    i never asked to be dignosed with HMSyndrom there is a diffenrence from being double joint incase you didnt no !!!! btw i went becase doctor was concerned over my knees and the pain i have suffered from a childhood accident i didnt even no it existed before 2 years ago i really dont like your attuide this isnt a fashion accessory iam sure if this was athrists you would think differntly and not something i want to have i wouldnt wish the pain i have on my worst enermy taking 4 hours to go food shoping in pain isnt my idea of fun and i wish i had my life back to go out clubing and having fun with my mates like any other 24 year old i cant wear lovely high heels i adore i live in flats because i can walk that little bit better in them if i could take a pill for all of my health issues to go away i would in a second 2 years ago i could do all of this

    so dont say iam making this up i have medical everdance i dont discriminate against and conditions you have so dont with me

    and fight for his claim he sounds like he has needs and pain and no kid deserves that i no myslef x

    I am HMS and thats why I mentioned one high marker in the scale, knees bending backwards, the name you were given for your knee pain means...... knee pain and nothing else and certainly not a proper diagnosis.

    Disabilities are like everything else and have fashions, you look at disability forums and everyone is asking about the "in" things that are in the news or that they wikied, if you dont like my attitude you dont have a clue about claiming DLA and the DWP attitude:rotfl:

    Your 4 hours to shop dosnt mean diddly squat for DLA high rate mobility and neither does anything else in your posts, I tried to help you get the evidence that you need for your appeal.

    Self pity at not being able to wear fashonable shoes wont go far with the DWP for your DLA appeal, evidence only is needed from medical profesionals involved in your care are needed but you dont seem to have any.

    Is this letter available and current and something the same doctor will confirm for your DLA appeal then?

    Of course everything ok, forgive me for helping since thats not the reason you have posted here.:T

    You dont have a clue and you dont have the evidence for HRMC.

    I pointed you in the right direction but you believe that someone you havnt met before will just say give her HRMC, it dosnt happen and the doc you see will never have seen you before and from your posts the small print "diagnosis" is mislade, pray is more of a use to you.

    No GP help,
    no consultant help maybe but unlikely,
    internet pages as proof of condition,

    Disabled ?

    A letter from 2008 isnt worth anything to a DLA claim today without follow up documentation, get reassessed and try to apply for a supersession, you risk your current award and it may stay the same, go up or be lost depending on the evidence that you supply along with the suppersession paperwork.

    I gave you the advice you need earlier in this thread, get every bit of support evidence you can from everyone involved in your care for the past 12 months because thats what counts.

    Ash4Becks, you already have your own thread, this one is about HunnyBugs1's son's claim... As Sunnyone said, your inability to go clubbing and not being able to wear high shoes doesn't matter, DWP don't care about that, and I imagine they'd say the fact that you are able to walk for 4 hours contradicts that you were in that much pain... Anyway, if you want more advice (you've already been given what you need!) then I suggest you post it on the thread you already made about this, where you were given some very useful advice.

    I do however dispute your "fashionable illness" claim Sunnyone, I have ME, and I don't feel very fashionable! The stigma attached to it is horrible and makes an already nasty illness even worse. I'm 18 and use a wheelchair everytime I leave the house and I'd do anything to be well again, no illness that means that people suffer is fashionable in my opinion! :)

    i was just saying its hard not to do what you did before if being 6, 18, or 24 fair enough was commenting because it was the same condtion over the little lad so fair enough will be on my own thread now

    Invasion i agree over the fashinable stament 100%

    We see people here all the time that have read about illnesses and think that they have them, it widespread across the internet and with everyone having the same access to dodgy information on the web some people think themselves ill and my GP calls these people "the ones with the "in" conditions" because she sees so many of them everyweek.

    Bipolar is very popular ATM because some "stars" have it, my mind thinks along with you Invasion, how can anyone want to be ill?

    These people dont have a clue about the pain, stigma and other problems that go along with the illness that they want, they dont understand disability at all but think its easy to get disability benefits because next doors dogs step mother has a free car, no bills to pay and shed loads of cash while being fit enough to go on holiday 5 times ayear and do the great noth run.:rotfl:

    the internet also has the opposite effect in that some people like us have found whats wrong with them and the information has led to diagnosis and treatment, it cuts both ways but the ones who want the fasionable illness far outweigh the people who are helped.

    You do make a very good point Sunnyone, the amount of people who try to diagnose themselves with things like ME and FMS, HMS is shocking... I left another internet forum because I was sick to death of people asking if they could have "CFS" because they'd been tired for a month.... No love, that's a virus ;)

    And yes, the jealousy that comes along with it is so odd, and I can't for the life of me understand it... I have had "friends" who've made comments about me being on benefits, as if it's a choice, and how lucky I am to be able to afford a car, and to spend all my time at home, and not have to do exams... They just can't see it!!
