hello everyone

Well I managed the trip (just) and saw the counsellor, she was ok although she could see the trip was a bit unsettling.

We talked about a few things and she told me if the trip becomes an issue then she would agree I need to see someone closer to home privately. It would be the same cost for one private session as what it costs in taxi fares this centre.

Yes Ann I have been given a 'script for a milder dose of these tablets but can't start them just yet.

My giro has turned up yet, I am due a medical but there is a problem between Dr and Social services so my money might be stopped - I'll wait and see if it comes tomorrow.

Take care all

Gill

gill Glad you made it to the counselling. maybe it would be less stressful to go to one nearer to home though.

I hope your giro does turn up, that is more stress you can do without at the moment isn't it.

Indeed it is Ann, I know I can appeal straight away and get emergency money but hopefully it won't come to that.

I will just wait and see what happens tomorrow - at the moment I am trying to be positive.

Take care

Gill

thank you irene and mary for your words of encouragement xx

thanks for the pm carole xx

Gill it sounds like you would benifit from seeing someone at home! I use to get home visits, but it was years ago. Don't know if they still do them. Worth asking.xx

Carolina ~~~~ xx

My friend is still poorly. She is bleeding from below and still being sick. Having camera up and down Monday going private xx

evening all have just caught up on reading posts on here and would love to send hugs to everyone whom needs them at this time thinking of you all xxxelaine xxx

Hi all, just want to say hi again and hope things get better for all of you - and me lol!
Caroline, hope right prevails and the court case goes well, and hope your health problem is not as bad as you are fearing. Everything comes at once doesn't it?
Carole, special thoughts for your friend, you must be very worried for her.
Gill, hope your giro arrives safely. Money worries are awful aren't they?
Christine, thanks for your post, if you have worries don't be afraid to post, everyone has different problems and no one's is any bigger or smaller than another's. We wouldn't think you are feeling sorry for yourself if you have something worrying you.
Elaine, hugs to you too hon, keep up with the positive thinking.
To all my pals,
Kathy, hope you are adjusting to a quiet time again, and have had a call or text to say he is ok.
Mary, hope your toe is mending and not paining you too much, haven't seen you around so a bit worried.
Caz and Deanna, hope you feel better soon.
Betty, hope life is going smoothly for you and yours,
and to anyone I haven't mentioned, doesn't mean I don't care, just I am running out of steam.
love to all
Lizxxx

Hi all just off to bed with a stinking headache sleep we and may all you dreams be happy ones
Rachxxxxx

Hello everyone,

First of all love to everyone who is suffering.

Got a major problem at the moment that I can't bring myself to discuss yet.

One area of pain does seem to be responding to treatment so fingers crossed.

Going to see surgeon within next four weeks for update on the screw up..hmmmm not holding breath for a good review.

Had the problem with yobs tonight, see 'called the police thread', so that has kept my mind off all the cr*p for a couple of hours.

Still keeping true feelings from hubby and I know I shouldn't but he has enough on his plate.

My INR levels have dropped so the Warfarin has been increased. I am off aspirin for 2 weeks so I can take anti-inflammatories. Got another blood test on Monday and both arms are still bruised from last Tuesday. (Nurse is gonna love me..not).

My drug drawer looks like Boots the chemist at the moment. I put in a repeat scrip form, crossed off one drug which I don't take anymore added can I please have DF118s but OH picked up a huge bag from the Chemist cos they refilled all 9 drugs on my list even though I only had them a week ago!

So not only did I get my DF118s but my 100 usual painkillers, temazepam, rosuvastatin, cipralex, aspirin, warfarin in 5mgs x 2, 1mg x 2, 3mgs x2 and .5mgs x 2

Good job scrips are free here :-)))

I hope Deanna and Caz get better very soon.

Anyone waiting for tests - good luck.

I hope you all get to cope with your personal demons, if you do perhaps I could pass over a couple of mine.....not really I wouldn't wish those on anyone :-(((((

Love Sue xx

Morning everyone, Elaine, do try and give up smoking if your cough is that bad. Lunch sounds nice!!! You have not missed Deanna, there was a thread up yesterday saying she was unwell and YCaz has a nasty cold/cough.
Hope they both feel well enough to join us soon.

Sue, sorry you are feeling under the weather and don't feel you can confide in OH. It is a heavy burden to bear on your own I am sure. I do hope that you will be feeling better soon.

Morning all, Elaine if I can quit smoking cold turkey, anyone can!! for me it's 16 years since a bad cough and pain in my chest scared me into quitting. The key is- IMHO -to want to quit. sending you big hugs and positive encouragement.
Sue I hope you can sort out your issue to take some of the pressure off, feel free to unload when you're ready.
Dear Caz and Deanna, hope you're ffeeling better soon,
Christine welcome, this is a very supportive thread, even though we unload on here, it doesn't seem like a big moan, everyone respects others concerns, and some lighter posts are helpful.
Joyce hope your cold is better, I've had great success in shortening the symptomss with a "neti pot", basically a nasal wash which also clears the bacteria from the sinuses. felt a bit like I was drowning in the Atlantic the first time I used it, but has really helped.
Carolina, thinking of you, hope your stress can be reduced soon.
Liz, be good to yourself . . . . clear another bag today - them's orders LOL.
Carole hugs for your friend, must be frightening for her.
Gill sending you hugs, glad the scripts arrived.
Jules,glad to see you.
Rachel hope the headache abates soon, that problem I totally understand.
Whomever I've missed, forgive me,
love and hugs to all,
Mary
