Let's Introduce Ourselves: Getting to Know You

Hi there ,yesterday I recieved another letter to help with my lymphoedema because I get a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders they told me to take things a bit easier,so today I am not going to do any of my crafts ,when I finished my radiotherapy, I had a lot of burning sensation, i felt very tired and i didn't sleep so i used canderstan to help cool the burning ,and i still use it now for my arm as radiotherapy left me with lymphoedema, i still get appointments, to see my lymphoedema specialist but because of the covid 19 I can now phone and they will help me on the phone ,instead of going to the hospital, I am on the critical list so I am having to isolate for 12 weeks, my anxiety isn't very good but I am doing what they told me to do ,as having loads of illnesses and fighting breast cancer and emphysema and lymphoedema and having no immunity I find that have to because I know if I get this I wouldn't be able to fight it as it is harder enough fighting everything else ,so please everyone stay safe and abide by the rules lots of love to you all Happy Easter to you all love Tiger xxx 

Happy Easter Tiger and EVERYONE else "here"!  We are ALL in this together, always have been, always will be, perhaps even more so at the moment BUT have 100% faith in us all and know we'll "come out the other side" of this situation.  Sending all my love to you all - stay safe and will always try to be "here" for everyone x

Wishing you all a Happy Easter today, Sunday! May it be a good day for us all; stay calm and remember, we're all in this together. Times are hard for us all, but through strength and support for one another we can get through this. I salute the NHS for spending their valuable time giving care and love to all patients with COVID-19! Bless them! 

Hello friends

Wishing every one a very happy Easter. it is strange not to be able to celebrate it with the family, not being able to go to church. But under the circumstances, we all have to stay in and do our best to keep us occupied and exercised. God bless every one. may God bless and protect all the staff working on the front line with little or no PPE.

Hi everyone hope you all enjoyed your Easter as best as you could ,I thought it was lovely to see all different religions doing a Sunday service on the internet ,I sat yesterday and watched the greatest story ever told it was absolutely beautiful, it told the whole bible story of jesus it was beautiful and I enjoyed it ,as feeling so distant from my family I have been using the internet to contact them all ,I was talking to our elderly neighbour, I have been lending her DVDs  to watch she is all on her own bless her and I've been talking to her on the phone so she didn't feel to lonely as she has health issues and she has found it hard bless her the red cross has been giving her food parcels which everyone is helping us all ,I think the NHS have been absolutely amazing and my daughter has been serving in her co op it's so lovely to see everyone helping all even our hotel down the street has been helping all the homeless people by putting them up it is wonderful everyone doing ther bit and this site has helped me a lot to so thank you cerenity for your help God bless you all stay safe lots of love to you all Tiger xxxx

Hi, my name is Sarah-Louise, I do look on these forums but have never introduced myself.

i suffer from Rapidly degenerative Fibro, I’m a type 1 diabetic, I have asthma and also chronic IBS and restless leg syndrome. I have a vitamin D deficiency and I am also under the consultant at my local hospital as I have something wrong with my liver but not sure what yet. 

I hope everyone is staying safe during this pandemic. 
The only thing I am struggling with (apart from my illness) is getting n a slot for home delivery shopping. 

any advice would be greatly received. 
many thanks for reading this. x🌈

Hi Sarah have you tried registering on the goverment page if you got a letter from the government there should be a number to call if not ring your gp and ask them they should be able to tell you hope this helps love Tigger stay safe xx

@Sarahlouise‍ 

Hi Sarah. yes as Tigger said, if you have had a letter from the Government, there is a link to click on and register yourself. There is also a phone number and they can register you after asking some questions. Don't know if you live alone or you have any one to do your shopping for you, but if you are on your own and have no one doing your shopping for you, they do send out emergency essential food box periodically and if you are registered with any supermarket, they can influence that Super market to give you a quicker slot as a vulnerable registered person. With your underlining medical condition you would be classed as a vulnerable person

Hope this helps.
