I think I might give up drinking - not because of hangovers but because I get drunk and book holidays :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :j

Hi bubbs :wave:

Thank you to you all who have been asking about me and how I am. Sending your good wishes and hoping I get well soon. It is at this point I feel I owe you all a full explanation of what has happened to date. So here goes

As some of you know I suffer from multi joint osteoarthritis and have done since approx 1982 :eek: as the years have moved on so has the amount of pain I suffer on a daily basis. It never completely goes, it's there all day everyday and certain foods or weather makes it flare up badly. There again a few of you know this as you're sufferers yourselves.

Over 18 months ago I had a full knee replacement. This was a biggie for me but everything is as should be there. Sad part is sleep or rather lack of arises then can come low moods or slight depression.

Anyway, I am taking a cocktail of medication, from slow release morphine capsules, duloxetine, and a few others. Over 2 years ago my doctor put me onto Gabapentin. Once the side effects of sleepiness past all seemed well. My dose was 1 at tea time and 2 at bedtime.

So, for over a month now I've felt not 100% and my lower legs and feet have been swollen up from when I wake, and over night. In other words 24 hours a day. My doctor then decided I should have an extra Gabapentin, taken in the morning. There again side effects of me falling asleep half hour after getting out of bed! :eek:

I've put up with this then decided to stop taking Gabapentin. Infact I did tell a fair friend of mine that's what I was going to do. Now for some reason after a couple of days I just thought to myself, 'right stop them completely' Worse thing I could ever have done.

My doctor had to be called out due to the condition I was in. Trembling, headache, hit, cold, stomache cramps. All part of withdrawal symptoms it seems. I had no idea that I had become so dependant on these tablets.

my doc has made me go back on 3 tablets a day for a few days before I reduce to 2 a day and so on. I am also to go for a review of my meds after I've reduced again or earlier if I'm having problems.

Sorry for the length of this, it wasn't meant to be a preface to my autobiography :rotfl:

Over an hour that took me :eek: sleep is upon me and I'm still behind.

Snap I love the Berlingo and looking forward to seeing party pics when I get that far xx

Afternoon all - ever so slightly hungover :eek:. but oh so worth it!

Popped into Ws cos needed one of their coffees plus a couple of bits - no ice cream or Jamie Oilver sauces (on offer) shop was in shambles. Went to get 4 iced donuts 4 for 3 offer - only had 3. Other items on my list OOS too, Manager apologised and said it due to staff sickness. All the Mags were out of their plastic bags - so no free sweeties either.

Just scoffed a sausage sandwich laced with mayo and mustard, my reliable cure for a hangover.

Happy Anniversary Northern Geezer - hope you are doing well.

Don't blame you about those random door knockers Nanna - had one who tried to convince me that in his professional opinion as an Arborist the large beech tree at the rear of my house had quite a few problems - well it would do as it started life as a sycamore :rotfl:

Enjoy the rest of the day x
