, this is the first time I've wanted to but I'm in Luton South and have Margaret Moran as my MP, I'm not sure she'd be bothered bout my grumble at the moment! PALS has been recommended so I will try them.

I became ill when my daughter was born...my balance system was attacked(by an unknown cause) and I was left disabled, unable to walk without a stick and suffering terrifying attacks of vertigo where the room spins violently around me and renders me bed bound..on good days,..I fall over to the right...and get physically exhausted with the effort of trying to stand upright

Cant go any distance alone, cant go any distance full stop really, but cant go out alone without someone with me for support. Can only get to local shop around my corner from my house where I can now work for a few hours a week but not without panicking at times.

dont want this post to come across at being depressing, but unfortunately i do have a long list. initially it started with me slipping a disc at level 3,4 in june 2003 which also made my right leg give way without warning. i evetually had a spinal fusion in november 2004. by then the disc had crumbled and the fusion did not work but i had improvement in my right leg throughout 2004 and most of 2005 i was either in hospital or in bed and when i finally got dressed or tried to none of my clothes fitted me as i had without knowing gained 3 stone. that in itself depressed me but was laready suffering severe bouts of depression and rarely left the house. then my teeth started eventually had 3 root canal filling, 4 normal fillings and had 2 teeth just fall out and now waiting to have 3 more removed in hospital all through medication am taking. i then developed arthritis in my left knee due to weight eventually reaching 8 stone and then arthritis in hips. then onto sleep apnea and trigrmenal neuralgia and on and on and on. am sure had i been a horse i would have been taken out and shot!

Can I recommend books by Doctor Claire Weekes (Self help for your nerves, Essential help for your nerves). I don't think I'm allowed to post links but if you google her name you'll find them. I had all your symptoms. I saw her on TV during a tour of the UK. I bought her books and read them over and over. They explain what is happening to you physically until it all makes sense and you can just walk away from it. PLEASE read them - they saved my life.

Hi all, I have what they term as brittle asthma, it doesnt stablilize very well also arthritis and because of the asthma I cannot take anti-inflamatorys so its just pain management. lots of allergies they change. Last time they did the skin test I even reacted to the neutrel control they decided I had become allergic to the thing they !!!!! your skin with! I have allergic rhinitis all year round which has meant twice I've had to have nasal pollyps removed and there back:mad: it has also meant that I have lost my sense of smell and taste. I also have a blood disorder that means I am prone to clotting. Life is never boring:D we adapt and carry on:D

LOL They too saved me from crawling up my hall screaming, but they did not make me any better. I had years of therapy until they washed their hands of me and said there was nothing more that could be done with me. I found Claire Weekes myself and yes, she has got me to the point I am at now. I say Float, Accept, etc like a mantra. I have her CD downloaded and play it daily but it isnt a cure for me, it's just at least given me normality in my own home.
I'm so happy it worked for you, but I dont think anything ever will cure me. I've had it far too long now. And every time I have pushed too much and tried to go alone, I end up panicking in my own home, and unable to breathe and there is nothing worse than feeling like that in your own home
