Very servere migraine, meds and sleep. Woke up coughing and moved rooms. Found it freezing and had to put the a/c on to warm up.

Air con installers came at 7.45 and looked at the faulty air con. It worked today whereas it didn't work for me last week - stupid machine. It is still not fixed to my satisfaction so I will write another email to the person who organised for todays visit.

Got some sleep and then had some lunch. Found out one of the wedding guests hubby passed away on the weekend from cancer. Hubby wanted to go and visit the widow but I said it was not the right thing/let her be with her family.

Got to my psychiatric assessment and I hope it proves I am worse than my previous one in 2005. Meds are still fairly much the same as last time but there are lots of things that have changed. Mind/concentration was tested and I failed the maths test and had trouble even remember the year was 2008 - said 2006 - oops. Now a matter of waiting to see if they (my super fund) will give me the tpd if the psychiatrist writes a report that says I should have it.

We went shopping for sheets and towels and a wedding card for the wedding at tamborine this weekend and I managed to eat some dinner - not all of it. Got to take my meds so that will help get the food that is going through the band move and hopefully I won't be sick. Vomitting (sorry folks) seems to be settling down and I don't know what to do about my appointment tomorrow with the band doctor - go or cancel. While I was having my pychiatric assessment hubby was at the dermatologist and has had a steroid needle as the skin problem is not healing - it is so rare and trust him to find a rare illness that seems to be stumping the dermatologist.

I was interested reading akitas diary. I can't believe that people here tell you out right lies and think they have got away with it. I am stunned by some deppies and their diaries and their replies which are not true. Akita you are very right about the diaries and the hits that are on them - you have to be part of the click to get good hits. As for writing about families, I am guilty of that and it is something that stresses and upsets me and I need to put it out because Queen Bee thinks she knows best and that is not the case.

Take Care All!!!!

PS I have failed to indictate the fun I had today. It was spending time with hubby at the shops/having a bite to eat and doing some shopping. We don't do that a lot so it was fun to spend the time with him.

Studying, you have just told us that you have had your psychiatric assessment and you "Hope it proves I am worse than my previous one in 2005"
2005 was three years ago! Anyone in your position would be hoping for an improvement! What, do you not want to get better? It seems as though you are enjoying being the way you are. I suffer severe migraines and depression AND I have anxiety when it comes to any sort of socialising! But I try REALLY hard to go to work & live my life as normal as possible. I can't understand why you would want to stay house-bound, not getting out of bed, staying in PJs, not even making an attempt to help yourself! Not to mention living off tax-payers money. Or is it because of the big payout? Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd have thought that your health would be No. 1 concern. Or are you not quite as disabled as you make out?
Sorry again if I sound harsh but I live in the real world.

I don't mean to offend you, but I also find it a little backward that you wish your report is worse.

You've left numerous comments on my diaries, and those of others saying words to the effect of you wish you were well enough to do those things. You can't have it both ways studying. You can't WANT to go out and go back to study or work or even just go out into the world for a walk if you're actively wishing that your psychiatric reports are worse. Forgive me, but it seems you need to do some serious thinking about your priorities Studying.

NOTE THIS Reply IS MY OWN OPINION AND NOT AT ALL MEANT TO BE INFLAMATORY ._DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON OCCASIONS STUDYINGS CONTRIBUTION AND RIGHT TO BE HERE IS NOT AT ALL MY INTENTION TO QUESTION

Hello Studying

I make the assumption that the "wanting to be worse" is a financial one aimed at getting your entitlement to TPD.

I have received my TPD payout, but please know you need two Drs to determine "you can never work again” EVER.

I was fortunate (not the right word) that loss of vision constitutes immediate payment of TPD and does not require the person (me) to met any work criteria. I.e. I can work in full knowledge of the insurance company and settlement is not affected. My claim took two specialists and 5 months to settle.

Studying I am likewise concerned about your attitude to recovery and have been for a long time. If you don’t want to recover because life is either too easy or too good or the money is the motivator, it does make it difficult to take on board your comments on others diaries. Studying this is not a personal attack at all, you have every right to be here and say what you want, sometimes however the paradox you present may frustrate some users and that is why I have asked you not to comment on my diary.

As for comments regarding" hits" for god sake this is not an online store or eBay, hits are irrelevant. Saying what you need to say, as you use your own diary for, must be paramount and if we are fortunate to get support, guidance or further insight then that is a bonus.

Please take care, I understand the pain insurance companies can put you through (I was a general manager for a very large insurance company). Much as the ethic is to pay what is entitled I have always found that assessors do look for ways not to pay...I wish you luck but hold hope that you will not let the insurance dominate your life...it can be a long drawn out process.
