Fibromyalgia (part 2)

Careful_with_that_Axe

Lewt Your friend would be better off going to the doctor and speaking again about pain relief. Sorry not to be of more help, but we aren't allowed to give any medical advice here.

Morning everyone
bz You must be exhausted. Hope you manage to get a decent sleep and feel refreshed.
I finally managed to get the back seats of the car up again yesterday which is real progress as it's been full of boxes etc for ages. Sold tabletop dishwasher for £110 and bought a 2nd hand slimline one for £35 which is being delivered today - tabletop one ould only have gone on the floor in the slot where the dishwasher goes in the kitchen, so not much use really.
House Fairy over for a coupla hours this afternoon.
I'm getting there!

bz glad you got home safe and it was a nice send off. i hope you managed to sleep and i hope you have nothing planned for today or tomorrow, you need to take it easy for a couple of days.

lewt i dont have fm so cant suggest anything on that front, but i would say that one of the best things you can do for our friend is continue to be there for her and support her. understand when she cant come out or go shopping, when she has to stay home or has to break arrangements and dont drift away form her. stick around here, send your friedn this way if you (and she) want, they are a wonderfully supportive bunch of people.

Maybe that's why there's a two-hour shutdown scheduled for Friday - to get it working?

Just been lurking recently - but saw the posts about the new button and it works! If you see a number of posts you want to reply to, hit the new multi-quote button on each one and when you've selected a few, hit the normal quote button and it puts them altogether on a reply box. As Alexander the meercat would say: "Simples":D.

pcl The tabletop dishwasher size is, hmmm. Imaginer a fridge turned on it's side and it's about that height, depth but about half the length iyswim.
You can feed the plumbing off the taps and the drain hose down the plug, but would need adaptors for the taps for it. TBH I haven't been that impressed with the quality of the wash, so am pleased to go back to a full size one, albeit a slimline version. Just about to plumb one one in and put on wash for the first time. Wish me luck!
Hope you like your hair when you get used to it. It'll probably be much easier to look after iof it's shorter.

I'll play with the multi-quote when I've got my BB up on Monday as this mobile connection is fine as a stop gap, but is more at dial up speed which is frustrating.

i shall stick with my plan to save up for the plumbing needed and have a cupboard removed to fit a slimline in then. thanks

Hi guys, i need your help, my best mate has FM and is having a real bad turn of it at the moment what can i do to comfort her etc. i feel so helpless and i wanna help so much... how can she be left to be in such agongy? can i not try and get her doctor to give us some really really strong pain killer o keep at home? she has tried tramadol and that don't touch it..

please help me guys are there any tips out there? i hate seeing her likek this..

Lewt

Lewt I'm a bit like Cwta - I'd like to help you more but if the painkillers she's got now aren't doing the job then she really needs to be refer back to the GP or consultant. Let her know that pain management clinics are out there and should be made available to her, and that Tramadol isn't the last stop in 99% of cases. It can be a fight for us to get what we need to get throught life with these conditions, but it's worth fighting for it.
