    Me too, please! Asked before but you said you skipped some (there's tons lol, can we call the next thread Merkins for Money when we've filled up this one, which will take, what, three hours? :rotfl:).
    Have taken kids to sealife cos I'm going to get the use out of these annual passes damnit! - was lacking iron this morning (as we've had no 'diet' food in for the last two days so I've been living off bread and lettuce) and was tired out, decided my most recent sulkie was rubbish,etc etc, came back after taking ferrous tablets and it's actually quite decent, am so negative when I'm tired! Is everyone OK? :) xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    it is a shame that you have to suffer that much pain and immobility at your age ,this can lead to isolation and depression due to the fact that you cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.
    have you spoken to a professional regarding this as when your mood is low you feel the pain more acutely ,unfortunately your personal circumstance with family relationships compound this and if not for oh who appears helpful and understanding given his age i think you would be at a much lower ebb .
    if you have these feeling and are struggling please tell your rhuematology nurse so it can be dealt with.
    i think you are doing tremendously well with the health cards that life has dealt you and maybe this thread is the link you have been looking for as in you have finally found your family.
    hopefully come sept the sunshine will do you good make sure your apartment has a lift and that good transport links to shops ,bars ect are good the more you manage to interact with people the better you will cope
    over the last 3/12 that i have read your posts you really do sound more positive and sorry if i should have pmd this but cagne and babbymoo and a couple of others are in similar health situations and the advice given to you is relevant to them as well it leads to better patient relationships and continuity of care
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    I'm back - missed you all!
    Having dinner now and DH has a gig and going out at 7.30 so not sure if I'll get on much tonight.
    Saucy - not time to catch up properly but hugs and I still can't believe they haven't sorted your vit D out cos that could be making such a big impact on your other problems. grrrr.

  • It's my task next week to sort it...OH is off all week so we should manage a few trips to the hospital. If everything doesn't go wrong, which typically, it does, lol.

    I need to eat something, I haven't yet today. And puppy woke me up at 6am!! It was horrible.

    Anyway...food. Hmm.

    Everyone seems to have had such exciting weekends...

    Sea life was actually great, was expecting it to be heaving and kids to be a pain but it was pretty empty and they were fine, the baby walked all the way round! So I should probably stop calling her a baby :) makes me want another one lol. So the kids are shattered, off now to make milky drinks, oH is on lates so will no doubt be on here half the night! xx

  • Yay company!
    I'm glad it was good. Mexican wants to go and has tickets for us, but him and the tickets are in Spain right now.

    I'm making potato croquettes, just a few. I figured they are light so I could pick at them? Not at all hungry but have a faint tummy ache.

    I was up until 4am, and puppy woke me at 6...not his usual wake up time, but he was excited about something and it was dead cute. Been up since then...just wish I had something to show for it, lol!
