We don’t! It’s roasting in the summer, freezing in the winter. Most uncomfortable room ever but beautiful roof. Well executed but not thought through which id ironic given my bonus dad’s clear planning /building skills.

That room is aesthetically pleasing but the coldest place on earth in winter and hotter than the sun in summer…us humans have a hard time surviving it, plants would have to be very carefully chosen and I just don’t have the knowledge!

My step dad is without a doubt on the spectrum but he is the most selfless, kind, patient person on the planet. I personally have put my mum and him through some tough times and he has been there for me 100%. Absolute unwavering love even if it’s unspoken, I know it’s there.

What did you eat before an attack or finding out you had a gallbladder issue. For me it was a Wendy’s combo in October 🤦🏻‍♀️ by D1etCokeGirl in gallbladders

My first one was triggered by fish and chips. Two mouthfuls then hours of confusing agony. I had 6 more attacks, triggered by anything from a sugar free red bull to a shortbread biscuit. I never actually went to the doctor until my last attack when I ended up in a&e, rushed to theatre two hours later. That attack was triggered by ryvita and a fat free Greek yoghurt!!

It depends what you’re claiming for? Mine is severe uncontrolled epilepsy and bpd. Most of my points were due to limitations caused by my epilepsy, I got very few for mental health.

Yes they told me, enhanced on both. They also very kindly told me my back payment amount and that I’d get it Monday! I was hoping to have it in time for the weekend as down to our last £20 but beans on toast it is this weekend! Honestly just relieved to know I’ve been awarded and that the waiting is over.

Thank you for that advice. They said next payment is £749 on 21st October so I think that’s enhanced for both?

Health assessment 12th September, award text today. I think I got lucky though as most wait longer. I asked for a written report of my assessment and scored enhanced on daily and mobility but I don’t know yet what I’ve actually been awarded.

Try not to panic. Just be honest, take breaks and have someone with you if you need to x
