  • And the pain is back. Really wish I knew what this was. It's really sore pressure behind the eyebrow bone. Probably sinuses but I wish it would go away.

    Dinner is the rest of the pasta bake I made earlier so nice and easy.

    Aww, I'm sorry you are feeling rough. My fatigue is really rough at the moment, it's starting to get in the way of work and studying.

    In your position, I would probably get the hotty bottle and go to bed until it had all passed. But then, I'm a wuss.

    Thanks. You are not a wuss, well if you are so I am, taking to be with a hot water bottle is my default remedy for everything. Nothing soothes me better than bed and a hot water bottle.
  • I have taken two ibuprofen and the pain is easing a bit.

    Dinner has been had. Kids are showered and ready for bed and school.

    Just got to sort my lunch and bag, then it's a shower and into bed with a hot water bottle ;)

    I don't know about your experience, but I find getting medication a total nightmare. My doctor recently sent me materials for depression instead of, you know, CBT... Which was what she was supposed to be sending me.

    Have a good night!

    I just have prescription strength painkillers nothing else. Really don't think the Dr knows what to do. I suppose if I pushed it I might get something else but most of the time I manage between resting, hot water bottles, baths and good old moaning lol

    Hi Madchickenlady (love the name)

    I too think I have been lucky but then I do only work part time and have plenty of time to rest.

    I know people who have it much worse.
