Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening ..... Again!

Well I certainly wouldn't mind playing hospitals ........ would be very happy just lying in bed being administered to :lol:

morning everyone...

aw, alicia, it will be lovely to have grandchild around. i bet she'll make you feel young again (or maybe just really really old! :lol: ). only joking :D

busyish day - got to teach and have article deadline, then want to go to local pub quiz and suspecting all this is not going to be possible. can feel am overdoing it and prob heading for a crash but have been so miserable at home on my own i almost don't care :x

hope you are all ok today.

Hello Everyone :D

Oh please can I play hospitals too Alicia ? :nurse: Like Katie, though, all I want to do is lie down in a bed, no Duplo-castles for me :lol:

Does that mean you're still feeling achey and horrible Katie? How are you today? :?

Trees, I know just what you mean about knowing what you're doing is too much but doing it anyway - it's the chicken without a head syndrome :shock: Take care of yourself :smiley:

I'm still full of migraine but not as bad as yesterday, thank goodness.

Had my hair cut and it's okay I think, although it makes me look even paler than I thought I was :ghost: (too much face on show!)

And, I managed better at the gallery today - (oh crumbs, they're advertising a clinical migraine study now :shock: ) , my brain seemed to be slightly more in gear , thank goodness.

Very tired now so will go and put my feet up :zen:

Just had to post this:

\"When is she going home Mum?\"

:lol: :lol:

Oh that's [b:ac48a40eef]wonderful[/b:ac48a40eef] !!! :lol:

Poor old Max Dog :roll: :lol:

Thats a great photo. Max dog must be a placid dog.

Just want to say Hiya to you all.

Hi All Katie hope your feeling a bit better now Alicia love the pic of Max Dog take care in the playing department dont overdo it. Trees hope your feeling better as well cant remember who got hair cut but hope you like it got mine done a couple of weeks ago and must admit it was a bit like a bowl on the head job it's looking a bit better now

Now the best bit of today went to doctor and yippee he was brilliant sat and for a change listened to everything I had to say (he was a new different doctor) he also checked all my records from before out come although a lot can be attributed to past diagnosed illnesses he is convinced of FIBROMIYALGIA/CFS as he admits he is not an expert in this field he is to refer me to rheumotology at hospital asap giving details of neurology results to be honest I could have hugged him I'm sure I read on here of others with fibro diagnosis as well so success at last someone believes me and as hubby was with me he will maybe take more on board I will hold onto this doctor for dear life as he is the first in over 2 years who has helped take care all and if I've missed anyone sorry but been very tired as it was an early morning appointment and brain not in gear hugs Mo :D :D :D

Hi everyone

Ha Ha ..... reckon MD will be leaving home at this rate :lol:

Well that was a horrible day Still feel yuk :yuk: (thanks for asking Daisy) ...... if someone had told me I had been run over I would honestly have believed them ..... where the heck does the pain and aching come from ..... and my head is bad too Daisy Glad yours is a little easier.

Oops ...... mind the gap ..... can't remember how to close it :roll:

Have somehow got to get up to London tomorrow to have the final treatment on my flaming tooth .... can't cancel it for a third time. I shall just have to get taxis everywhere and blow the cost Goodness knows how I am going to manage that, and then be mauled around too :yikes:

Oh that's very nice ... there is now an ad for bad breath :evil: They sure are quick on the draw with them.

Wonder if I mention [size=18:4216fcbd72]sausages[/size:4216fcbd72] or something similar we will have an ad for them .... testing, testing, testing ........... :lol:

It's okay folks, I'm quite sane really :roll:

Take care everyone :D

That's great news Mo, not your diagnosis but that your doctor is doing his job. Now you can start to work on learning to live with your limitations and work round them.

There are a lot of posts on pacing, and that really is the only way to move forward, and lots of rest. Unfortunately your body is in control at the moment and until you get some sort of understanding going with it, you will just have to do what it says.

We ahve all been there and some of us still are.

Welcome to the club.

Sausages, mmmm, really nice. We had sausages last night wiith mashed potatoes and baked beans, but it is amazing what recipes you can do with sausages. My favourite sausages are thick pork bangers...............................................No, no sausage adverts yet. :roll:

AWW Katie I do feel sorry for you having to fit all that travel in as well as going to the dentist one good thing about the false nashers no treatment needed

Thanks Alicia at least I've found the right club to Also love big pork sausages either with mash or a sauce with creamand onion with pasta u

u

sually suffer afterwards but boy is it yummy at the time

Hi Mo :D

Just seen your post. I'm so pleased that you have found a really good GP and that he is obviously going to be tremendous support to you in the future.

Sorry that you have been diagnosed with CFS/ME/FM ..... but as you say the majority of us suffer fron fibromalgia as well which is a pain in the pants literally :roll:

So as Alicia says ....... [color=blue:04fb7b43b1][size=24:04fb7b43b1]Welcome to the Club[/size:04fb7b43b1] :D [/color:04fb7b43b1]

My neck and shoulders hurt tonight. i really shouldn't pick up a 5 year old and swing her round - but she is soooo infectious. she gives me such a lift it is worth the slump afterwards.

She told me yesterday she loves me and nicknamed me 'Yappy' and her grandad 'Faffy'. That just says it all :roll:

Hello Mo - yes, I second (and third and fourth!) what the others have said - it helps so much to have a good GP on your side :ok:

Yes, fibro often goes with ME - hopefully will get a bit better when the weather warms up :star:

As Katie says, it definitely is a pain in the pants, but at least you know what you're dealing with now :hug:

Morning everyone :cheerup:

Feeling semi-human this morning so thought I'd try and catch up before I run out of steam again :drool:

Oh Katie, good luck with all your travelling and dentist appointment today, what a pain (sorry no pun intended) when you are feeling rough make sure you put your feet up and rest as soon as you get back home, I'll have to send you a large pot of clotted cream for your tea tonight .

Trees, what a weekend :shock:

I think I would have completely lost the plot if all that had happened to me, I hope you have recovered from the shock of it all :cheerup:

Great news that you have at last found a sympathetic GP Mo :doctor: , I had the same problem so I know how you feel, it's such a relief to have someone you believe is actually listening to you isn't it :lol:

Alicia, or should I say \"Yappy\", that is so sweet :lol: I hope you and MD :dog: don't overdo it.

I hope your head is better today Daisy, whenever I get a banging head I feel like I need some good old fashioned fresh sea air to clear it :puff: and blow away the cobwebs, there's nothing better is there :wink:

Trees, I missed your car saga because I didn't read back far enough. i hope you have recovered now.

I don't know about you others but even if I am not feeling too bad I simply have no reserves when something unexpected crops up and I just get into panic mode.

Adam worked all day yesterday and then drove Gabriella home last night - 100 miles each way. He telephoned at 10.30 last night to say he had a burst pipe and water was cascading through the house. I knew he needed to turn the stop cock off quick but he couldn't find it even though I told him it would be under the sink in the kitchen - where the water main enters the house.

So he went into panic mode and started yelling at me - what could I do, 3 miles away in my pyjamas. So then he hung up!!!!! :shock:

Phoned back half an hour later and he had located it and the water was off but it was all dripping through the ceiling and running down the light fittings :shock:

Obviously he will report it first thing today but what a to do.

It never rains but it pours (or drips) :roll:
