Fibromyalgia (part 2)

Careful_with_that_Axe

sharon Good luck for tomorrow; I'll be thinking of you. If it's any consolation, the food pangs do die down a bit when you've been on the steroids for a while and the puffiness and bloating goes when you come off them too.

Well tonight has been a weird one. The cake plans are sorted and usher who's goin out with the baker (who is my ex) has tried his shirt on and that's fine. Evidently that was where our productivity for the day was supposed to end. :rolleyes: We went to try and get DF some work shoes and try to get the groomsmen shoes picked out-mil2b rang when we got there and said she desperately needed someone to make her some food (she's not been well lately, i think maybe a virus?) so we said we'd call on the way home. We rang her on the way home and she didn't answer for aaages... She'd had a fall. The ambulance met us here and here we still are. Ah well.:o

awww lw she is gorgeous. your going to miss her now. any word when you get one form the dog sitting people?
you will never forget the date of the wedding of the century but guess you wont be joining us in gate crashing it if your going to the wolf sanctuary (well done ont he won btw) and celebrating yourself.

bz i understand the feeling mingin, its horrid and is the one thing that will send me into the shower any time of day or night, just being smelly doesnt need the same urgency,

kass i fished the book out to read again as its n longer on at my local cinema.

sharon good luck, hope you dont end up too hungry with having to starve for it. caravan week will be a nice break for you, hopefully the weather will be nice too.

saucy hope you feel better today and it wasnt the flu but just a 24hour bug. good luck sorting things out.

cwta if she did fetch any moths i havent found them yet though she has just come in with wet fur and licking her lips.

bp aww she is gorgeous too. what is it with labs and those eyes.

kass i hope you do come round so to speak soon because you are missed, but im sure im not the only one who will say dont worry, lurk away, let us know your ok once in a while and dont try and rush yourslef into doing more than you can. its frustrating and annoyong enough not being able to retain things without ading pressure to yourself to do so.

bz how is mil2b today? hope she didnt hurt herself badly falling. yay for the cake being sorted, and the shirts.

morning to everyone

raeh

sharon thinking of you today xx

lw the photos are lovely and the little video, ds2 had to watch it 3 times lol

bz i hope your mil is ok? falls can really throw you cant they?

cwta how you feeling? i hope your dad is ok, lips always look and feel worse than they sare i think thank you for the photos, the garden looks lovely

pcl i have never heard of anyone else being scared of moths i cant believe so many people are on here. If i get any in the house in summer because of the windows open at night iv been known to hide under a blanket so they cant dive bomb me and wait til dh is home. The kids think im mad but im sure they do it on purpose and dive bomb my head with those big fat bodies *shivers*

unity hope time passes quickly until your appointment and that your sons goes well as well i remember you telling us about his treatment and it was disgusting

hello to sue and to everyone else, my mind has gone now and im staring at the screen trying to remember what to say .... ahh well i hope you are all ok, We have a little sun here today ... woooohooooo :rotfl:iv taken all the covers off the sofas [took me hours to get them off i darent think about putting them back with my climpy arms] and if they dry quickly i shall do the beds too. I seem to be all unsettled today and need to keep moving even though i shall regret it later! :rolleyes: Im doing the dash about at the moment then collapse and sleep all afternoon lol. At least I can do that through the hols lol

have a good day everyone xx

Thanks pcl and raeh. Mil2b didn't seem to suffer any ill affects from the fall itself, it's more the worry about what's caused her to fall. We've just taken her to the gp's and he's concernede that there may be another psoas abcess forming- you know, the one that's incredibly rare that she's already had 2 of in 18months :rolleyes: I'm concerned that it may be infection where the drain was last time. So now of course my brain is wandering into MRSA territory We're takin her to hospital now on gp instructions. They're expecting her and her consultants from previous abcesses have been consulted. I shall keep you informed as and when i can...:o

Afternoon all.

Sharon I imagine you'll have had your scan by now - I hope it wasn't too unpleasant for you, and that you've been able to have something nice to eat.

BZ it's a worry about MiL2B, I should think. I hope it's not another of those horrid abscesses, poor woman's been through enough. How's your poor DF's back today?

CwtA how's your dad doing? What we need now is at least a month with none of us, and none of our rellies, going base over apex.

Kass I know the "unable to retain information" thing only too well. Lurk away, mate; if you can pop your head round the door and wave, that's great, just so we know you're OK.

Raeh good to see you. I'm glad DS2 liked the wee video.

Pcl I've not heard anything from the dog-sitting service as yet. The one that I was supposed to have was cancelled (recession biting, I guess) but I might be having Molly again some time in October. Fingers crossed!

:hello: to everyone I haven't mentioned by name.:o

I had a bit of a fright yesterday; went to colour my hair (with Mr LW's help), and when I mixed the bottle of colour, it looked green!:eek::eek: Anyway, we went ahead regardless, and luckily it's ended up the expected shade. But I've never seen that before, and it's the same make as I usually use. Weird.

DLA was refused again today. They've ignored everything me and my doctor said, and the form says I can do everything I said I couldn't. They've even taken away high rate mobility, and denied ever saying I could have it on the phone!

I need the money so badly...I even sent additional evidence on Friday, which there is no way they have taken into account, so that was a waste of time.

Now I don't know what to do. My local CAB are useless, DIAL don't get back to me because they are 'understaffed', and my doctor doesn't know what else to do. Meeting a new specialist tomorrow, but I wanted it to be a pleasant first visit...

Wanted to buy my medical records as evidence, but it's £15 I simply don't have.

Today has been rubbish, I still feel terrible and this has made it so much worse.

LameWolf

Awww Saucy sorry to hear you're having such a rotten time. I hope the new specialist is good, and that you can get some satisfaction there.

pcl, I haven't read the book and I'm glad because it would have spoiled the film for me. Books are always miles better than films don't you think?

Thanks all of you for understanding. I'm hoping I will get used to these tablets fairly soon as they are adding to my confusion. I just nipped to the co-op and saw a friend. She was looking at me very strange and said "what's wrong with you?" I said I was just a bit confused and she said "oh are you in Kassy land again". I must have a reputation for being away with the fairies eh!
