How long, how does it affect, can you, what medication, how does that affect you. All of these answers have medical backing - hence the reason why the research and evidence.
But is your illness the same now as it was in 1995?
I have notes on my conditions going back to 1989 (5 months after I was born) - I would never send those in. How does being the way I was then, matter now?Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Pain managment isnt just about opiates and they are only a part of pain management alongside other drugs/treatment and the stronger drugs affect you less because they are both PRN or 24 hours a day delivery, you dont seem to understand pain managment very well, its about living with pain and not using the drugs as an excuse, thats what your morphine posts hear are about, using everyones pre programmed negative attitude to morphine as the strongest pain killer in the world to prove that you are disabled or in pain.
That dosnt wash with people who are experts in pain and fight for relief for all there lives.
I take Morphine MST up to 100mgs every 12 hours
+ Oramorph up to 20mgs every 4/5 hours.0 -

Don't start preaching that rubbish to me!
Yes I do try to live my life the best that I can. It's like saying smoking will kill you, probably, but I still smoke, because I enjoy it!
The system. Yes the system. Tell me who doesn't play the system one way or another?
As a retired civil servant, I played the system against people. Of course I was fair and honest, but there are such things as looking a bit deeper into something or maybe checking a hunch, or maybe throwing the book at someone, but not at others. It goes on, I did it, my colleagues still do it.
So, yes, the law - the system is there to be used. It's finding out how it can be used. Never illegal, but just demanding your rights!
Don't go into detail as it is irrelevant to what I was asking. You might had been in the most horrible accident in the past, been in coma for months, then learned how to walk again. That is irrelevant to your function today, at this particular moment. And 3 miles on the bike and your posts are good markers of your abilities.
Is there anyone who things that someone cycling for 3 miles a day and writing multiple posts on the computer is not fit for work?0 -

Hi I don't need that advice. I have done enough research to date to learn what is and isn't possible.
Don't class me as a fraudster or a cheat, I understand the rules and use the rules to my own advantage. Everyone is entitled to do so, some chose not to others do.
I take what is legally mine to take. Nothing more - nothing less.0 -

If I know that some of my neighbours is getting ESA for mobility issues and then see him cycling for 3 miles I would report him with some video footage of him cycling and we would see what be the legal result ...0
