I thought you hadn't been out of the house for months.

I actually said that I can't leave the house unaccompanied.

I haven't taken the kids anywhere for years but i'm thinking about taking them to Alton towers during the holidays.

I didn't say I actually was, it all depends on how they behave as i'm not going to spend the whole day trying to stop them fighting.

The therapy I had was NHS except for the counselling which I paid for at £25 a session. Purely because there was a waiting list to have it free. You all seem to get DLA, use it for some treatment. Surely that is what it is for, not to pay the rent shortfall because you want to live in a posh house.

Although I guess ash4becks won't want it. Her main aim in life appears to get a motability car, to which end she appears to be tailoring her symptoms.

iam on the waiting list atm for councilling and rapid eye movement therapy infact and have been for quite a while, i will take any help iam offered because i want my life back to being able to go out with my mates and my mam on a whim shoping, clubing etc that hurts that i cant do that due to the pain

so your calling me a fraud effectively, if only i was!!
i didnt even know what hms was till i was dignosed 2 years ago, surely if i was that desprate for a car i would have done that then

have a day in my life you might just understand a few things when siting up in bed is painful never mind trying to walk properly

i have muscle wastage all over my body the wrist spints, the OT help i have had a bath seat for the past 2 years and a hand rail for the bath, now added to that is a rail for the loo perching stool and foam grips for pens etc and the docs giving me the meds they have and consultant letters to show different as does me now having a disabled buspass which iam over the moon about

to drive would help me alot but it does for abled body people also, cost wise i spend a bomb on taxis and prevoiusly busfares atm i dont even have a provsional if i dont get hrm thats fine i will save up for my lessons and a car the hrm would just speed that up probably save me money and i would get some of my lessons payed for which would be a great help

i have the buspass which i wanted more iam not sure if i will even be able to drive because of my co -dination is rubbish so having some lessons payed for may make up for the co-dination issues i have as iam likely to take longer to pass thats even if i do

A friend of mine has the same condition as I do. He found out the year before last that he could read the number plate and therefore, legally drive. However, due to the problems this codition causes, it's generally recommended that vision is better than what the DVLA's minimum requirements are. He had to have tests done on his eyes and then had a test (which I think was like spending a whole day somewhere private having lessons, or similar) to see if he was safe enough to drive. Has this been suggsted for you?

What's happened to me isn't fun nor is what has happened to sh, ash & everyone else for that fact.

Your so up your own !!!! it's unreal.

You were fortunate to get the therapy etc that you need so now you are feeling better.

Unfortuantely alot of us are not that lucky so we are still depressed.

For someone that has had depression you are not very sympathetic towards others in the same predicament.

But my high speed RTA was fun then?

I wanted to get better, you dont because you will lose your MRC (including the IS premiums) and your not the only one that wont get better because you will be worse off, I bet you your going to look after your eldests DLA post 16, let me guess you want legal rights over him because hes autistic.

But so are you and anything you claim about your son rebounds on you, dosnt it?

The treatments are there for everyone but most people arnt interested, many start and complain that it makes them worse but you have to bare the wound to heal it and when its all uncovered you use all the diffrent means to get as well as you can.

Most people have PTSD/severe depression lurking under the surface for life but that dosnt mean that you cant live, you keep open your choices of treatment for top ups when you need them.

I would rather have died in the accident than live for decades with PTSD/severe depression, it would have ruined not just my life but that of my loved ones.

We have a decent family life, that was my goal from my treatment and because of changes over the past year, eighteen months Im now having further treatment which is helping but it will take months before Im feeling mentally well again.

You dont fill the criteria for HRMC but you are fighting tooth and nail for it because if you dont get it now thay wont pay for you driving tuition, you want the car and the driving lessons so you are trying to make your health fit the criteria which is wrong.

The conditions you claim to have that are undiagnosed arnt real conditions, they are the answers your given because thay cant say we cant find anything wrong with you so you have fibro/ME.

i never knew that you were eligableable for premiums on income suport from reading these threads recently im begining to understand why those that have disabilities that can still work but dont exagerate there illness maybe i should have several yrs ago but working get me a break from my dd albiet some one else watches over her without the break i would crack up i think as well that working is or can be a form of treatment makes you feel good about your self an that your not just a parent/carer.

i read about fibro when i my self was diagnosed an realised it was just a sorry dont know what wrong with you but here is a label anyway never knew that you could try for dla with it tho
