I'm guessing you've never had M.E then?

By the time he made all these specialist foods he would have no energy left to eat it! It's must easier to have something ready made that just needs stuck in a microwave because when you have ME every single little bit of energy counts trust me!!

Just like whoever said you can work aslong as you can talk. Not the case when you have the jaw problems related to the likes of ME and it's too painful to talk, you are unable to write due to the pain and your energy disapears in minutes just trying to concentrate on something.

I think you need to have experianced the illness SC has before saying 'make your own food' because it's not simple as that.

Luckily I'm nearly better and going to start working in the new year but when I was bad I had to be followed around because I'd do things like forgetting to turn the hair straightners off or getting up in my sleep making sandwiches with a sharp knife.

Ok, without wishing to sound ignorant, what's the difference between preparing your own chips, using spuds, that are cheap and cheerful (do McCain really extract the gluten from their chips). You wash them, use a sharp knife to chop into chip shapes, whack the oven up full, cover with oil in a baking tray, toss them around to coat, and bang 'em in.

You buy a bag of chips, you use something sharp to open the bag, you put them on a tray, bang em in the oven to cook, or deep fat fry.

You are open to injury with both those options and they are both pretty much straight forward

 

SL if you are a carer then why do you not get carer's allowance?
Carer's Allowance - introduction : Directgov - Caring for someone

 

didnt just say him did i

i do know about ME actually i know how even getting out of bed can be a struggle even if you can, i also know that your are meant to push yourself to do something every day so please dont assume anything

I dont get carers allowance because the government dont see M.E as a illness so he doesnt work due to dyspraxia (however its spelt) and my mother has just put in for me as her carer so we need to wait for her carers papers as mum's just been told about 2 weeks ago that shes never going to get better.

Also I refuse to have a chip pan fryer in my house they are dangerous.

I do cook for him, stir fry, chicken, casarole's but he needs food that he can pop in the oven while I am busy with my mum or busy with the dogs as he needs to eat ever 2 hours because he doesnt get energy from food.

Chip pan....but I dont trust either tbh.

 

I dunno how you still have the patience to explain yourself hun, the fact is most (not all) think those on benefits are dossers and scum.

I remember replying to a thread recently. I explained about my mums situation as she is on benefits and the attitude was basically "well she still shouldnt be claiming she should work!"

Cant please em all

 

this is laughable...why the hell you have to justify

1)how many dogs you want or can care for
2)how much you spend on food
3) your families' health issues

is completely beyond me.

SL, don't feel you have to justify yourself. Some people on here have behaved terribly and I feel that it has been completely uncalled for.

Thanks, but he gets low rate care component for Dysprxia which means we are not able to get carers allowance.

i've had ME since i was about 7 years old.

It's not like i could not go to school so i was off school for like months at a time because of it not like i've just decided i can't work because of this.

You guys need something better to do than suggest ways i can't do things.

 

Chip pan....but I dont trust either tbh.

well just incase you dont know.. but Im sure you do.. I have a deep fat fryer.. wouldn't have a chip pan in the house and mine when it gets to a certain heat, the heating mechanism goes off...

How the heck do you do that then???

I've had it since around then too and had to leave school at 13 because I became so ill I couldn't be around the crowded enviroment of a school and it was too tiring traveling to classes. Friends ditched me and I was left alone really. Became too ill to even have my curtains open and had to be in a darkened room at and at times my sight would just go. But because I could still talk I was obviously well enough to work I worked my ass off to be homed schooled only for 10 minutes a week and because I was so determind I done 3 exams and got top marks in them all. Not much to some but something as simple as being well enough to shower on my own was a huge acheivment.

Slowly over the years I've managed to get better mainly because of my animals because they are always there for me. I have lots but they are the reason for me being so well without them I'd probaly still be unable to write or move with pain. So insulting someone for having too many animals isn't right unless you know the circumstances behind them all.

I take my hat off to you hun.. you have worked very hard to become who you are now.. xxx

But I dont think I have insulted Sl and boyfriend for having to many animals.. my point was she has probs with scorcher and she may be best dealing with scorchers probs before she goes and gets another puppy that wil be more time energy.

You come a long way then, i've not had it that bad all at once mine i struggled through and then i'd end up in hospital for weeks and they'd have no idea why.

 

How the heck do you do that then???

They want people who are disabled back into work so you can work part time for a year while getting the wage. It's so people don't feel like they have no support from benefits if they aren't well enough in the end. It's a good idea but I don't think many people are aware of it sadly.

thats the crappy goverment for you.

I have a friend whos dad has terminal cancer, her mum cant claim carers from him even tho both have no money now bcause it has made them have to give up thier jobs

i honestly dont understand who makes up all the stupid rules for carers and disability allowence.

Thanks. People seem to think I've magically got better etc but there's been months of tears and pain behind it all.

Cheeko had problems with other dogs but we got Blu. Some people would have frowned upon it (and still do) but it was actually better for him that we got a puppy because he's got over his problems that he had. Depends on the individual dog and circumstances I guess.

Yeah i know how you feel it's crap, the government don't really care about the people who are truly ill just more about stopping people from defrauding them, it's not fair.

 

I looked after Mother for years...had to give up most of my work...couldn't get the crap £40 odd carers allowance cos I was earning more than £70 with what little work I could do a week....big deal.
