Does/did anyone else feel so weak and overwhelmingly cringed out during healing? Thankfully I've managed to decrease my pain meds a lot now but am feeling queasy at the thought of walking again and can't escape these feelings which make me feel so faint. I've been keeping as busy as I can but any form of sitting up and doing stuff just makes me feel like jelly. Trying to do little and often so my muscles don't waste away to nothing.

1.5 weeks post surgery on Weber c trimal complex ankle fracture.

The mental game is hard. I'm met with guilt that people have it 100000000x worse.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I'm waiting for an MRI of my lower spine and further investigations, and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar.

Over the last couple of years I've developed a number of symptoms that don't seem to fit neatly into one condition, and I'm trying to see if anyone has had a similar experience or eventually received a diagnosis.

My main symptoms are:

- Significant bladder problems sudden onset September 2024, including urinary retention (I've been told I have a high post-void residual), feeling like I've finished but then later suddenly needing to go urgently but then losing the feeling a urge, some leaking, and pain/irritation in my bladder, urethra and pelvis.

- Extreme fatigue that seems completely out of proportion to what I've done. Sometimes I'm so exhausted I feel nauseous or like I could be sick. (I've always been a tired person but it is worsening and my life revolves around my energy crashes)

- General body aches and pains.

- Feeling "out of it" and hungover almost.

- I also have ADHD and anxiety, but these physical symptoms feel separate from that.

My urologist has referred me for an MRI of my lower spine to look for a neurological cause, and I'm awaiting further tests.

Has anyone had a similar combination of symptoms? If so, did you eventually find out what was causing them? I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just interested to hear other people's experiences while I'm waiting for answers.

Thank you.

When I sat PTX last year, I seem to remember the exam software only showed the relevant pages from the permitted text for each question. Is this the same for TCP or are we just given the whole book for each question?

Any other parents out there juggling children, life, work and exams?

Struggling more than ever. I'm so worried I won't get through this and it just keeps getting harder. There's always an illness or an issue to deal with and I feel like I'm only just holding everything together

I am currently mid-way through my training contract with a top 20 firm in audit dreaming of the day I qualify and put all these exams behind me ..

I was wondering if anyone, once qualified, has moved from a bigger firm to a small local practice and would be able to give me some insights on what this is like in reality e.g finding a job, salary, progression, how pressured work is at a smaller firm, and how this could fit in with my audit experience.

I've heard that training in audit is the easy part then the pressure gets even worse from there and I'm not sure I can take that as I have young children etc. I'm not into massive salaries and would be happy settling for 60-65k for a 9-5 job (with only a few late nights here or there).

Tia!

I've got 25% extra time and 8% stop the clock (why such a random %!?!)

Anyway, how does stop the clock actually work? I will be at a test centre and not in my own room

Thanks
