Another 7 Days

-
Wednesday 12th March: Had the initial persistent pain meet up, learnt about different pains, and different families of pain killers, most interesting. Good to meet with others in the same boat. Now to work out my pathway, starting with medication review.

Thursday 13th March: Nero today, he knows when I'm feeling down, sat beside me most of today. He's such a good dog. When I do move to a ground floor flat or bungalow I need to get my own dog. Slight twinges set in early evening.

Friday 14th March: 4am - waking up in early hours with your left arm feeling like you want to crack open the bone and scratch inside it.... another reason why I hate fibromyalgia. Neck and back in agony too but not as much, 8 out of 10 - need the toilet, but it's difficult to move. So need help with nights like this, but I can't predict a fibro flare up at all.
Maybe I should have taken that flat in that complex, but wasn't ready for that.
Looking at what the council have, I DON'T WANT communal kitchen or living room or laundry facilities. But I can't be struck down by pain, be trapped in my own home or be stuck when I'm in agony.
Well, managed to get over to Dad's with friend of mine. Also managed a little shopping on way back.
Friday evening - a pain in my left side, neck and mid and lower back aching too, nodded off earlier. Not feeling too good 

Saturday 15th March: Feeling sick with pain again, twice in one week with the sickness. Really fed up. Neck, shoulders and back hurting, am feeling cold too.
Took Dad shopping in the afternoon, then regretted it as my back started playing up. Got home and headed for bed early, electric blanket on.

Sunday 16th March: Not too bad this morning, pain at 5 out of 10. I managed to get things done today. Body hit back in the late afternoon, in total agony after pushing myself. Damn it. Early to bed for me then, so I can have the benefit of my electric blanket on my back.

Monday 17th March: Almost 2:30 and awakened in agony, I knew my body would hit back for accomplishing so much yesterday. Pain at a 8 out of 10. Feeling sick with the pain again. Left hip sort of feels itchy inside. Got Nero later today.

Tuesday 18th March: Another slow and painful start to the day. Tonight will give an idea a try.

Cons proposals for PIP

Cons proposals for PIP Sunak and his government need flogging - end of! Here are his government's proposals relating to PIP. Awards for claimants with physical health conditions and those with mental health issues were called into question by Sunak. He argued that whilst some people need money for aids such as handrails or stairlifts “Often they’re already available at low cost, or free from the NHS or Local Authorities. And they’re one-off costs so it probably isn’t right that we’re paying an ongoing amount every year.” MY VIEW ON THIS: I need PIP for my motability car, also to get CBD and other natural remedies as I'm not a fan of co-codamol and other pain killers and things to make life easier that I can't get elsewhere, I buy my own walking sticks that go with what I wear, so they blend in and don't stand out, it helps my minds train of thought. In addition, claimants with mental health conditions are to be targeted because “for all the challenges they face it is n...
