    Morning all,  Not feeling good this morning, tired with an awful headache.  I'm aching all over,  this is getting a bit boring now as I feel like this all the time, to a lesser or greater degree.  I'm having blood tests on Thursday to try and get to the bottom of it.  Have no idea what I'll be up to today.

    @Busy-Lizzie  Amazon (France) have it, although it comes at a price.

     
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    I've just started an application for PIP. 
    What a soul destroying exercise .

    Imagine trying to fill it in, if you are ill, alone, etc. This is why so many people are turned down.
    Happened to me, even though I am pretty clued up on the system. Soon as I appealed, I was accepted, they rely on people not appealing, even if they should be receiving it.
    Totally unfair system.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    @Yviestevie ((hugs))  ☕ a friend suffering Long Covid reported feeling just like that.
    Try to take it easy. 

    Good luck with the PIP @hostafan ... when I worked for Soc. Services I was often the one sent to help with those forms ... what you need to do is report what it's like on a bad day, not on the best of days.  It feels awful doing that, but if you don't get the help you need it'll soon be a bad day every day.  ((hugs))

    @oliviataylor100 :) I try not to use ibuprofen too much as it's not a good idea with my other meds ... Deep Heat, a hot shower and some exercises I was shown when I was much nearer your age than I am now usually help to ease it.  

    By the way, have you realised that we're all 27 on here ... old enough to be able to do all sorts of things but not so old that we have to be too sensible about it  ;)  Although I've been gardening for a very long time indeed I'm 27, as is my daughter @WonkyWomble ;)

    Ah yes Dove heat is always the best for sore spots i’ve found. I suffer from ME so often get very achy limbs and a hot water bottle always helps. I hope your back eases up quickly. And don’t forget we’re all as young as we feel at heart! 

    @Hostafan1 good luck with the PIP, filled in quite a few myself and it’s always very difficult. I find they make it as hard as possible both mentally and physically so you don’t bother at all.
