Fibromyalgia (part 2)

suep

Thanks for that Jamla, I think anyone who has ever lost a pet will be touched by that poem, I have heard it before, but will write it down this time. It made me think of my springer spaniel Rosie who passed on about 8 years ago, I still miss her but it doesn't hurt as much now. I am really scared of losing Diamond, my little heinz 57, she will be 11 soon, we lost Rosie at 11 so I am a bit anxious about Diamond, she is really healthy though and still playful as a puppy so fingers crossed she will be with us for a few more years yet.

Bushbaby Im so sorry for your loss :grouphug: I hope you can take comfort in the fact that your cat had a long and happy life with you.
Also good luck tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

Sunshine welcome:hello: Good luck with your Rheumi app

raeh

hello all

bushbaby i am so sorry that you lost your cat 20 years was a wonderful long time for her to be your best friend good luck for tomorrow, i will be thinking about you and hope it all goes well x

elliot good luck if you decide to change GP the reason that fibro was originally considered for me was because i was in obvious constant pain and blood tests showed nothing! Just because they dont show anything doesnt mean you are fine tut We really should send unity over to him

oh and btw unity you cant order david tennant as hes on my shopping list would it be greedy to order keanu reeves for dessert??

hello and welcome sunshine good luck with the rhuemi

BZ its cold and windy here too [and thats just me ] make sure you get something nutritious to eat *puts hands on hips* dont be like me and grab a handful of biscuits and a cup of coffee , im actually considering making scrambled eggs but after cooking for the kids i cant usually be bothered :rolleyes:

auntie axe are you feeling any better today?? thank you for the recipe it sounds fab and so quick when i go shopping on wedensday and remember to buy flour [ran out making yorkshire puds] i shall give it a go

stay warm everyone x

Yay! I have Housing and Council Tax Benefits again! They unceremoniously suspended them a few weeks ago and I had to reapply, because of the "change in circumstances" that moving house seems to constitute. I went to the Town Hall immediately to sort it out, but of course it's still taken weeks... but I have it back now...PHEWF!

I still feel rubbish today and have to go food shopping with OH soon. Still not had a shower cos the flipping heating didn't do it's job and it's too cold for all that malarky :rolleyes: so I'd best crack on I guess...

bigzippy

P.s. yes, Raeh, I did have something relatively nutritious to eat...providing that a chickan and cheese toastie and some tangy cheese doritos counts? Esp when followed up by the best extremely chocolatey cookies by Fox's bisquits

OH is now on the phone to British Gas as despite a call to them over the weekend that went on for about an hour or more, sorting out the 3 profiles!! :eek: they have set up for me at this and old address!! :eek: and the 8 bills I'd been sent without reference to which house they were for!!! :eek:, their automated "pay us or we send debt collection" call up service rang up today about bills for the old house in an incorrect name that's already been dealt with!! :eek: :mad: What is going on!?! Surely there was a day when things were doneeffectively and efficiently? Surely it will come again? Surely??

bushbaby, so sorry to hear about your little purr baby. 20 is a great age for a cat, so you must have provided her with a lovely happy life.

bz BG are about on par with BT in my assessment of efficiency. Good luck. Maybe when they do finally get things right it would pay to see who is the best and cherapest supplier for you.

raeh, I am starting to feel a little better, but still have noodles for legs. Am feeling so feeble that even the 5 step walk from car to bank and back again totally wiped me out. Suspect it may take me a while to get back to an even keep after this and it's getting frustrating.
But the choice for tomorrow if to either tackle the ironing or buy some new clothes to wear. Difficult choice!

I haven't made the cake yet, but recipe was given to me by a friend and he specifically asked for feedback on it, so am not sure if he concocted it himself?!

Ah don't get me into my assessment of BT's efficiency! I once got a bill for £588 for services I didn't even have and wouldn't have even cost that much even if I did have them. Every time they told me they'd sorted it out I still got another bill the next month telling me it was in arrears. Heinous. I deeply suspect that my now long standing issues trying to get a phone line and BB installed is more to do with BT than Sky, but alas Virgin don't operate in this particular area yet. Bummer. Would've been SO much simpler to switch addresses!

Have left BG in the capable hands of my affronted (on my behalf) fiance!!

No, it's been doing the rounds of the internet and message boards for some time. As far as I'm aware it's edible, but I'm not keen on cakes that contain vegetable oil.

Quick wave to folks - still got very sore muscles which is a bit rediculous after this amount of time.

Auntie Axe please take things easy and give yourself a chance to recover.

Rae - how long before you get the results of your blood tests? Sorry, I know you said in an earlier post but I've forgot.

Zippy - have you asked BG if their tarriff for people on disablility benefits is open to you? Sorry, can't remember what it's called, but I went on it back in October and having checked on one of the comparison sites recently found that the next best provider would cost £22 a year more.

Was going to say something else, but the brain's still in sludge mode - you all know what I mean.

raeh

bz dont start me on BG :mad: they sent my mum a leaving bill for almost £400 for her final month when she moved and then 'reduced it for her' to about £150 as long as she paid immediately!! i have a large 4 bed house and even i cant run a bill up of that much in a month!! she kept getting the automated calls which i consider threatening to a pensioner that has a number of anxiety problems and she had kept phoning them to say the bill was incorrect and gotten nowhere, so i phoned and after ranting on the phone to some poor fella for over half an hour and constantly telling him that no i wasnt satisfied and shouting about harrassment he eventually wrote off the bill just to get rid of me i hope you can get it all sorted soon

auntie axe make sure you are taking care of yourself and rest until you are completely over this. Have you no neighbours or friends nearby that could help out?? I wish, as has been said before, that we were all nearer to each other

s/e im not sure what you read of my reply when i got the results but i was expecting them on the thursday and the receptionist rang on the monday to say they were back with 'indications' and i need some different ones doing but couldnt fit me in until the 17th im not worrying about it until the 17th [honestly ] she wouldnt tell me what the results had come back as except it didnt say urgent so couldnt be too bad :rolleyes: i really should have rung back and asked to speak to the gp but iv left it too long now so il wait blummin jobsworth receptionists
i hope your muscles are feeling better soon, are you resting enough for them to recover?

sharon how are you doing?? im thinking about you each day still even if i dont mention you every time i am in dont want to bug you constantly asking how things are

oops i only meant to nip in and say goodnight and iv rabbited on as usual

wishing everyone a comfortable and peaceful sleep xxx

Ugh, utility companies! I am so p*ssed at Scottish Power right now. They just sent me and my housemate a bill for £450 for gas and electric just for January, and won't listen to the fact that I'm disabled and on benefit and my housemate can only work part-time. They won't even set up a decent payment plan for us, they want £150 by the end of next week - and neither of us has any cash at all until the following Monday. *headdesk*

cant sleep tonight-my head wont stop -had a look thru thread-whenever we lose a pet its devastating so fully understand the sadness you are feeling.
welcome to any new friends.
have been around but finding it very hard to "talk" -still in an emotional bbubble however hard l try to get out.Everyone around is upset-DDS cant speak without welling up,DH not talking about it but rushing about at top speed keeping busy so not having thinking time.want to write my will and sort things but think l will have to just do it myself!Luckily the dog is next to me and will listen to me all night if need be.
love to all sharon x
