Here we can all be heard for a little while

Aw, thank you Katy. I know you are right, I have my doctors email specifically because I am on their vulnerable persons list which means they expect me to need extra care. He wouldn't mind at all but I still feel like I am taking up his time unnecessarily. I am sleeping all of the time is hardly a medical emergency, and the only way to tell if it's an immune disorder flare is through blood tests which costs him money and arrrrgh, guilt if it turns out there is nothing wrong. I may try to email him in the morning with numerous "Sorrys!" in the mail. It isn't ordinary sleep as such because I simply can't stay awake. I fell asleep sitting up a few minutes after my carer left and WaSp sent me back to bed. I just can't keep my eyes open.

The escapee is teasing me! You can't go overdue, she has an audience waiting for her! I may go pop with excitement myself if she doesn't appear soon!

We are all excited Katy!
People think cos I had to make the decision not to have kids this means I hate them (very wrong, my neighbour friends know this and their 2 year old is always zooming over for a love lol)

I will be ok WaS not responding to anything today and and and I am going to be wearing gok yellow flowered peddle pushers and a stripey vest so new clothes.

WaS - don't feel bad about asking for support. If you need blood tests, then you need blood tests. Look at it as helping keeping a phlebotomist and lab staff in jobs because if people weren't having blood tests, they'd have to find other jobs.

So I've had little sleep. Every time I was close to dropping off DH would do something to wake me up (he was happily sleeping). I took Tramadol for the pain and just managed to get to sleep when DH's alarm went off because sometimes he has to send work emails out at 5am. After that he decided he couldn't get to sleep so kept waking me up, then he decided he'd just start work early and sent DA dog up to sleep on the bed with me and he decided now would be a good time to lick his paws, wash his face, lick his bits, cuddle into me, decide that actually he wants to see the door to defend me from intruders...And now I can't go back to sleep while DA dog snores away happily. Grrr.

Why is it that whenever you're told to adopt a healthy lifestyle eg for perimenopause, the guidance is to avoid caffeine, alcohol and stress. Personally speaking it's the avoidance of caffeine, alcohol (and chocolate) that causes me stress. I have also decided that libido is overrated.

WaS, rather than seeing negative blood test results as a waste of time and money, see them for what they are.......the elimination of some possible causes of your tiredness.

Symptoms like tiredness can be caused by any number of things, even in someone without all your complex health issues, so it's necessary to start eliminating possible causes. It would be sheer good luck to hit on the cause straight away. So if blood tests come back negative, then they are a number of possible causes eliminated. It's all part of the mystery that is WaS!

I bet your GP loves you contacting him! How much more interesting you are than the usual round of throat and chest infections he sees every day! He can really hone his diagnostic skills on you!

You're doing him a favour! You're his CPD and tedium-reliever!

I agree WaS, give your doctor something interesting to think about! And Code's right, if people stop having blood tests because they don't want to waste anyone's time/money then the poor phlebotomists will be looking for work!

Katy, hope you're not feeling too uncomfortable. I will keep my excitement low key as I went 2 weeks overdue and know how annoying it is when people constantly ask if the baby's here yet. 'Why yes, he arrived 2 days ago I just couldn't be bothered to tell anyone!' He was lazy coming into the world and he's still lazy!

Hope you manage to sneak in a nap at some point Code!

Look after yourself Melly, like the others have said, you don't want to come to any harm. Is there anything you can do to relax a bit?

ETA: Flybaby, your shed sounds lovely! If I had a shed (I'd have to have a garden first...:() I'd want it to be in lovely bright colours!

Hi Birdie85, nope when I relax I will collapse so gotta keep on keeping on.

Had another read through, its going to be so easy to prove harassment they are doing it for me.

Today I am not responding to anything they send through ( i am doing an invoice for refund of service charge though same as i did last time)

It is my friends birthday party on Saturday and I HAVE to go! She was very poorly around the time of our wedding but still managed to come along for an hour, so escapee has had a good talking to and is under strict instructions to stay put until after the party. Any time after that is fine to make an appearance!

Our shed is boring green, I would love a colourful one! Found an empty wasps nest in it the other day. They are so delicate and cleverly made, but I'm afraid that is the only positive thing I can say about wasps. We also have lots of frogs living under the shed, the young ones are so cute! I have to herd them out of the way when Little Sod is about though as he is partial to a bit of frog.

Hope DA dog has stopped snoring Code. In the right situations I find dog snoring so comforting. I like to think that they are totally relaxed and happy. Little Sod has nightmares, we think based on his past, so when he is soring I know he is feeling happy and will sleep well.

I must remember to make banana bread for the fort later, got loads to use up!

Melly, here's an idea!

It seems to me that your poor brain could do with a bit of rest from thinking. Why not have a nice day out today? To do anything you want!
Maybe visit a local beauty spot?
Or go and feed the ducks in the park? And have an ice cream while you're there?
Have a spot of lunch while you're out?

Just to give your mind a spring-clean and refresh your thoughts and feelings?

It can only be of benefit!

Katy - normally I find his snoring adorable. He also has nightmares, again we don't really know what went on in his past but we reckon he's had his tail pulled really hard as he doesn't like people touching it.

Our walk wasn't very successful today either. We went 3 for 3 with dogs that tried to attack him. The first one we walked by, owner smiled and said he was friendly, then the dog attacked DA dog. Second one pulled it's owner over and went for him and the third was a tiny dog so she just growled and pulled but didn't get near him. Doesn't seem to have bothered DA dog who is giving me a big dopey dog grin with his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth, but I am grumpy now.

Today I am going to be green and live in a bin and my name is Oscar.
