cwta I had a dream last night that I stumbled across two Hospital Specialists who had about 8 of us together with similar problems and promised us that they would not stop testing until they got to the bottom of things and we were all referred to specialists who would help us.
Now if it would just become real .......


that referred us to more specialists

i sat crying in doctors (years ago ) saying fed up with him and wanted more tests and would not go to, he did them and found out what was wrong with me...it worked i was sent for every thing and i changed doctors to nice one who understand and runs clinic at hospital for similar stuff :T

this quote thing just can't get it !

Am up early as builders coming in a min to finish new gate/fence in back garden. Getting up was a real struggle - yesterday I went back to bed for the afternoon.

Got letter from DVLA to renew photo for driving license. They say you have to do it and then charge you through the nose for it!

oooo just been on the phone to scottish power, my electric supplier..

some useful telephone numbers for you guys and gals....

Home heat helpline 0800 33 66 99 start by ringing these ppl who deal with all electricity/gas supplies, who then ring your supplier and talk to them before passing you through.

i don't get a reduction in my heating bills because i am under 60, but they have put me on the vulnerable list, just boils down to wavering costs of changing meters or something ( i told her to put it in writing as i knew i would forget) but i would get a winter rebate and not the benefit one either.. this is Scottish power one, on top of the benefit one.

if you try the number and you are not successful this is the benefits fuel direct line to try too 0800 88 22 00.

I thought i would share that with you, as i didnt even know about the fuel direct line.

Laid awake all last night, despite having taken some valerian, got up this morning in time for Mr LW to help me bathe and dress before he went to work, plonked meself down on the sofa, and that's the last I knew til about 10:30.:( It's getting to be a regular thing, and is getting me down big time.

Good luck for everyone's appointments - Uinty sounds like you have quite a week on with various things. I so hope that bruising dies down and that the relief finaly kicked in.

GP says it looks like a really bad tattoo :rotfl:. I think it looks more like a Rorschach Ink blot test - but if I say what it looks like it will probably give you untold insights into my character :eek:.

We must have posted at the same time - great minds think alike eh? - must be the Pagan in us . I can't believe it's only 19 days to Mabon - seems only weeks since Beltane doesn't it. I don't know about you, but I've only recently found that looking at the year in terms of the festivals helps with the depression. Although I dread Samhain in some ways , I know it won't be long until Yule and then Imbolc :T.

When my sleep pattern gets all out of sync I find it helps to take Zimovane/Zopiclone for maybe three or four nights in succession - just to 'regulate my clock'. Mind you, no matter what time I get up - I still feel like I need a nap by the afternoon. Yesterday I didn't get one with having to go to the GP's, so by 9.15 p.m. I was falling asleep. DH was upstairs on the main PC so there was no one to keep waking me up hence I must have re-wound 'Ghost Whisperer' at least four times before I managed to stay awake to the end.

Must get to bed early tonight as I have to be at the glaucoma clinic for my yearly check at 9.35 a.m. tomorrow. This isn't quite as bad as Friday though, when we need to be at a hospital in the next town for 7.45 a.m for DS's knee op :eek:.

Hi Paparika - I just read the weekly MSE email and hope you have seen this bit:-

Warning! Did you cap with Scottish Power last summer? Switch NOW to avoid costly locked-in tariff!
Last summer, to beat the ensuing 30% plus price hikes, 100,000s capped... one of the big tariffs was Scottish Power's Fixed Price Energy 2009. If you've got it, it finished on Mon (31 Aug). Act now. It's already shifted you to a new year-long capped tariff, and unless you switch before the end of Sept it'll lock you in with an exit penalty. Yet there are cheaper tariffs elsewhere, including caps if you want one. Is this legal? We're investigating whether it's allowed to lock you in by default, meanwhile the best plan is just avoid it, so do a ...Capped comparison. Most comparison sites only use your capped rate to compare, but more important is the rate the cap goes to. Energyhelpline* incorporates the new rate too (& gives £15 cashback via this link). FULL info & explanation in the Cap Guide: Switching from a cap. Main Guide: Cheapest Gas & Elec plus cashback

It may not apply to you - but thought it worth a mention - just in case.
