    Good you've got more support melly.
    No useful suggestions on the other issue, but I can empathise as I have a similar issue. Do what feels right for you.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • hugs Mel ... You must do what feels right for you x You can change your mind any time just follow your 'nose' xx

    Relapsed a bit

    New sneaky method is inviting people round then feeding everyone else and saying I will get something later.
    Also had a run of dropping my food that's not conscious but could still be ana related.

    I usually lurk ....but might the relapse be something to do with thoughts of your parent ?

    Hi thorsoak I think it probably is yes.
    Body image started to go a bit sqewif prior which will be last year related and the fact here we go again with OHS PIP. Didn't start to seriously restrict until the pressure to speak to her started

    Then put her out of your mind - and refuse to allow yourself to be guilt-tripped. Your health is far more important than anything else x

    So time for a whinge

    Having to redo OHs PIP that's 12 months early
    HA will be turning our car park into a road so parking will be right by our Windows meaning no privacy this is an issue for guess who?
    He's back to pre hospital levels of anxiety but with added night terrors.

    Hospital again in Sunday for lung appointment (breathing in stomach acid and having your lungs moved to get to your oesophagus cause lung damage)

    It is not letting me post why? it keeps repeating not enough characters so just adding a few more words!!!!!!

    Mel Hugs honey wishing you strength for the next journey of benefit applications - its a nightmare the system is rigged to set up to fail. Even the staff in the job centre have difficulty understanding the system! Red tape of HA and councils . Then the icing on top of the cake NHS and trying to find the correct path for hubby!

    You and I dont just have a T shirt for struggling with the above we have a complete wardrobe !

    Baby steps / big girls knickers/ smile and fake it! Will be sitting in the same carriage as yourself keeping you company for the next stage of this journey!

    So where we are with the lungs is less than 50% capacity
    This was caused by repeated infections following the rupture.

    Apparently he had pneumonia in December as well as dangerously low potassium levels that we didn't think to mention!! :mad:

    Lung doctor said it's COPD nothing could have been done to prevent it bottom half of lungs is just scar tissue.
    Also he has never heard of anyone surviving a ruptured oesophagus

    He would have liked to scan to check but because of a amount he had last year isn't going to as OH should be glowing and at risk of cancer.

    One of our best friends died from COPD
    OH anxiety is through the roof.
