Congrats BCS.

I have a UTI so am on antibiotics. My back is also really painful.

Gah.

Congrats, BCS! My stepsister should be finding out soon whether I'm to get another niece or my first nephew in September... sort of looking forward to that.

I'm off to a book signing tonight - Trudi Canavan - and a Eurovision get-together tomorrow, and in the meantime I'm resting up all I can to ease this blasted persistent sinus headache. Curse the weather! Wish me spoons? I'm reading the Spoon Theory during service on Sunday morning, as it's ME/Fibromyalgia/SLE/EDS awareness month...

What lovely news BCS, congrats, and spoons a plenty wished your way, Trialia. Especially for reading Spoon Theory!

The Eurobash sounds great. I love the ESC, have done since I was tiny as my Mum was addicted. She was Estonian, and Estonians love singing. They also have a good record in Eurovision and are in tonight's final.
The guy singing for Romania tonight is British, he's from the smallish town where I live.

Thanks CWTA!

I went on a mad cleaning spree over the bank holiday weekend. However, since then, I have been incapable of functioning in any way. I've even been in bed by 9 every night (which is roughly 6 hours earlier than usual :eek:) and exhausted the rest of the time.

The postman rang the bell this morning and after going downstairs and opening the door and going back upstairs, I was shattered and had to lie down again.

Ugh. Don't like this.

Och know that feeling - hugs...

Hi guys....

Had a bit of an eek moment last night when I couldn't move my right leg upwards or forwards without absolutely horrendous pain in my hip, many people suggested going to the hospital but me being me, didn't go (trying to get cover for the boys at short notice is not easy, trying to get cover AND someone to take me to the hospital, is impossible).

It eventually resolved with the aid of mucho pain killers, a hot bath and some gentle encouraging movements for it to click back (I didn't feel it go out but knew it felt like it needed to click) and all has been fine today.

Just tried one of those online depression tests (a Hamilton test?), apparently I am still severely depressed...personally, I think I should just not take the tests! I know my mental state is not perfect but severely depressed I am not, compared to what I was like at the peak of my breakdown, this is nothing...and normal for me now.

Don't think any online tests are wise these days personally...it's all relative....try and chill...

I'm sorry for butting in, it seems so rude, but I just can't take anything in at the moment.
I've just got a letter through about a psychologist's appointment. I'm worrying quite a bit...has anyone been to one?

Sorry again....

I see a psychologist and he's fab. If it's just for an assessment they might not keep you on anyways. Not least if you're not keen.

But negatives aside take any help they offer cos lots of folk would LOVE to have a psychologist and even if that means going on a waiting list take it. It could be the LBM or give you the LBM you need to make big steps in your recovery..

Crisis line cut backs are doing my head in....otherwise I'm fine. Just in pain from a pulled muscle x 2 nights in my back (2am Sabbath morning had a job getting out of bed!!! Needed juice..though I have to do this somehow...Did it)...and joints keep clicking so don't know if that's anything to be concerned about or not. Back hurts when you say boo to it right now

hello
not been on here for a very long time....usually on OS board;)
Feeling really crappy atm:o
lots of stress with my ASD son who has been found to have Pathological demand avoidance along with a few other difficulties.
We dont get much sleep and am exhausted.
Have had depression since post natal days and it is in the main well controlled but having flare up at the moment:o
Am leaving work next month to concentrate on DS but also because I can no longer tolerate the bullying of my workmates due mainly to the fact that I have to take time off sometimes with my son.
I cant cope with going into work so off sick this week and seeing GP on Weds with the hope she will give me a sicknote for a few weeks.
I tried going in last week but had to hide in the toilets as was tearful and couldnt face sorting patients out.
It will be the end of soooooo much stress for me when I have finished work.
of course being paranoid and vunerable atm I am already imagining what they are saying about me today:(

Thanks for your reply. Looks like I should get used to being assessed, I've got a council assessment tomorrow, then Social Services and finally the psychologist assessment. I'm really nervous...I guess I have to man up for this!

Think I'm having an odd side effect to some medication...keep feeling freezing, but I'll be sweating buckets, literally Usually leaves me looking pretty drained, with spots of rashes and feeling rubbish. Odd thing is, I haven't changed any meds recently.

Feeling very lonely. Without my computer, I'd be the most isolated person ever.

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and isn't suffering too much. I didn't do much for mine...

Noahs Mummy- Please try not to worry about your colleagues. If they are saying anything, they aren't worth thinking about. Taking time off for your son is essential, it's not like your flying off for weekly holidays!

I hope your doctor signs you off, and your flare ends soon. Hugs
