  • I've been discharged. How I don't know, because I'm still a danger to myself and I was honest and told them how I really felt. I guess they don't care really.

    tell your doc or go back to a&e if you can
  • The home treatment team came out earlier and I told them how I was feeling. Again, they just say call us if you need to.

    Hello everyone!
    Can see that despite being really down on yourselves you are still supporting each other. Keeps my faith in human nature!!
    Being gentle with myself - jumping some hurdles in terms of dates. You know "this time last year". Has to be done though!
    The one thing that keeps occuring is that I had such a lot of support from my friends and most importantly from my previously fragmented family.
    Children are fine and I am functioning like a normal person so what more is there? Maybe feeling like a worthy and productive person? I guess we can't have it all so for now I will be happy that everybodys' needs are met and I haven't crumbled!!!
    RBK, CG and Sandy - go easy on yourselves and start to believe in yourselves. Best wishes
    JH
    One life.

    Hello again friends, I haven't been around, due mostly to medication changes and finally getting into hospital last week for bi-lateral facet joint injections and a transforaminal epidural.

    I don't know if it is the fibro or the deterioration in my spine but recovery seems longer this time and I'm feeling like I've been hit with hammers :(. I've also had to change from Fluoxetine (Prozac) to Citalopram because of interaction with chemo-prevention meds and after twelve days I am feeling a bit Vinnie Jones -- emotional :o.

    Hugs to everyone who needs them and thank goodness the snow is finally going - I hope that is the last we see this winter.
    Some people hear voices, some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever :D

    It took me days of agony to get over my facet injections and I have Fibro, so you aren't alone!
