I use taxis because I have no choice. I have no sense of direction and need constant supervision outside.

Must make it very difficult when you run away!

Therapies are usually based on helping you with the effects rather than the cause and I don't know (and wouldn't dream of asking) what the effects are.

I do usually know where I am when I run away.

Not being bothered to cook is different to not having the energy to cook.

Thank you! I keep trying to point this out. Sometimes, in addition to severe fatigue, my cognitive capacity is so limited I can't concentrate enough to put even a sandwich together. It's not because I can't be bothered, it's because I'm not safe or can't think straight (depending on the day/fluctuation/symptom).

As for taxis, I had to get a taxi home from the hospital at 4am just a couple of weeks ago when I dislocated both shoulders and could not use my arms. Public transport is out of the question on occasions like that - and I dislocate a lot!

Edit to clarify: For any suspicious people on this thread wondering how I am typing when my arm joints dislocate, it's called a dictation program and a headset.

But does extra money help and if so how?

before i comment on this may i add i do have physical issues also carry anything heavy out of the question , iam in pain pretty much all the time to some degree

taxi's are a big help i dont like being alone because of whats happened and it been more than once at 12 and 18 and 19 never reported it, i have my own taxi account i use them that often and always ask for the same drivers , hence why geting a moblity car would open up my world more and i wouldnt have them issues and would be in a safe place of my own


geting to docs and hospitail appintments , i might have to go to london soon i have no trust in people just a few friends and family , when i feel away with the fairys i tend to trust more than i would normally hence why i have friends with me to watch over me i used to carry a knife if i had noone with me

if i have to go out alone iam forever watching my back so i try to go to very public places after what i have needed to do like mc dons as i have a friend there that

massage it the one thing that settles my moods more so than drugs but this also helps my physical condtion, possible physio will need to be added to this also

the gym/ swimming so cost of swimsuit and taking friend with me , i might be lucky enough to settle my condtion so i dont have as many flare ups but nothing is 100% the gym will have to be for later as i cant just jump on a machine like others i have to have low inpact work out the shorts etc for that

the suportive items i need i hate not having heels now :mad: but i try to have supportive shoes all of the time or trainers with the bubbles in as this takes pressure of when walking if i have to , not to mention clothes that are easy to put on and pull of when all of my writst and hands go to pot , theres the strechy supports aswell which are forever in the wash

i give my dad a little petrol money as he is forever droping things of for me milk bread etc , and bus fares for me and my friend shes a single mum with two kids i dont want her out of pockect she does odd bit of cleaning work but with two children under 2 bus her only option

freind also reads letters at times and fills forms out for me i do take her out and for a pub lunch to say thankyou now and again but this also gets me out of the house

my moblie i refuse to go anywhere with it my saftey net if i get lost to ring dad or mate or taxi

my tv net and iam always in the house so foever used net is my lifeline or i wouldnt talk to people for days mate i have talked to often come over just to check on me when my heads a mess on a night to check iam ok

the list goes on and on , and i cant have any help of SS as they say my needs arent high enough

i get higher rate care and lower moblity

iam trying to get higher moblity atm would help me so much to try and live a 24 year olds life even if it was just going over to my friends house and taking my dog ella over to see them oh and btw i got her before i knew about all my physical issues and she is my life heart and soul and the best theropy i ever will have , and shes probably saved my life twice when shes woke me up having a astma attack

Hello,

You should speak to your community nurse, they will arrange a prescription for both incontinence products and also bibs. They are delivered to your home every 13 weeks. You do not have to pay for any of these products from your DLA money, they are free.

thank you, one of my carers told me I could no longer get these for free, I'll look into contacting the district nurse
