Can i just say how much i appreciate and respect the way you try to understand us. It just says so much about who you are not just as a doctor but as a person. I'm sure you'll say something like it's 'just being normal' but it's unusual. I mean lots of people try to imagine it, but hardly anyone...

thats why i dont have a smart phone. I cant text it takes me about 10 minutes to write 2 words! hopeless

So you run mobile apps on a laptop? so the ridiculous problems i have because i dont have a smartphone because of issues with my fingers, & therefore cant het a whole host of 'apps ' that would be useful but they dont make them for windows - eg the NHS app.... i could overcome with a macbook...

ooo passata!! they are also nice with a jar of pitted black olives & some feta. non nom :):D

@Jonathan Edwards i s this the one you mean? lol i dont imagine you have anything so naff as a pink handled knife but the blade/style itself? Victorinox Knife for Vegetable, Pink, Medium, 10 cm : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

it sure would! ha ha :laugh::laugh::laugh:

@perchance dreamer I think maybe surgeons cut like for control? when you have a small implement, you are not pressing down very hard or as repetitively to cut flesh with a scalpel, as when you are chopping a carrot. I had 2 dodgy moles removed in recent yrs & i watched the surgeon working...

I cant manage any prep at all these days, so its all frozen or supermarket ready prepared done in microwave. But just as an aside, frozen brussels, roasted, coated in a drizzle mix of equal amounts oil, balsamic, honey & a bit salt pepper, are delish :) Also supermarket versions of frozen...

I think of all the places in the world i would be terrified to go, a neurorehab unit would only come second to a psych unit. I would be shocked to discover they understand anything about ME. And They would be at least, if not even more likely, to prescribe incremental increases in activity after...

he of the swinging jacket... I think that's Benny Hinn isnt it? lol Benny Hill was a comedian. I dont find Hinn's shenanigans at all amusing!

@ladycatlover I also cant wear knickers below the navel/waist because of a surgery scar which is uncomfortable to touch. I wear these M&S ones which are fabulous, BUT i buy 2 sizes too big, i cant stand the elastic digging in - my weight fluctuates a lot so when i in a sz10 trouser i wear these...

I think it still worth getting a few samples if you can though. things look very different depending on the space they viewed in. All tile shops should be prepared to sell one or 2 tiles to view at home

I pretty much housebound too. I ordered them online from a large nationwide chain, they were delivered in 3days. And i bad quite often so i was able to see them in a bad state within a wk, but if you bad less often that would be impossible. what a bummer

All floor tiles have to be slip resistant these days, so do make sure they are suitable for bathroom floor, the retailer will state this. But there are different rates of slip resistance - eg 'medium SR' or 'high SR'

Yes depending on how severe you are and whether patterns ever affect you, i'd definitely wanting to take several tiles home with me to look at them, 'en masse' in the room you want them in, while you are at your worst, eg with a migraine if you get them. You dont want to discover you cant cope...

just as an aside, and not to take over the thread, but if you live in a house built before around 1940, then the terracotta tiles may be laid either direct to substrate or on lime-crete rather than on concrete, which means it will be breatheable - if you put vinyl straight onto that you will get...

I was given something similar to use to get stockings on, but its muchwider than my leg so it was more difficult for me to get the stocking onto the device, than onto my leg! i didnt have the hand strength to stretch the thing that wide, it was very irritating/frustrating trying to hold it &...

I have glossy white tiles, which cause me no issue, but only on one side around the bath - so not whole room & not on the floor, and i have a regular pendant lightbulb in middle of room, with a paper lantern shade on it (so at no point can the bulb be seen unfiltered/un-diffused, so it cant...

Its absurd @ahimsa & it has been going on a good while. see the thread i started about it here Members only - Bizarre mask policy at dentist & vaccination centre | Science for ME (s4me.info) I have developed a tactic against the stupidity which avoids an argument that i got no energy for. I go...

yes i get the same. I hypothesise (in a very 'lay' manner), that the body also releases adrenaline when it is injured/physically in trouble. So if i inadvertently overdo it a lot - eg i get very 'into' doing something & dont realise how much i'm doing (eg on S4 or some other cognitive task) then...
