Yes I am sure it is frustrating, but I am sure mudbath will be along to warn you what will happen if you don't rest.
I know you are all getting bored with this, but I don't have anyone else to tell - just had dentist on the phone - my plate has arrived :j so I now have an appointment for 2.20pm.
I was going to ask for more vibes but just checked the posts and likklegibbon's dad needs them more than me right now.
So sending mine to him too.

Not sure what is going on with me at the moment as yesterday I woke up with what felt like restless legs but only in my left hand. As the day progressed the arm started to go numb and I had trouble actually gripping things. I can still hold to an extent but it was interesting trying to cut up the roast potatoes at yesterdays dinner. Then this morning the numbness was still there but it had progressed to my left leg - bit worrying for me now. Although I seem to remember I had this when I first got my CFS and Fibro diagnosis. I have a vivid memory of getting DH to cut up the parsnips because I couldn't get the pressure behind the knife to cut it. So I was wondering Pigpen if I could just have a wee note next to my name to remind me not to overdo it at the moment and to rest up now and again and not go for it hell and leather..

Sending lots and lots of positive vibes for Likklegibbon's Dad and for Crafty's appointment this afternoon. Hope all goes well for both of you.
Since my last post I have:
Showered & hair washed & dried
Got dressed
Dusted the lounge
Did painting with the girls
Made fairy cakes at the same time
Had HM celery soup for lunch
Ate fairy cakes for afters
So not much crossed off the list but feel like I'm doing something. DD2 now safely deposited into bed but we're going out this afternoon to a play centre so hopefully she can get rid of some of her energy. Also taking niece and nephew so SIL can get some work done and IL's (who were having them) can get off a bit earlier to Sunderland (BIL lives there). Should make life easier for me as my niece is 11 now and likes to wander round after DD2 so I might manage to sit down and have a coffee for a bit.:j
Think I'll join in with the HHC with egon and get a bit more of the list done.
Off I go.....0 -

Please please please go to the doctors about your arm or at the very least ring NHS Direct 0845 4647 as numbness down the left side can be a warning sign of a serious problem. Hopefully it is to do with your CFS and Fibro (sympathetic vibes from me, that's horrible for you to deal with) but please check it out to set my mind at rest!
It's not me at the placement love, I think it's Holly.
Nice to see you Jo1972, your home will soon be lovely!
Crafty, glad you got your plate at last!
In my HHC I tidied away/threw away/recycled all the stuff that had been on the LR floor, hung out some wet washing and put away dry washing. I am absolutely pooped now! Going to have some toast and try to recover!
