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

Morning everyone :D

Just a quickie before I dash off for the train :roll:

Oh that was a real pain Alicia ..... poor Adam .... I hate anything to do with water leaks :shock: ( In my next life, I am going to marry a plumber :lol: ) ...... but I don't really know what he expected you to do about it at that time of night. Why is that that our 'children' still like to inform us of all their problems :roll:

Hope everyone has a reasonable day. How I would love to breath some lovely sea air you lucky West Country gals :surfer:

Have just put on a pair of trousers that I haven't worn for yonks .....and boy are they tight :shock: Anyone got a shoehorn handy? Feel quite depressed now :wah:

Speak later .... if I am spared :roll:

Good luck Katie - hope you manage it all without feeling too awful-

yes, definitely put your feet up when you get home with Kristal's clotted cream (I'll send some Dorset scones and strawberry jam )

Take care :cheerup:

Oh Alicia - I really hate it when people ring me in a state, and there's nothing you can do; it sends my stress-levels sky-high :shock:

Why do they do it :roll:

I've put on a pair of jeans today that I haven't worn for ages and I'm sitting here trying to tell myself they're fine ( :shock: ) - I think I bought them during a very thin phase :?

I think they'll have to be changed for my usual baggyish ones very soon :lol:

Oh Alicia - you're having a really tiring time :?

Well done for coping with a financial adviser :shock: (I go glazed at the mention of one !)

Hope you can rest tomorrow (and the next day, and the next day!) :zzz:

I rang the benefits people yesterday to see if there was any news after my medical (5 weeks now!).

Very helpful lady said her supervisor (!) said that I've \"passed \" (failed??!!) the SDA medical and they've signed me off until - wait for it -

[b:cefe405c6f]2020[/b:cefe405c6f] :shock: :shock:

I will be[b:cefe405c6f] 65 [/b:cefe405c6f]by then :shock: so they're obviously not optimistic about a cure :lol:

I must have come across as even worse than I thought I was :yikes: :

I told the lady I wanted that in writing, and I'll believe it when I get the

letter :roll:

Do you think that maybe they'll leave me alone now or will I start getting stairlift ads :nahnah:

Oh that's good news Daisy (I think) :shock:

At least once you get it in writing then it will be one thing you won't have to fret about anymore :wink:

I hope you don't eventually go [i:ef82bf28fe]bang[/i:ef82bf28fe] Alicia when you eventually come down off the adrenalin :?

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all - sorry i've been awol but have been having a bit of a rough time - i really hate what is happening to me because of this rotten illness - as you all do

I'm sorry that most of you have also had your own troubles too - Trees with her car, Lou Lou with her chest, Daisy with her migraine, Mo with her hubby, Kristal with the Kaftan's, Katie and the dentist, Alicia and son Adam's water problems, Dale and her impending surgery - only Teedie seems to be okay-ish at the moment (long may it continue :wink: )

Sorry if i've forgotten anyone or anything - am feeling completely :weird: and :erm: and :bruised: again!

Hope you all start feeling better soon (perhaps when the weather warms up we will all pick up again - i really hope so :wah: )

Nearly forgot - had a letter today from the ME clinic to say that they got my........ :huh: [i:5292878094]thingy[/i:5292878094] :roll: - and that i'm on the waiting list - so thats a step further forward I suppose :roll:

Take care all and i hope to be back to my not-quite-normal-but-wacky self soon :roll:

Hi Julia :lol:

Nice to see you back, I hope that you feel better soon :cheerup: :cheerup:

Hello Julia - sorry you're having a rough time

Well, at least you're on the waiting list now - oh dear, doesn't it all take a-g-e-s :roll:

I do hope you start to feel a bit brighter soon :fairy: :wizard: :cheerup:

Evening all :D ..... (please note the shining white very expensive gnashers :roll: )

Well I survived London and the dentist ..... came straight home and straight to bed ... out like a light for two hours :zzz:

Don't feel too bad at the mo, but this illness sure is an odd one .... yesterday I was in loads of pain, today painfree (apart from usual sore shoulders) but boy have I felt wonky and dizzy ..... made a big mistake in coming down on the escalator from the ladies loo in John Lewis ..... was holding on for dear life :shock:

