Petition Ian Duncan Smith Re Chronic Headaches
Hi Folks,
You may be interested in this petition to have Chronic and Hemiplegic migraines classed as a disability for ESA and PIP claims.
You may suffer, know someone who suffers or just think its a worthwhile campaign. When I'm not in a cluster I get severe chronic migraines so have put my signature to it.

hi have signed too, this could have our condition better under stood and we may have boxes to tick on the benifits form that fit our condition!! well done finding this one, have you found your different view yet? all the best d
added my signature also bad enough having mad heads without the added stress of a case of ids
AnitasPaul
I gather ids can be deadly...
For anyone taken off benefits and forced into work yes or looking at pictures of his bald slap head brings on a nauseous feeling which triggers some chronic headaches

I came across the petition quite by accident whilst I was looking at info on the ESA to JSA statistics. 90 people a day die after being found fit for work which, if taken at face value, is a shocking statistic (the DWP of course say there is no correlation).
I am still looking for my different view. In yesterdays free paper there were some 'day trips by coach to the seaside', which I rather fancy. I like the idea of a flask of tea, some cheese and pickle sarnies and a tartan blanket for my knees incase it gets a bit nippy!
MissKittyB.
Haha, like it :-)

Irritable duncan smith should be a classified brain disorder with high rate pip and esa support group gives me a gippy stomach just thinking about him transparency he should be completely invisible

good morning btw kitty a lovely cool crisp day sunny blue skies for now winter round the corner no more hot head
AnitasPaul
Helloooo
Hot head? Tell me about it.
Have you tried using a MigraCap? Just do a quick Googly to find it.
It is basically a little beanie hat that has gel bags sewn into it. You pop it in the fridge (actually I put mine in the freezer as I need 1 degree above absolute zero) and then, when the brain feels like its doused with sheets of napalm, you just pop it on and reeelax.
It is ridiculously expensive for what it is (about £35) BUT I find that it does help quite a bit. I got one because I havent got enough hands to hold bags of frozen peas against all of my sore spots. It has got a little flap on the front that covers and cools the eyes as well.
You look a bit of a nana wearing it, but do we care..??
MissKittyB.
You guys are making me laugh..... IDS syndrome, nasty.
Never heard of a migracap, but have just bought one on amazon this minute for Pete to try. Also recently bought this for him, he finds it good until he reaches 9/10 on the Kip scale, at which point every tiny sound or air movement is unbearable; soothing on the way back down the other side too.

Feel like a constant hot flush haven't been able to stand the heat ever since my 1st bout of clusters back in 1993 when they and my stomach problems began though it's been a lot worse in the last 2 or 3 summers than after my trip to durban though i loved it there not only how beautiful it was but spending time with my Anita the heat there was so hot n sticky my bp shot up so now have high bp and fatty liver along with these funky migrainus horriblus have day's where i don't feel so bad than day's where i feel like total hot rotton garbage can't wait to get on the medication to see if it gets all under control as my hearts desire is to get back to durban and my Anita was just looking at them masks on amazon a bit cheaper on there

Was looking at a cold eye mask for 6 quid on there and a couple book's truth about pain and one with a very cool title called the migraine mafia will look into that fan as i love cool air blowing over me but have been told that sleeping in a draft can cause neck pain

I like the look of that fan. When I'm awake at 4.12am (precisely), the same temperature and colour as a boiled lobster, I'm currenly sponging myself down with a damp cloth. The fan seems much more civilzed!

I had a bully of a boss a few years back who liked to haul me into his office for a dressing down every time I was off with another 'headache'.
He was a miserable B*** and clearly suffered from Irritable Growl Syndrome.
Hohohoho!
MissKittyB.
hohohohoho ? is it Christmas already got me dreaming of rolling around naked in the snow
AnitasPaul
