- FOOTBALL. MY husband is a sports fanatic and watches everything. Most i can put up with just not football.
ARRRGHHH! :evil:
I swear I'm cursed. Things are always going wrong for me.
Because of the CP and how it affects me and the diabetes i have made a claim for DLA.
Obviously they check with your Dr to make sure your not making things up and making a false claim.
Two days ago when trying to get a repeat perscription i found out that my Dr's haven't been given all the information from the hospital. They had no idea i went into hospital over the easter and on discharge i had been given painkillers to come home with and it's not down that i have CP. After a long discussion with a lady in the dispensary at my surgery she came up with an idea to get my painkillers. She asked if i still had the box the painkillers came in coz it will say on the label where i got them from, great idea except the label on my box was just written on and not printed out. Anyway... i still took it to my GP coz at the end of the day where else am i going to get them from? They were in a proper branded box and my name and instructions were written on them. Lucky for me he didn't doubt me and gave me enough to last a year ( not really but a silly amount).
The thing that worries me now is i know DLA has already written to my Dr and because he hasn't got the info he needs how can he tell them whats wrong with me? He said he will get the secretary to chase the hospital but it might be to late then and the DLA will then think I'm lying.
I also went to see my DSN today and been told that the insulin isn't working and she is gonna try me with metformin as well. If that don't work it's Byetta. Am i right in thinking that Byetta isn't an insulin and shouldn't make you put on weight and i wont have to inform DVLA?