Alicia, can I please borrow your financial adviser cos I am now well and truly broke:yikes: .....and my bank balance is now zilch :shock:

Daisy and Kristal I really did appreciate the Dorset scones and Devonshire clotted cream tea on my return ....... thanks a bunch for organising that :ok:Am quite partial to Dorset knobs too Daisy ...... in fact I could tell you a funny story about those but tis a bit rude :lol: :blush:

Daisy, I'm so glad that you are able to laugh at being signed off until 2020 :shock: This ME thingy is obviously going to be rather a slow process then ........ :sadface:

Lovely to hear from you again Julia ...... sorry to hear that you have been a bit on the :weird: :yuk: side. Hope you begin to feel a bit better soon

Oh we now have the ads for ..... clotted cream and [size=18:e92893e108]sausages :lol: [/size:e92893e108]

Oh Katie, what beautiful, white, sparkling teeth :D

Ugh, I know the escalator feeling (actually the lift-feeling isn't much better :weird: ).......glad you enjoyed the cream tea; my imagination is working overtime re. Dorset knobs! :shock:

Sounds as if you need a nice long rest after all that excitement - well done for doing it though; now you can forget London for a while :ok:

Has anyone any tips for aching neck and painful shoulders (I think that's why I'm getting these migraines )....I'm trying to sit properly while I type but, oh it really hurts Maybe that's the fibro ?? :roll:

Roll on 2020 when apparently I'll be well :lol:

Good evening everyone had a fair day today went for walk with bobby not much fun as it was that horrible drizzling rain so we got soaked home to change then decided to rest up only to have a house full of visitors all afternoon so exhausted speaking never thought you could get so tired just having a conversation, am now snuggled up with jim jams and keeping quiet haha

Katie love the flashing smile bet your purse is feeling the pain now

Alicia sorry about your water nightmare hope everything dried up now

Julie not sure if I should say well done in being signed off till your 65 but at least if it stops having the stress of medicals that will be something

hope your feeling a bit better now

Kristal and Daisy sorry I missed the cream teas remember my invite next time, hope the head and shoulders have eased a bit Daisy I wake up every morning with a headache and sore shoulders have spent a fortune on pillows last time just last week and makes no difference although fresh air does help sometimes hope everyone is having a restful evening take care love Mo

A nice friendly chiropractor. :D Failing that a nice warm wheat bag. Failing that a daughter who did a year of beauty therapy. :roll:

Failing that - oblivion (and I don't mean the Alton Towers ride either :weird

Hello Mo - right, your cream tea has been ordered :tea: :ok:

Yes, it's been all cloudy and drizzly down here as well, very gloomy

As you say, hopefully I won't be called for another medical for a while !

(I'm trying desperately to look on the bright side here :? )

I think a hot bath seems to be the only thing that helps the neck and

shoulder pain - oh what a pain it is :roll:

Thanks for your tip re. pillows; a physio once told me I should sleep with 2 rather than one (pillows that is, not people :lol: ) and it made it far worse :roll:

So I'll stick to my nice comfy one

Oh hello Alicia - thanks ; I'm going to stick a hot water bottle on my neck ! (haven't got a microwave :roll: )

Take care all :cheerup:

Evening all. :D I feel like - well I don't really know what I feel like, all squishy squashy and wibbulee wobberlee. :weird:

My doctor has given me some low dose beta blockers for my palpitations and jitteries and adrenaline rushes. Methinks my thyroid medication might need adjusting, I will find out in 2 weeks time.

I have stopped feeling like the sky is falling on me (Chicken Licken eat your heart out) and I don't feel like I am on Speed any more but I feel like a cake that someone has sat on. :silly:

Talking of cake, where are those buns I made earlier:run: :cupcake: :tea:

Remember to wrap it in a tea towel first Daisy, otherwise you will blister your neck to add to your problems. Wheat bags are good because you can mould them to your contours. Could you get one from that nice alternative shop on the corner opposite the post office?

:D
