How annoying, sounds simple and you've probably already thought of/tried it, but have you tried resting it on a wheat bag or similar? Might help a little? I've done the slipping-whilst-using crutches, it was in the lab at college, and there was one half of a slide on the floor, crutch was on it, and whooosh, right into table :rolleyes: Also, have you tried peppermint oil? I have some IBS probs and painkillers obvs. don't help that, peppermint oil helps with pain up to a point for me anyway. Really hope you start to see some improvement, even if it is "only" in pain levels soon!

Yeah I've got a wheatbag that I can freeze or heat up in the mic, but I've also got a cushtie which I'm finding the comfiest It's also more manipulate-able (I've got a really long one as well as the short original ones) so I've sort of used it as a wall round my foot at night, to perch the quilt on... well it works when the my foot's not too sensitive, the quilt isn't too lumpy and I get the construction right :rolleyes:
I haven't tried peppermint oil yet no - do you mean to take as a supplement sort of thing?
Thanks for your concern

what a lovely forum this is and l for one cant thank you all for the support you give.It has been a difficult week for me but l knew that if l came here l would be supported and cared f for.

We care about you sharon and tbh I was worried about how the kerfuffle on the other board would've affected you... I know it threw me through a loop, so what it must've been like for you I can't imagine I'm sure you've heard it before, and it might be a bit like a clich! now, but I do think you're very brave :A and I think about you a lot. I hope you manage to keep posting and letting us know how you're getting on.

Hi all, Im starting to think I shouldnt be in here. You are all so nice but I feel like a fraud as I only have epilepsy. Im not getting it across well but i know what I mean. i feel so isolated and lonely but just dont fit in anywhere online or in real life.

kaj70

ONLY epilepsy. that shouldnt have an only infront of it. i feel everso lonely and i also dont feel like i dont fit in. i have some great friends, but i think it is mainly because i am on my own, i dont have anyone to share the burden with. you are welcome to join me on msn if you want to, that is my lifesaver. im new on here, but im sure everyone will agree your not a fraud. and that your very welcome

purplecatlover

sammy, its obviously up to you whether you stay or go, but what at said is right, only should not be in front of epilespy. ive said a few times,but i will repeat it again, you are more than welcome in here. join in the converstaion or start a new one, if we miss somthing you (or anyone) asks or dont reply specifically to you its not that we are ignoring you, or dont want you here, its just that many of us have brainfog/memory/concentration problems and foget at least half of what we intended to reply to or wanted to say form reading to starting to write a post to giving up and just posting what we have already. sometimes we have other things taking time away so we dont ahve time to do more than read, or say a quick hi, sometimes we dont feel up to any more........its not personal and im sorry if anything i ahve said or done has made you feel that we are ignoring you or not welcoming you here.


kaj70 welcome to the thread, its nice ot meet you and of course your welcome to join in. please do jump in and make yourself at home, and nudge us if we miss something or forget to comment on something you specifically wanted us too
