After getting all excited about my dryer kill I put my hand in my pocket just now and found another 5p today has been bountiful

supasick

well i had thirty quid hanging about but i had a minor procedure done at the hospital today. It was really painful and i'm now hanging out on the couch with my trusty hot water bottle. I hit Mr T's on the way home and all i had left was £7.86 so i've chucked that in my pot.

Hi I thought I would tell you my problems hope you dont mind!! Am in my late thirties with 2 kids. Ones 8, ones 18, I feel terrible that im house bound/bed bound all the time! I probably manage to get out the house twice a month:eek: I feel very upset trying to write this but here goes(deep Breath)

I've been on 1/2 prozac since my dad died in 1996. Then it all started to role down hill from there. Slowly over the years up till now I've gained 7 stone in weight, (thats very slowly since 1996).

I also had another baby in 2003 which brought my weight up to 15.7lb's.
when I reached 12.7lb's back in 2000 my old OH started to get me to sleep on the seatte. As he couldnt stand my snoring and thats when I started to feel fatigued all the time.

I'll now zip you forward to last year when I went on holiday with my best friend and we shared a room. Her sister had SLEEP APNEA as a child and she said I had the same syptoms like the heavy snoring, then I stop BREATHING.
After a few months I finally got an appointment with the sleep clinic in the hospital. After loads of checks and tests they said on average I'd had ONE HOUR SLEEP since 2000 and it was now 2011!
I now sleep with a machine and full face mask which blows constant air into my mouth.
This is to keep the airway's open in your neck while your asleep.

Sleep wise I feel much better and I put all this on here so you other ladies/gents get checked out. YOU WILL NOT KNOW YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WAKING UP!! at night as your mind will still be asleep.

Next big thing that is really crippling me is I had an full hysterctomy last August and IVE NEVER RECOVERED FROM IT. I feel like I have permanent flu.

I can bearly walk with out being in pain the doctors dont sort me out the just keep doing more blood test and urine tests and send me home with antibiotics since about christmas time.

A nurse I saw one day said she thinks I have a prolapsed bladder but Ive been waiting months and months for a hospital appointment am at my WITS END!!
None of the doctors I have seen have told me they think I have a prolasped bladder, WHAT DO i DO??

AM SEEING THE DOCTOR TOMORROW HAS ANYONE GOT ANY HINTS OR TIPS?

Other stuff thats wrong with me is I have a under-active tyroid am on 75grams a day of Tyroxine which doesnt seem to anything apart from getting rid of the burning sensation in my feet and legs.
Asthma, Eczema, Anxity,
Insomnia,serve deppression,
anemia,Arthritis,I.B.S,
fatigue,scoliosis,
fibromyalgia,water retention,
constipation,migraines,chronic pain in my back,
Brain fog and I feel sick when I wake up for about three hours.

Thats not all my syptoms but there the main things which are wrong with me.
I had a full hysterctomy because I had really chronic Endometriosis.

After the op the surgeon told me he had to take one of my overies away as it had a non cancerous syst.
So my hormones are now all over the place! (my hormone level goes up and down like a yoyo which plays merry hell with my moods):(

The operation didnt go acording to plan. I have never felt better since I had it done, am constantly needing the loo.
Apart from flushing my usless self down the toliet has anyone got any suggestions??? am pretty desprate:mad:. Best wishes:A

hi

firstly i'm not medical trained - but I do have depression and have had it since my teens there are a couple of things I thought of

1) - i'm on prescription to exercise - I understand you have other issues but in my area we have a team who just work with people who have health issues - they are called health works but each area is different I thought that if you just managed a 5 minute walk ( to start with each day ) it may help with making you feel better especially if your outside as part of this scheme is health walks ( i'm now one of thier walk leaders ) and it really has helped me we have all ages / backgrounds and you will be suprised what we can put to rights in an hour and they are so friendly its somthing to look forward to someone I know told me if I thought people were looking at me ( if i'm having a bad day ) to wear sunglasses & put music on

2) have you thought of talking therapy / C.B.T. again in my area a new scheme has just been set up in fact I start my sessions tomorrow so will keep you posted


I hope this helps in some way

welcome back L.C. - hope you hols was good

NSD for me today - friday seems to be the day I pot money these days

Welcome back LC ...Hope you enjoyed youself .

I'm waiting for the DW to get back... I'm waiting to pounce on her for shrapnel ....She's gone to the big smoke , so should have some sort of change about her person :rotfl: :rotfl:....

Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyy:j:j:j:j ive been so loooooooooooonely but your back so all is well

I think you've made jakes-mum happy LC, she was lost with no partner in crime :rotfl: .

My little DD (the mad haired one), is trying to show me how to do handstands at the moment :rotfl:. "Look daddy", I don't think I'll give it a go though, don't want mammy coming back, discovering daddy's put his back out - or broke his leg .

Happy Potting everyone :j

Lookingtothefuture

50p in the pot today

I am considering "treating" myself to a chest freezer with the cash I hope to pot. Not very glamourous but needed, I only have a small under the cpunter freezer, thats now in the garage. It's jam packed, I can only fit things in there if I use something which wasn't very good the other day when i could have got 24 bread rolls for 60p so although I could probably get a cheap one, I would like a nice a+ energy one to fill up with bargains and home baking. Also in the next year or two I hope that the fruit trees in our garden will start to produce a decent amount of fruit so again I need space to put it all.

Welcome back LC2.

Enjoy your holiday nanto3girls.

Hope you get some support alliboy03 and that you feel better soon.

Now for potting update - a whopping £1.20 roadkill found at the till in Mr. T's cafe. :j I think the member of staff thought he was going to have to call for the paramedics the way I suddenly just dropped down onto the floor. DH didn't blink an eyelid - bet he thought I'd found a 1p

Take care everyone
