I got it btw! Just have to wait for my confirmation letter:)
I might be getting a waiver that will pay my bf to take care of me and pay for a bench in the bath/shower! They don’t even want my medical records. Just to let them know what I can and can’t do… OVER THE PHONE. Called today. Assessment Friday

kickass, I love this for you!!! it’s so nice that they didn’t demand a bunch of paperwork to make you “prove yourself”, that kind of thing often ends up being a huge barrier for me even though I have plenty documentation of my illnesses

Me too! I don’t have a proper diagnosis yet unfortunately so drs are avoiding treating any symptoms because I get worse and new ones pop up and the drs need to know it’s coming from the illness and not medication side effects so I was rlly worried abt test results being enough but they didn’t even need those!

I’m even more excited bc we rented a place with both the bedrooms upstairs (rushed) and I can’t do stairs so they’re might help properly convert the living room to a bedroom so I still have privacy as well 😩❤️

going through that process of elimination to figure out the roots of / contributors to your symptoms is so grueling 😭 sorry you been stuck in that limbo, I hope your doctors have some answers & treatment options for you in the near future but yeah, in the meantime, congrats on landing some financial support! you deserve ittttt

Tyty. It’s been about two years of tryna figure it out but I finally had some test results come back with something and have specialist appts lined up so fingers crossed 🤞🏻
