Just to draw your attention to the website BBC news.There is a story about an arthrititis sufferer and the cold weather and dealing with Christmas extra workload and stress.
You need to click on England and scroll down to the bottom.

Take care all

    Thanks Elizabeth

    The link is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8418931.stm

    There are also a few paragraphs about the AC Helpline and a direct link from that page. Some of the comments sound familiar, so is she already here?

    I just caught the end of a piece on the news yesterday about how hard it is to claim ESA. The lady who had been turned down couldn't stand, sit or move for more than a few minuets at a time and her hands were usless for anything much. She was awarded £2 a week, I'm not sure what that was for. :shock:
    It also said that the CAB are so busy that they can't deal with all the claims and appeals, as they don't have enough staff, so they had to send people to other agencies! What a world! :roll:

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
