that I dont know about..I ask this because according to my Esa report I may be fit for work within three months or in the shorter term..

should I be excited by this (yes I was being sarcastic). I do wonder what planet these people are on..

and the worst thing is they are supposed to be health care professionals..

If you dont laugh..I think I would have break down.

    Healthy people seem unable to grasp the the fact that someone may have a condition that does NOT get better. When they are poorly they go to the doc, swalow some pills and hurrah! - all mended and back to fighting fit. They see that we take medication so I am sure the basic assumption is that once the pills get to work we will get better too. Twerps. Arthritis fluctuates so much that it does render us unreliable for work: we may want to work but our dodgy health precludes our being reliable employees. That is another factor that people seem unable to fathom. DD

    Hahaha I'm the same. There must be a miracle cure for OA, fibro and prolapsed disks with sciatica and incontinence cos according to ESA I will be fit for work in the next 6 months.

    Hmm I wonder who would employ me? A nursing home would be good cos at least they are used to people peeing themselves :lol:

    My GP says things like 'These things can take a long time to right themselves' when writing out another sick note for me.
    Does he really think that the OA in my spine will right itself? I'm not sure that he has read my x-rays etc fully and realises that it is not just a strained back.
    To be honest I don't think I have told him about all the other parts of me that I get trouble with. It seems a waste of his time to go everytime something else plays up. The treatment is the same anyway - pain medication.

    Well it's all just too much. I was thinking of putting in for spa but I am now in to minds. The whole report was a farce to be honest, I can't understand how nurse thinks she know more than a doctor I mean my gp.

    Honestly the whole thing Is a joke isn't it?? :roll:

    All being well - with perseverance you will succeed.

    Tis a terrible system and l still think we should all be seeing our MPs and 'showing' them who allegedly fit for work :?

    The only way l think the system will ever be looked at again.

    Love and luck
