Afternoon!

Called NHS direct as the facial pulling sensation was screaming stroke-symptoms to my over-anxious hyperchondiac brain, even though my rational brain kept testing myself for facial weakness, slurred speech and not being able to lift my arms above my head, none of which applied. I still managed to whip myself into a frenzy and even started packing for a hospital stay, all the while telling myself not to be so stupid as it was probably the eye strain causing the rest of the nerves to tense up.

Decided that just in case, I would carry on packing for this supposed hospital stay and get showered and dressed in case I was told to go to A&E.

In any event she told me from the symptoms it wasn't giving her any cause for concern as it sounded like the 'trigeminal' muscles that can pull in your face if there's pressure like with severe eye strain, she also told me to get my glasses adjusted so that they were more comfortable as that could be making it worse.

At which point I burst into tears because I felt like such a fool calling up, then she was nice to me again which made it worse. She did say to get to the doctors about my increasing anxiety though as she said that sounded like the most serious thing, I was considering it anyway but having laid in bed for a solid hour this morning flitting between sobbing my heart out thinking I was having a stroke and feeling catatonic and unable to move from fear, I think she's right!

I can't keep on like this, it's no way to live. Feeling very alone though so could I have a :grouphug: please?

Sorry to go on

Have a huge hug from me x

You did the right thing ringing NHS Direct. Thats what they are there for.

Go and make yourself a cup of tea. Switch off your computer/laptop/phone/tv and get some rest. This will fix itself in time, but if you dont rest up, it will take longer.

GO!!

xx

Thank you all so much for your help with it, I would never even have thought to make it if it hadnt been for you guys!

I did 1 x 600ml pot, got quite a large nobette out of it and lots of toast/bacon sandwich size nobettes too.

Got 2 more 600ml pots to do, I wanted to do just one to start with because I didnt know just how messy it would get!

Woohoo!

She is not looking forward to actual presentation but is looking forward to seeing her old friends as has been so busy writing up lectures and revising, whole of hols as med school go back week early for exams which start on monday for 3 days. :eek:
She is going to come back for a few days as none of her uni friends will be in halls at all next week and can then take a well earned rest. I am going to bring back towels and bedclothes on saturday and have them washed for her to take back, just fingers crossed no bad weather gets in the way of plans as then they will be stuck down here. :eek:

I don't know about just being a Ts aholic, I've already starting peeking at the Boots thread for the gossip on the start of the 75% sale. I really don't need anything but it's been a yearly ritual for many years now. And it's nice to find other people are as mad as me. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh and tip for unopened letters have you held it up to a window yet? Often you can pick out a few words like "Congratualtions", not sure how I know that one.

Tiny, how devious! I wouldn't of thought that anyone on here would do that! Do you boil the kettle as well?

Hi kadison, I can put the list in my reserved post #9 on the 1st page ...you can't still update it, I'll just copy & paste it from your posts, if you want?:)

Cheers that'd be good, shall I just do what I'm doing then and post the link when I've made any changes?
