Did you see the possible treatment of auto immune diseases like ms using implants to activate nerves to control immune responses. I thought very promising.

what fun day I had, well hubbie did.
Just so people get my little OH GOD! moment a quick out line of my condition .. I'm Blind, double Incontinent with supapubic, Paralized from the chest down, left arm has a life of its own, syringe feed due to choking and suffer with communication problems as in word jumble etc and list could go on like many of us. I've tried removing myself from this world twice the second time being this year hence I have a shrinkydink team, buggers stick like glue as I refuse to admit I'm in the wrong and argue I'll go when I want ... but thats a whole other story.
so to our surprise, well not really I recieved my letter from department of works and pensions from what hubbie says I've been demend fit for work with support, WHOOPIE I can work, wish someone had told be long ago, I could have been stacking shelfs at Tesco's.
Hubbie spent well over and hour on phone asking how they came to this conclusion, didn't really get a plausable reply just kept being told we have the right of appeal asked what was the point in form filling providing medical evendence, Psychiatric reports and MS nurse reports if all your doing is ignoring what medical proffesionals tell you we may aswell just sent a blank form back and gone straight to appeal once ATOS recieved there cash bonus.
Out of curiosity we went to the job centre late afternoon, Lovely young girl was amazed at the letter, we put it forward who the hell is going to employe me when in reality they would have to employe three people, me and one to do my work and a carrer for my personel needs, hmm! maybe thats the plan to generate jobs. long and short of Job Seekers is I have to be available work, which I'm not so seek employment is a nono, so what do I do. Have have the right to appeal.
If I hear those word again " you have the right to appeal "
So tiny little rant over, I'm going to sit down the beach, enjoy the sound of waves and the birds and just think of nothing all day.

Hi all.... Hope everyone is well.....
I've had a tuff few days of not feeling too good... Feeling angry and upset over external things.... More than a few tears over daft things... but very insensitive things.... Maybe I'm oozing.... Anyway.... Focus is back onme and trying to find some serenity again.... Seems to be working but it has not helped my MS or sleep.
Sooo I have my ATOS medical coming up and my 1st specialist Neuro appt too.... Gave lots of blood away yesterday for all the tests docs going to do... Thyroid, calcium, Vit d, b12, sugar.... And more me thinks. :)
Just wanted to ask some advise regarding my ATOS medical.... Should I really take someone with me? My dad... He doesn't take no sh1t... Or a nice fluffy friend? Someone that cares, but you know what I mean when i say fluffy in a nice way.
I know someone or maybe two people recommended joining a site some time ago to help and assist. Is there one you could recommend again... Ideally one that will provide advise on ATOS and DLA as I'm a total novice at explaining what they consider most relevant.
Here is a link to one I've looked at today.
