  1. Thanks for all of your feedback. I'm looking into OT and am in regular contact with OH at work. I haven't applied for DLA, but I have applied for a Blue Badge from my local council. I feel less of a fraud for your comments. I appreciate it.
  2. I know this sounds really daft, but I'm not sure if I qualify as being disabled or not. I was diagnosed with MS a couple of years ago. On top of this I have a bad back due to an injury I sustained 20 years ago and I have a congenital condition that makes the bones in my feet dislocate, which sometimes means I have to walk with a stick and I limp a lot. I work full time and don't receive DLA - I don't qualify for it, as I don't need help getting around or in the house most of the time. In fact, up until a couple of years ago, I was quite fit and active, going to Zumba and Pilates, etc. However, over the past 6 months or so, my health has deteriorated quite markedly and I'm having to use my stick more and more. I avoid taking the stairs whenever possible, as I have poor balance and get tired very quickly (occasionally I fall over). I've started perusing disabled products on websites to make life a bit easier at home, but I'm still not at the stage where I need assistance. What do you think? Do I sound disabled to you?
