doctor coming to my house

[jenk1]

oh no ive just had a panic attack.
I opened up the mail and there is a letter from the DLA saying that a doctor will be coming to see me next tuesday to assess whether or not i can have any DLA.
I applied for DLA back in april for depression,anxiety attacks and for the fact that i am housebound as i cant go anywhere on my own without having panic attacks.
I found out last month that i have aspergers syndrome and even with a letter from my consultant this is still not enough for the DLA.

I am really anxious over this and if i cant get DH to get the afternoon off work i dont know what i,ll do.
Has this happened to anyone else-the doctor coming to visit and if so what should i expect?

Can't offer any information, just a good Luck meassage.

jenks-
if you get in a state...then at least they see how you are!!! To see the REAL you is what they need.

I had to attend an incapacity interview in january- and i was so frightened that he would say i was fine.

He didn't...he believed me.

I assume he is cominng to your home...i totally understand the anxiety that alone brings..i hate anyone visiting.

i wish this were all over for you.

i feel sick for you.

jenk, i have panic attacks, have you been prescribed anything for them? They are awfulk arent they

yes sertraline, only been on them a couple of days so not kicked in yet, its the thought of filling in yet another form with the doctor and asking questions about my AS.
I thought i,d left all that behind but obviously not.

Oh dear Jenk, I'm sure you'll be OK whatever he sees when he visits! Just wish you weren't so anxious about it. xxx

jenk you are usually the worse the first few days of taking it so bear that in mind too i will be thinking of you x

i'm sorry...i did not realise you meant a panic attack...i took it the wrong way and thought you meant you wre panicking...if you see what i mean.

i am sorry i missed the point!

Hope it goes ok. I will think of you on Tues.
