Morning PM and everyone else
Applied for a new AMEX gold card as per Martin's email and got £35.35 tracked in my TopCashBack account already
DAIL news - they took her home visit to assess how she will cope on her own and they said she could live/sleep in one room downstairs with a chemical commode which relatives could empty once a week. What utter rubbish, she would be on a slippery slope there, not being able to go out, upstairs, etc.
Relatives have found somewhere else with bedroom, lounge, kitchen and toilet with communal areas etc. - just need to chip in to get it for her then sell her house - she is NOT going back there! Rant over!If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat

Hi everyone
hope you are all well...
I have been really bad the last while, I feel like I am in a big black hole sinking down further but I am clinging on with my fingertips. It was daddy's 1st anniversary the other day...I miss him so much, in more ways than one. I have never felt so alone
I am sorry for my hit & miss posting, I really am. One day I feel I can post happily away the next I don't want to, I worry what people will think of me, my erratic behaviour. Oh I am such a mess
I was also really worried & quite scared. I found a lump on the base of my skull last week. When I found it it was not sore, then day by day it got so painful at times I thought I was going to pass out. I have suffered from headaches since I was a teenager so nothing new for me, but I have been getting more frequent ones that are very intense. I got huge flash like pains on Tuesday last week then the lump appeared. I now have no feeling on the whole left hand side of my head (my face and ear is fine). It is completely numb
I went to my Dr today and he said that the nerves at the base of my skull are infected and are therefore sending off the wrong signals to my brain causing the numbness. He has prescribed me some anti-d's he assured me that they are only being used as a nerve relaxant not depression.
I am afraid to take them. I have only so far taken the pain relief he gave me......
Anyway, thank you for listening as you always do here xxx
FV - lots of people get anti depressents for other reasons than depression. They can be used to block pain receptors as well as lots of other things. You might be best to take them until the pain eases off.
Read the leaflet that is in the box and it will tell you some of the other uses.
hope you feel better soon.

That's what this place is for, moaning, well one of the reasons, so carry on;)
Well seeing as we are having a moaning session,:D I'll carry it on:cool::cool: I'm deaf in one ear and can partly hear in the other:eek::eek: My own fault really cos I was warned by the doctor a few weeks ago that I got wax in my ears and needed them syringing, but hate it so didn't go and I think the ear popping on the plane shifted it/made it worse so now one ear is totally blocked. Anyways I'm using some stuff so hopefully it won't be for too long and it doesn't affect my drinking:D:D
You need to get your ears checked again. Your ear could get infected if you leave it.
