    I seem to be unable to stop eating at present.
    I am very upset about this.
    I am also worrying about the DLA to PIP transfer.
    Though I have heard nothing as yet.
    I have a sore throat & a squeaky voice like a wee mouse!

    Think I am your virtual twin sister except for the last sentence - hope throat is better and also all the aches and pains.

    I am trying to avoid all the negative stories about PIP as it doesn't do my worry beads much good.

    Hope you have found a little pleasure and something to take your mind away from the worry, other than food... this being said by a person who feels exactly the same and has eaten a tunncks Tea cake for lunch... an odd comfort day is good for you x

  • Sounds like you're coming down with a bug Beanie which makes everything feel overwhelming. Take a break if you can and look after yourself until you're over it. I'm sure you'll feel stronger then.
