Has the forum got M.E again ??

Okay Alicia ... Look forward to seeing you back :D

Thank you again everyone for your good wishes ...... still very tired but never mind ...... I daresay it will pass :roll: But another jar (large size) of Horlicks would be much appreciated Kristal :ok:

It's strange how the snow has bypassed you both Kristal and Daisy .... maybe it's all that hot air coming from your direction :lol: Just imagine being marooned in a freezing car for all those hours though :shock:

Julia, do hope you have recovered from your day out ..... it's always a bit daunting isn't it and folk really often just don't seem to understand that it is a worry for us. Having said that I hate it when people keeping asking if I am okay ... so they can't win either way really :?

Have a reasonable weekend everyone :D

Hi Trees :lol:

I know exactly what you mean because I feel the same if I have been \"away\" for a few days :?

The best thing is to just jump right in and not to worry about playing catch up.

Lets face it, half the time we don't know where we are anyway :shock: :lol: :shock:

:lol: ..... particularly the second one :lol: :blush:

Oh Dale we definitely are two of a kind. I was at the Doc today and she says i have a frozen shoulder, i have to go for physiotherapy. :roll:

It will be funny to see you celebrating a goal without putting your arms up :lol:

Honestly, you two ... don't know what we are going to do with you :roll:

It's interesting what your doc :doctor: says about your pain being a common problem after a whiplash injury though Dale ... he seems to know his stuff. Hope the injection eases things a little ..... but as you say, the duration should be shorter than a frozen shoulder ...... that can go on for some time .... sorry Teedie

You'll just have to keep your arms to yourself during the footie match for a change :football: :D

Teedie, hope your shoulder sorts itself out soon ...... can be very painful, especially during the night, so have the painkillers at the ready

Hi there James :D

Where's you been then :?Hope all is okay and that you are devising some absolutely amazing 3D computer thingys :D

Daisy and Kristal :?

Just a thought :huh:

You are remarkedly alike in your postings and humour ..... and both live in the same neck of the woods :?

Are you sure you are not actually the same person :whistle: :smiley:

Hi There All

Thanks for your good thoughts, but.................................. the day out was cancelled.............................due to heavy snow overnight - darn it :roll:

But, i didn't get a peaceful day after all that......................................the school and college was closed so i had the kids round my heels :?

You just can't win, can ya :roll:

Went to the Docs today, I felt like a hypochondriac but she was very nice. :wink:

I mentioned about the fact i have had joint stiffness and pain for nearly a year and the fact no-one i know who has ME has had joint swelling so i asked if i would benefit from a referral to rheumatology.

She said she would repeat my bloods and if ESR or CRP were raised, she would refer me. She is testing me for Lupus as i have this barely noticeable rash on my cheeks too.

She gave me sleeping tablets (Zopiclone 3.75mg) and wanted to increase my Citalopram but i wasn't keen as they made me woozy at first and i drive in my job.

I have been having bad stomach ache (like i have an ulcer) It is relieved when I eat so have been prescribed (Omeprazole) stomach tabs.

I mentioned my sore shoulder and she examined it and said i have a frozen shoulder, so i have to go for physiotherapy.

She offerred me a sickline but i declined. :roll:

Aw Julia - what a bummer :roll: You're right you can't win :wink:

Katie I don't like hearing you are down in dumps, you are always there to pick us all up when we are poorly.

You deserve some pampering :cheerup: :choc: :bubbly: and a great big :cuddle: and :kiss:

Alicia - hurry back, we miss you :wah:

Hi Trees :D

Glad you are feeling well-ish :lol:

I know what you mean about trying to catch up on the posts - i've just had a quiet couple of days and then i logged in tonight and theres about 10-11 red flags flashing at ME :shock: :?

The trouble is.....................i'm nosy and like to know what everyone's been up to :roll: :lol:

I've been trying to plan my veggie plot for this year, so i've been having to use what little brain power i do have, on doing that which is why i've been absent - i don't have enough energy for both, unfortunately

Concentrating for any length of time really zaps the life out of ME

Anyway Trees - its really good to hear from ya :wink:

pants - weather

Hi Teedie :D

I hope you and your daughter both had a wonderful day yesterday :D

This illness and all its many, many symptoms do make you feel like a hypochondriac, doesn't it But i shouldn't worry about that :roll:

Well its good that she is going to re-take the bloods to check you ESR and CRP levels, isn't it

Lupus is also another condition that have many of the same symptoms as ME, Fibromyalgia, MS, RA, PMR, etc, etc...................... :?

And then nearly every doctor, nuerologist, rhuematologist, etc, etc have differing opinions on what they think you actually have :shock:

No wonder most of us are confused when the medical profession can't even agree - but then many of the conditions don't have any specific tests to confirm or discount diagnosis :roll:

:shock: Sorry Teedie - i don't really know where all that came from :oops:

I hope you start to feel a little better soon with your new meds for your stomach :P and that you don't have to wait too long to see the physio for your shoulder

Make the most of every opportunity you can to get some rest, won't you :wink: That way, hopefully, you won't need to go back for the sickline :roll:

Take care Teeds :wink:
