The BMA want to charge us to see a GP in England & are balloting GPs!

I speak to my GP every 3 weeks and have for years.

I do this as I have fentanyl at a off label dosage interval due to withdrawals between patches.

I cannot afford anything let alone appointments!

GPs to be balloted on ‘plan B’ including providing private services, BMA confirms

This is voting to make us pay for NHS care!

Typing is painful and very draining physically so I don't even read replies and mute most posts so I don't have to see questions that I feel I have to reply to but have answered so many times before.

So I just don't see them as they are muted or replies turned off to save myself

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

Just a note to add that if you reply to a post and I don't reply to you, that's because I don't reply to 99% of posts.

I mute many, but I don't reply to questions that I get asked that I have answered 10,000 times before and even made blog posts about to answer it.

And I get just over £430 a month as a disabled person who cannot work at all and is home all day every day due to health.

This country is fucked up and cruel.

[Robert HJ Marshall @roberthenryjohn]

This is outragious inequality. . . .
The whole of Britain should be ashamed, especially Royalty!

This is fucking appalling.

Not the topic, THE ARTICLE!

Who would have thought disabled people might not be able to stand long.

Fucking ridiculous.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Priority queues at the theme park in Paris are full of Britons using their PIP or Disability Living Allowance claims to skip long lines ⤵️

Meanwhile, I get just over £5k a YEAR total income.

Read that again.

Can't afford:
rent anywhere
heating
2 meals a day
to buy anything at all

Can't get ESA or UC
(go read my pinned about me or faq if you want to know why & yes this is correct)

£35,000 a year in the UK in 2026 puts you in the lower class.

15 years ago it was a comfortable graduate salary that bought you a decent flat, a few holidays a year, a savings habit, and the realistic prospect of a house.

Today it gives you take-home of about £2,200 a month. Rent on a one-bed in any city worth living in starts at £1,200. Council tax £170. Energy and bills £300. Food £400. Travel £200. That's £2,270, before you've bought a single thing for pleasure.

You're behind on day one of every month.

The wage hasn't moved much in real terms in 15 years. The cost of everything around it has roughly doubled.

Every wage bracket has shifted up by one rung — the £35K that put you firmly in the middle class 15 years ago barely keeps you afloat now, and the salaries that used to count as struggling are quietly slipping into poverty.

The official conversation hasn't caught up.

Anyone calling this an 'economy that works for ordinary people' isn't talking to many ordinary people.

Anyone know good UK bathroom cleaning product that you dont need to scrub?

My bath/shower is so hard to clean due to my chronic illnesses, that the dirt ends up getting bad.

Wanted one of those electric scrubbing brushes on a stick designed for that, but thats impossible.

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

I have clothes I wear that are 30 years old.

I have a lot around 15-20 years old too.

I can't afford to buy anything let alone clothes.

PIP IS NOT AN 'OUT OF WORK' BENEFIT.

This is your daily reminder.

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

Need to try to clean some of the mould off with mould products

It just gets worse & I can't leave it

It is physically harming my health, so I really need to take some action, even though I can never get it fixed properly due to the size of the job

I just need products to do it

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

A reminder that I no longer use @AmazonUK wishlist as it exposes your address.

I use @official_throne for my wishlist.

I have health stuff, and stuff for the mould and damp which is harming my health. Also food (when I remember)

Nothing ever expected.

But I can't afford to get one ever so I am screwed.

I had a air purifier which I ran 24 hours a day some years ago but that died.

UTIs are the most annoying thing. My chronic pain is unbearable but better than UTIs all the time as they are so severe when I have them

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

I need to get a dehumidifier and air purifier pretty desperate now

Had the mould for years and can't fix it as you know, but apparently the mould is contributing to one of my chronic illnesses.

It could be causing my chronic utis apparently.

Told to use them 24 hours a day

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

Many of us are disabled.
You do realise many of us dont have a choice, right?

[Hazel @Hazeludw]

YOU GUYS WOULD BE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE JUST SIT IN THEIR HOUSE. THAT’S IT. THAT’S THEIR LIFE.

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

I removed my amazon wishlist now as they show your address to people, so my wishlist is on throne @official_throne

Nothing expected as ever.

[Chronic Heather @ChronicHeather]

Not as active on here but my life is the same.

Same struggles, same income, same everything.
