The non national children are autistic and wont get services in Poland or Lothuania or Estonia for example. The parents hear through the grapevine that the Irish are a soft touch if you need one on one for a child with a disability. We cant keep going with this and we should be concentrating resources on Irish children. Its not right that people are bringing autistic children here for one reason only and thats to get extra resources free of charge. I wont get much if I go to Poland so what's in it for me to have so many Poles here, we need to make things less attractive. How much is child benefit in Poland and can you spend your life on welfare there.

Not everyone would want to be with their children all the time but lots would like shorter working hours and its not possible because of poor enough wages and high creche costs.

I deal with them accordingly, as it affects me, rather that writing myself off waiting for it to happen. Again, yes. I commuted 2 hours in the am and 2 hours in the pm, and worked 4 9 hr days and 1 6 hour day, for years. In the absolute height of my initial condition, in the weeks before my diagnosis, I dragged myself from my bed, fatigued and unwell and with no idea what was wrong with me. Smells made me sick, food made me sick. It was so horrible that on one occasion I had to ask a family member to meet me at the train to ensure I got off because I felt so unwell I genuinely didn’t think I would make it home. I was subsequently hospitalized days later and my gp later told me I could have lapsed into a coma, the condition was so severe and untreated.

But I choose to live the life I have to the best of my ability, working for as long as I possibly can, providing and building a future for myself that I can look after myself down the line. I am not a victim to any of my auto immune diseases. I am strong and independent and enjoy what I do, and paying my own way in life. I am lucky that every day I can get out of bed, and go about a relatively normal day to day life, may need a little bit of an adaptation here and there. But for the most part I do ok. I enjoy working and I hope to work for a long time yet. It’s just very frustrating to see my tax going towards people who are totally workshy.I get that people with illnesses or conditions are more limited in what they can do. But it’s very rare that someone with a standard condition is totally unsuitable for all work.

spookwoman wrote: » Occasional migraines and sporadic back pain, well that's nice for you but some of us get them more than occasionally. Some of us get them frequently even a few times a week and it's not just pain confined to back it's can be all over. Having that level of pain and illness takes its toll in other ways as well. I know it's hard to grasp the concept but people can be sicker than you. Whoopy f*ching doo you commuted 4 hours a day, many people commute more than that daily and plenty of people worked over 9 hours a day as well when ill. I also see you own your own business so that's how you can work around your illness. Most of us can't start up our own businesses, we don't have that type of money, the energy, the health, the skill set to do that. Also businesses are not going to take someone on who is too unreliable due to illness. Would you employ someone who could call in any day and say they can't come in because they have a cluster migraine or their pain is so bad they are on meds that give so much brain fog they cannot function. Would you take on someone who has severe brain fog every day where they forget stuff etc? And the rest of us haven't worked, paid our taxes for years etc, we don't take strong medication either...... yep.... :rolleyes: Welcome to our world we find it very frustrating dealing with people like you. Many of us with invisible illnesses deal with ignorance like yours every day but thankfully when being assessed by Medical Professionals they don't measure us against the Shoesdayschild scale of "well if she can work everyone else can" measurement. But in the end you still don't seem to get it, "as it affects ME" seem to be the only thing that you understand, Me as in Shoesdayschild. How do you know what it's like for these people, are you a medical professional, do you have access to their medical records, private life, their bodies etc to know what they can and cannot do. And again you are measuring a persons illness etc against your own, just because you have your own business that allows you to work around you illness does not mean everyone else has that type of access to work and to even think that is incredibly ignorant and selfish. So someone said you did a great job, I still stand by my previous statement that I pity any family member that may need you help or sympathy, in fact I pity anyone who would work for you if they got sick. Reading you on here I'm thinking god help them, I can already hear you go on about how bad your hands are and how you can work blah blah blah, guilt tripping them into not going home early or calling in sick. You seem to believe anyone with a debilitating illness is workshy without even knowing their history, you also seem to think that a lot of us on disability have a great life. We don't, we deal the the daily pain, the brain fog the other side effects, the isolation and many suffer with depression. We count pennies, most of the time go without because we have bills to pay. I'm leaving it at that but if you every stop working for yourself think about applying for a government job you'd fit in great with your attitude.

But for someone prone to cluster migraines you sure can sit in front of a screen writing essays of replies for a long time. Might want to watch that, could trigger you.

I haven't had one for a few years thank God but when I was prone, sunlight could kick an attack off - a PC screen writing the Iliad would have killed me. I also do 4 hours commute per day but I never realised it was nothing. Who knew ?!! :rolleyes:
