Hi there

I haven't worked for a year either. I think I'm gonna start the whole application for incapacity benefit (I'm in the UK). Some people get it, some people don't - the main reason being they don't consider IBS "serious enough" to stop you working!! As someone else on this forum said, what are we meant to do? Bathroom tile inspector?!

I've only been able to leave my house 3 times in the last 4 weeks - working right now would be impossible. And I was no wallflower before the IBS hit - I had a marketing management job with a huge global company by the time I was 22 (last year), and travelled the world. I've paid plenty of taxes, and worked 15 hours a day for several years - and now some paper pushers tell me I don't deserve a little help..

Grrrrr....

It's horrible isn't it? I feel like I'm relying totally on my boyfriend. He's totally fine with it, but I hate it
