Disability Living Allowance: Good News!!!
Finally, some good news! Actually, not just good, but live-alteringly wonderful! I have fulfilled the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) criteria and will be awarded higher care and higher mobility awa...
S.udden P.iteous D.isaster
Am starting to think that my previous idea of “just over doing things” this week was horribly mistaken. This will be short as my fingers aren’t working very well, let alone my wrists...
S.omething P.retty D.aunting
What a couple of weeks these have been. My recovery from the Symphysis Pubis injections was not quick. What a hell of a lot of pain with, so far, no good effects (like… say… pain relief!)....
S.uch P.ain …. D.’oh!
Well, I’m lucid enough to type, and grateful for that small blessing. Am rather less grateful that my tiny son doesn’t understand why Mummy cannot have him crawling all over her, or even u...
S.imple P.edantry of D.espots
The big day is almost upon us: I am excited about the prospect of less pain… but more than slightly terrified of the initial pain of the injections and the fact that it all may not work at all a...
S.uperficial P.honecall D.iaries
Less than a week to go until scanning and injections! Yay? Henry can now wave and say “Hiya Mama!” to me, and “Hiya Dada!!” to his lovely daddy! We’re oh so proud and loo...
S.tylish. P.etitions and D.istractions
A while ago, I added my “e-signature” to a petition hoping to make the government aware of Pelvic Girdle Pain, hoping that they would allot some money to fund research into treatment. A fe...
Charity is a virtue of the heart, and … the… pelvic girdle?
How wonderful - there’s a new Pelvic Girdle Pain charity on the block! It’s specifically set up for sufferers living in Scotland but the fact that more people are clamouring against the ti...
S.uspicious P.icture of D.ays
I’m so insane. There’s no chance I’m going to be well enough to get a job in the near future. I don’t know what’s up with me. I just seem to need to be able to visualise ...
S.uavely, P.atience D.ims
My, oh my, it has been a while: my apologies for anyone who has noted my absence with regret. Happily, I don’t seem to be any worse, though it’s true that I’ve not seen my GP for a w...
S.igh… P.ainkillers…. D.rastic
My options are running out. My lovely GP keeps offering me morphine and I keep turning her down, but it’s starting to get ridiculous. I don’t know how much longer I can realistically cope ...
S.uddenly, P.ossibly, D.reams come true?
Rejoice with me now…1, 2, 3 - REJOICE! The good news is that I have an appointment for my anaesthetic injection into the symphysis pubis “joint” - the slightly bad news is that it ...
S.ome P.ertinent D.alliances
Right - today’s news. I’ve just returned from 3 hours at the hospital. 1 laying down x-ray and 2 flamingoes later - “Yes, you are in a lot of pain, aren’t you?” said the ...
S.imply D.epressing P.ain
Okay, so I braved not only the stairs today, but also the frosty glare of morning as I queued outside my GP’s surgery in the hopes of being seen reasonably quickly in the “No appointment n...
S.ickness, P.ain and D.etermination
My painkillers have been changed this week. I was in so much pain over last weekend that I had to force myself out of the flat and to the doctor’s surgery that is happily situated about 5 minute...
Looks like I do have a good consultant!
Having received my confirmation letter for my February 19th appointment, I decided to use the magic of Google to look up the consultant I’m seeing. My lovely physiotherapist had told me he was &...
