Why is it that my doctors always get funny about prescribing para and ibu then?

Your doctors are weird? I'm younger than you are and I'm on far stronger painkillers than those. Neither have any helpful effects on me anymore.


Thanks to everyone who sent me luckwishes and such - goodness knows I need 'em at the moment. I'm off down to the housing association again tomorrow to try to get them to expedite my position on the waiting list - and fill out yet another medical form. Ah, well. *sigh*

For now, updating NCIS_newsletter and watching CSI:NY. Yay, fandom. *yawns sleepily*

sue Don't be daft - I'm happy to send on books. It makes me feel less guilty about feeding my reading addiction if I can pass them onto someone else who will enjoy them. I'll get my head together tomorrow/Wednesday and get the next one and anything else I can gather together and fit in the envelope off to you.

Trialia I hope you have a successful outcome from the visit to HA tomorrow - maybe they can bump you up the list because of welfare issues apart from anything else? Would be interested to hear the process etc for future reference for myself.

Hope everyone is sleeping peacefully. Fishies have settled in and seem to be getting quite active. Water is clearing although is still quite green as Dad's wife cba to do the necessary to keep it clear and healthy. Not sure how pics will turn out but will have a go tomorrow.

Have no idea why I haven't gone to bed yet - just being awkward I guess *g*
Night all.

I just thought - are either of you on BookMooch? If not, maybe you should be. I love that site so much

Thanks, I'll let you know. I hope you're feeling better - heard you have swine flu??

I was always told by my Doctors that to get the full affect of my stronger meds, I would still need to take the weaker ones as well as per the WHO (I think it is) pain relief ladder thing. My new Doc is more than happy to prescribe the stronger meds, morphine and tramadol (compared to the old I was talking about) but when it comes to the Ibu and para, its a nightmare because they are apparently so cheap on the street.

The other thing, my docs have always gotten funny abut doing prescriptions for para and Ibu for my children yet I have known mums who when they need more just go to their GPs to get a script filled out.

It must just be something in this part of the country.

As for housing, I sympathise, muchly.

morning everyone

tria good luck with housing today, if you get dla bring the award letter with you, it makes you a higher priority. next time ou see your doctor, if he is an agreeable sort, it might be worth gettign him to write that you need to move asap because staying were you are is detrimental to your health, it coming from a medical bod should also help boost you up the priority list.
id forgotten i bookmarked bookmooch a while ago, i really must get round to sorting it out.

cwta did your dla ever get sorted out? looking forward to pictures whitney lived with an aquarium for a year, and never bothered with it, so i thought she wasnt interested in fishies, i was wrong, she just knew she had no hope of getting them.

ts that is really weird. my doctor hates to prescribe anythign other than paracetamol, but he only creates a fuss about that if he thinks im asking for it too frequently.

:o:o Moving swiftly on .....
Actually it has been in the back of my mind again - I only got half way through the forms and gave up. I must get back to it. Thanks for the reminder :rolleyes:

The cat has checked out the aquarium, but I don't think she has actually spotted the fish yet :rolleyes:
Knowing her, she'll probably be scared of them

Tria I hadn't heard of BookMooch, so that you so much for the link. Great that it links in with Amazon too.
I am 90% recovered from suspected swine flu - if it was that I must have had a very mild dose. Just still rather listless, sniffly and lacking in energy - just a normal day then really!

I am a bit fed up with Dad's wife at the moment. Dad needs to go into Truro to see solicitor and she won't take him in as it clashed with the time that she normally walks the dogs! You can soooo tell she's an ex-teacher - she lives her life to a strict timetable that can't be deviated from. I'll give him a lift instead.
Her and I have had our ups and some big downs in the past and she's being funny with me at the moment. If Dad makes a decision to do something for me (without my knowledge) and she doesn't agree with it, she takes it out on me! We're a very close family and she has all but admitted that she's jealous of my relationship with Dad - she never learned to share her toys?

Sorry - I just needed to get that off my chest :mad::o

Just off to find camera and take piccies of new additions to the Auntie Axe family.

Will take a couple of weeks to get water totally clear.

Been turfing out clothes - I finally have to bite the bullet and get rid of the stuff I'm never going to get into again. And it's a depressing task, I can tell you. I've been through one chest of drawers, and that'll do for today.

Nice pics Auntie Axe. What sort of fishies are they? (I know nothing about fish-keeping).

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all as well as possible.

Had a funnny day. I had to go for a glucose tolerance test (my last routine bloods for the underactive thyroid showed elevated bs levels (although still normal). The pint of lucozade I had to drink on an empty stomach made me feel really sick and I developed a horrid pain in my side- I came home and slept all afternoon instead of going on the training course I was supposed to. I just hope that the test comes back normal.
