Cable Forum - Moans and Pet Hates

Just had some test results back (calprotectin). Not the news I wanted. The good news no signs of Crohn's (remission), the bad news, it confirms short bowel syndrome. I don't know whether to laugh or cry or both.

One actually arrived after 3 and a half hours, and the Paramedic's decision was to immediately made to rush off to hospital, ASAP, "Critical Care Required".

Blimey, all the best to you both :tu:

I totally understand that. I usually float around 9-9.5st. And I basically live in thermal tops. Even with the heating on at 23-24c avg, the slightest draught goes still through me. It's really hard to warm up or stay warm. I'm constantly shivering when I'm outside even when it's 15-18c out and everyone else is fine.

The other downside to being thin is that everything hurts a lot more. Sitting on anything not cushioned is torture, lol.

Are you using your heating this year as I remember you said you would be last year due to your pip payments? My heats been on the last few weeks when home mainly first thing in the morning.

No haha dropped PIP due to better mobility

my moan a blooming puncture 10 miles into my morning bike ride. 5 mile walk home.
Time to shake things up anyway body used to cycling now so time to shock it. Will maintain cycling fitness with shorter local rides and hit the gym again. The shock will do my body good

The DWP are doing a review of my bank accounts since 2022.

They are more than happy to take money away from me when they screwed up my carers allowance back in 2023 and taking back the £252 they overpaid.

I ask what can I do as I'm paying out £250 more that the UC give me, they said speak to the providers.

We get flood warnings when the river levels rise much further up in the Welsh Valleys, despite having no rain down here.

We had one a few days ago, then the monitoring station went offline so we couldn't keep an eye on the levels.
