hi got a question for you all, d.la. doctor said that i may need to go back to the doctor again soon and something about the next stage what did he mean?

i cant walk round the supermarket anymore and can just do shor distances before i feel any pain, hence over the weekend and last week i have been pushing it quite a bit, so what do i do now or can i do any more or should i be taking it as it comes i feel from the time that i first went to the doctors it had got worse ie, cant walk as far and more pain.

    It doesn't take much foresight to say you may be going back to the docs again - that's what we all do on a regular basis! Can you recall anything else about the conversation? 'The next stage' could refer to your claim/ the arthritis/ getting more help, anything. DD

    If you told him all of that, then rest easy. You have done what you can, now it's in their hands. We have to ride so many roundabouts, don't we? The doctors' visits, the hospital visits, the medications, the blood tests, it's exhausting. I know it's easier said than done but try not to dwell on what has been taken from you. This disease gives precious little back, compared to what it takes - don't give it the satisfaction of capitulation. Fight it, my girl, and you will win in your own time and in your own way. DD

    thanks DD you wonderful person you :) I am not going to let them off with giving nought, if they don't I'm going to appeal at the least they should give me the basic rate for both, I know of someone who can walk further than me ( this person makes me sick ) a selfish thoughtless person and I cant stand him grrrr anyway he only suffers from lazyitis
    on a lighter note I did not realise the awarded it to they kinds of people, :lol::lol::lol: what I say is they should give me his money and he should not have it. grrr
