Raeh I do hope you schedule in some rest time for the half term break. I do worry a bit that you maybe feel if you stop that you'll not start again iykwim. I hate to think how tired you must feel sometimes and, to be honest, it frightens me a little for you. Please doon't take offence - I mean it in the nicest possible way. No need to respond.

You have totally hit the nail on the head and i think you are the only person that has ever realised that, even people around me see me carrying on and on and think its easy for me to do so but i feel iv hit a wall this week and feel all tearful with the pain and tiredness now iv stopped today, i have the sore skin tiredness?and im finding im getting little cuts on my hands and bruises around that just arent healing ! Also dh didnt bother with a card or anything so that made me cry [not in front of him though ] ok enough complaining

regarding the moving house i think that if you are getting stressed and unhappy then a move would be the best thing. Our homes are the one place in the world where we should feel happy and comfortable and if you have lost that because of neighbours maybe its the right time? then again on the other hand the stubborn side of me thinks bluddy b*gger them why should anyone make you feel uncomfortable iykwim? the financial side would be something only you could look at and know whats best. I wish you luck whatever you decide to do xx

sue im glad you are feeling better and the pain is less shame our nights can be so bad though isnt it? i almost understood last night why anyone might stab their partner :eek: i was laid awake in pain and dh happily snored the night away :rotfl: I hope you have a better night tonight


kass martins rose made me smile too

Hi guys, just dropped in to say hi but not got much time cos have to take OH to work (I know, on Valentines, boooo ).

The weight loss isn't all about the wedding. I'm not one of those that needs to be looking like a twig on my wedding day. :rolleyes: But if I don't do something I'll only get bigger...so if I'm going to do something about it then it may as well be now? Kassandra the specialist was concerned about mixing the meds together. And the GP followed suit... (They're "allowing" me to keep the Amy-on-a-trampoline but only on 20mg.) They're worried about the respiratory depression that can happen with the mixed meds too and as I've already got asthma (two attacks have put me in hospital in the last year already) it's not really worth risking it.

Raeh
Well the !!!!!!!, I'll send you some Valentines love:lovethoug
I always get cuts and bruises too! It's weird cos I won't feel the cut happening, it will just appear and the same with the bruises yet, for example, earlier, my leg just brushed ever so slightly against the plastic wash basket and I was in agony, yet I'll bet money that I won't get a bruise from that!

Don't push yourself too hard love. It can be hard to come to terms with but if you need to stop you need to stop. I tried too hard to carry on and in some ways I think I made myself worse. Before I was dxd, I self medicated with certain stuff that kept me going and enabled me to still work and go to Uni and look after the house and kids. In the end, even that stopped working and I think all I've managed to achieve is a higher tolerance to drugs :mad:

Ah I see BZ, it would be more of a danger than a risk then. Sorry for interfering. I just thought there may be a way round it but I quite understand now. I'd also never heard about respiritory depression either.

Well bye for now guy's
:wave:

hiya, thanks for the welcome. It's mine and dh's 5th wedding anniversary today but he had his wisdom teeth out yesterday so he's slept through lots of it (makes a change from me sleeping the day away;) )

My son is 18 months old and he's such a caring wee soul, on really bad days he curls up in bed with me and watches tv:D and he rubs my knees when they're sore. He goes to bed at 10.30pm so he sleeps till 12pm the nbext day which helps me get lots of rest thankfully.

I'll catch up soon, i'm off to give dh a drink before curling up infront of a film together

Hi all
I have no idea if I'm doing this right, but i have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well as osteo arthritis..............and applied last march for DLA. It was refused and it went to appeal............which was adjourned on wed till they get more info from docs etc.
Why isnt there more unsderstanding people out there lol

suep

Welcome Shirlthegirl I have a friend who was turned down 4 times for DLA, each time she took it to tribunal and still lost although that doesnt happen to everyone, she refused to give in and just kept filling another form out after each refusal, eventually she took the advice from our local support group to go to CAB and someone from there filled the last form in and she got it.
I do hope you are awarded DLA, but if not dont give in and go to CAB, they have people trained to fill out these forms.

raeh, I really am not the only person you know, we've all been there and done that. I'm just bolshie enough to vocalise it to you The toll it must be taking on you emotionally and physically must be tremendous and, in my opinion, can only do harm in the long run. When you feel in the mood to, could you sit down and work out with OH how life can be made a little easier for you? I really do worry about you and I know I'm not the only one.
I don't want to bring you down, but you might find it a great relief to have some burdens taken from your shoulders and feel more well? At the risk of really talking out of turn, denial is not just a river in Egypt. Am sending you lots of hugs and I really am saying this out of friendship.
OK, when in a hole, it's tme to stop digging

With moving house, I've outgrown this place too. I really want someone to tell me what to do - I'm not old enough to make my own decisions yet! :rolleyes:

Sun is trying to poke from behind the clouds today, but I really must get my @rse in gear and get ready for cleaner tomorrow.
Hugs to all

Well, CwtA, I think you already know what you must do and you just need validation

Can't you find somewhere else that costs the same? It's difficult enough getting enough rest without others putting the blockers on it. Is it just the one person that is causing you misery?

Well it sounds like you have found where you want to live and it's just the financial side that is stopping you but to be fair, we don't know your personal situation and your friend probably knows better than us both how it's affecting you and your financial status. Hope you don't think I'm being too personal

Welcome Shirlthegirl, not being ignorant but not sticking around right now. Feel like a big pile of ... but I will hopefully speak to you later :wave:
