Just been on holiday in a static caravan at a holiday park. It's quite interesting when you book a caravan at a holiday park; you mention you want a disabled caravan and they add half or double the price on again, I think it should be illegal to be honest, surely it's against the Disability Discrimination Act. We managed to find a holiday park, well a company 'Park Resorts' that didn't add any extra to the price which was amazing. The adaptions were brilliant, everything was lowered for wheelchairs, there was a ramp, an adapted shower with seat, lots of grab rails, and a 'monkey bar' in the bedroom.

Also lots of holiday attractions offer disabled rated but some of them you have to ask about, call about, or book several days in advance. Disabled rates weren't always obvious or written on signs that showed the prices, it was worth doing research before we went.

I have just had my large toenail removed, I am having problems with both of my toe nails, I had part of my other large toenail removed about two months ago but it's having problems healing, I don't know if the toe nail problem or the healing is anything to do with my fibromyalgia.

The other thing I noticed both with my nail surgery yesterday and with my wisdom tooth surgery a couple of years ago is that local anaestic doesn't seem to work very well with me and even with the maximum dosage allowed I was still I'm ALOT of pain during the procedures. During me tooth I was told it was not pain but pressure but when you are on the verge of screaming because it hurts so much you know you are right, I took the teeth to be a one off... Until yesterdays toenail removal when it hurt alot. The pidatrist told me he could stop but I told him to continue. It is possible I have found that both my toe and tooth were infected so the anaestic did not bind to the tissue... Or it could possibly be due to the fibromyalgia I don't know...

Another thing which is really frustrating at the moment is all the talk of benefit cuts in the press..disabled people need DLA, well a large amount of them do and also people unable to work need ESA or incapacity... Playing with the figures or trying to force people to work when they cant is just going to cause alot of problems in the long run, we didn't cause the movement to over spend... For example it's the tax payer who is paying for the pope to come over to the UK, sure I am sure that is important money wise than the equivalent amount of sick peoples benefits!!
