    I get cold too. Into bed with the electric blanket on full. Then busy with my IPad. Soon I am warm as toast and happy as Larry (whoever Larry may be).

      i just wondered if a lot of people had forgotten about the electric blanket 

      in these days of central heating and duvets .i use a little heat pad on my hips ,with a ice pack on my thighs other wise i get to hot .

      but a lot of people say being warm helps .so just thought id jog memories. today i feel like someone has pulled me down the stairs by my ankles and my spine has hit every step . i am so sore .

      i just seem to go from one fibro problem to another . hugssssssssssss to all fellow sufferers

      Yes Tiswas, you need lots of 

      ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((. HUGS. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

      and very well done. I know how very uncomfortable that can be without fibro and how much ingenuity and determination and courage it takes to resolve the problem.

      its very stressing because people who also have aspergers syndrome

      get very stressesd about routine and when things dont work to plan esp our bodies the stress becomes blown sky high .and makes everything worse .

      including pain .sad

      Thank you Tiswas. She is, I hope, sleeping and I must do the same. But you dear Tiswas are so often a stranger to sleep. My prayer is that you may find five hours true sleep untroubled by pain.

      Thank you Tiswas. Yes a major scare. 

      Annie's memories of yesterday are back. We are waiting for appointments to the Stroke Clinic and the Memory Clinic. 

      Annie is getting back to her usual self. We are apprehensive about the eventual diagnosis.

      I am suffering from reaction today, but that will pass. You will know when you see me active in the forum once more.

      Thank you for your kindness.

      apparently if you can stand on one leg in means you havnt had a stroke .

      yes its funny you said the other week annes shoulder was playing her up 

      i dont know why they cant do tests on people when there in hospital instead of stressing them by making them wait for appointments.

      i can understand how much you feel it today its delayed shock 

      a kinda of stunned feeling . 

      wishing you and your precious anne well and i do hope the news is good

      i lost my memory once thru aneima  it was very scary , 

      i didnt no who i was were i was or anything .so i do no how scary it is 

      i am so glad that like mine annes memory came back .

      Thank you Tiswas. Annie said more than once both during the lost memory and after how frightening it is/was.

      Yes, I reconned it was shock. It is gradufally lifting. Two hours in bed after lunch helped. 

      As as to doing the tests quickly, the paramedics said go to hospital and get scans and bloods in two hours instead of three days; A&E doctor said get them tomorrow or the next day; GP says get appointments by post this week or next. That creeping delay begins to wind me up all over again. I shall be seeing the GP stress. neutral She will not if me tranquillisers happily biggrin after dangerous side-effect following the Cypro antibiotic  eek last Summer.

      we wouldnt need so many pills if doctors would just get there fingers out and get things done .

      a delay could be in some cases costly . 

      lets hope you get them done soon . its a disgrace . back in the past 1970s anne would have had the test before leaving and would have known what was wrong before leaving the hospital .

      today they just keep stresssing you making you wait .it makes me so angry you dont need stress when your ill
