Hi Ses

I did mamage an early night was shattered after Saturday. Went to be at 9.30 and slept until 3. Managed to get off til six then. A lot more achy today in my back and legs etc. I think we are due more rain lol! I do manage to do the cooking at home. Now and again my hands go weak when I lift something but hasn't happened for a while now.

I think I have been feeling lot worse this week as I have just had a period. Hormones have a lot to answer for. I am 52 so hopefully not much longer for me now sad

When I was ampytripline I was only on the lowest dose of 10mg and managed to wean myself off them but cutting down a little bit each day. So didn't have to many problems that I can remember. We are all different I suppose so what suits one doesn't someone else. I had an epidural with my twins but seemed to be ok with that although painful at the time. My twins weighed 8lb 110z and 7lb 10oz as I went to 39 weeks.

Well hope you get some relief from your pain.

Thinking about you.

    Hi Ses, Di, Linda and everyone

    I am back now from weekend away. Not too much pain apart from my toe hurting again yesterday and stopping me doing lots of walking.

    Really need my bed now as had a very busy day with getting up early and trying to catch up at home.

    Ses sorry to hear you are still in a lot of pain. No wonder with 18 out of 18 pressure points. Hope your new medicine works for you. Hope your other problem gets sorted you don't need that added stress.

    Hope everyone else is in not too muh pain and will catch up tomorrow.

    Lots of hugs to you all :lol:

    Love Tess/Jane x x

    HI there Tess / everyone,

    Yes I am in so much pain and the back of my leg has gone numb somehow???? don't know if it is linked to my disc problems too....... I found the info from my report for my DLA, have Osteo arthritis in hip also which my doctor has not really addressed in the past just said the pain in my hip was either the fibro or my disc problems, referred pain????? so now I know the truth!!!!!!

    Anyway folks I hope you all are having a better pain free time than me? I am not looking forward to my appeal as I think it is so crap you have to sit in front of people in pain and disability and you have to prove your status, absolutely annoying!!!!! anyway I am going to go and lie down as it is driving me nuts!!!!

    Take care everyone xxxxxx

    Hi Ses and everyone

    Hope your appeal goes ok. :o Still having trouble with my toe found it difficult to walk about yesterday. Because I daren't put pressure on my toe because of pain. Now made the underneath part of my foot hurt too with not walking correctly. Really must go see my gp about it. Still trying to sort out after being away. That is what is bothering more at the moment than my other aches and pains.

    Can walk better if I wear trainers but don't look very good with a skirt in this week lol. :shock:

    Hope everyone else is coping ok and not in too much pain. Think it is going to be another hot day! :o

    Take care

    Love Tess/Jane

    hi Tess,

    I am definitely getting worse as I am having more mobility problems my right hip is so painful, having difficulty even bending forward....... must be the osteo, makes me sick as I was so depressed at one stage the doc didn't highlight the fact my pains are not just with fibro because I was so emotional at my appointments but now I have the report I know now why?

    I think the pain maybe also due to the stress waiting for the appeal?

    I have pain in the back of my bottom of my leg and so I am unable to get around, even worse than I have been ever also, it seems as though it is numb???

    Take care everyone lots of gentle hugs xxxx

    Hello Jane and everyone else,

    We all seem to be suffering at the moment, I`m also very depressed and know what you mean Ses about the doctors. My GP is brilliant, but if I`m emotional at an appointment he will say we will talk next time about the other things when you are feeling better. Quite often we need to talk about the other things as well because they are contributing to the depression. My GP has been away and his locum knew nothing about fibro! So I`ve been hanging on until he came back, have an appointment on Monday so watch this space!!

    Well going to try and do some shopping this morning, so no doubt will be exhausted later. Hope everyone has a better day today.

    Love Linda

    Hi Everyone

    Hope you are all in not too much pain today. My toe is still hurting and will have to wait until thurs or fri to see my gp. Think I need it chopping off lol. The right one is worse that the left all though got pains in that tonight.

    Its not so much the pain when you can walk on it. At the moment it is really painful for me to put on the ground. I can only see to walk properly and slowly with support of my trainers. Not very good in hot weather though. sad

    Did you get on ok on your shopping trip Linda. Hope it didn't tire you too much. You do have a lot to do with looking after your husband as well. You do have a lot to do in a day

    Hope you are ok Ses and Di and speak to you again soon.

    Love Jane/Tess :lol:

    Hi there folks,

    I was awake until 4.30pm this morning due to the severe pain in my hips it was like a hot poker being inserted from one side and going into the other and so I am tired.

    I am sick of waking up with my arm from my elbow to my hands feeling numb too and all I have done is put my arm across my waste and so I am not sleeping on them or something? it is fairly annoying, just wondered if anyone else suffers from this?????? my husband took my 2yr old to his mum and dads and so I had a rest and I was very relieved due to the pain!!!!! went for a nap but my ten year old decided to sing with my niece and so sounded like cats chorus :lol: so I am goosed..........

    Phoned the police due to the ex last week seeing if they had caught up with him and no they haven't what a surprise!!!!! hopefully they will catch up with him?????? I predict it will take a while and so now I am at my wits end wondering what step he is going to take next!!!!!!!!! :evil:

    Anyway due to the stress I guess thats why I am getting more pain than ever !!!!!! I do hope you all are having a better day than me?

    :cheerup: :love:

    Hi Ses and everyone

    Sorry to hear about all your troubles Ses. Hope things get sorted with your ex soon. You don't need the added stress on top of all your pain.

    Try and remain positive and get some rest if you can. Is difficult when you have children to look after.

    I am feeling quite tired myself now so off to my bed. Just wanted to reply back to you and know someone is here to talk to.

    Hope everyone gets some decent sleep.

    Love Tess/Jane

    Hi Ses

    Does make you feel a bit better if you can get more sleep. Strange one with your elbow. Not had that one yet lol! :o Its no wonder you are stressed with everything going on. Hope things sort out soon. When do you go for your appeal.

    I haven't even thought about it yet. Not sure how bad you have to be! Although feel more disabled the last two weeks with my toe and tiredness.

    Hope everyone is not feeling too bad today.

    Take care everyone

    Love Tess/Jane x x :lol:

    Hi Ses

    Good luck for tomorrow. :o Will be thinking about you and keeping fingers crossed. Maybe after the appeal is over your pains might ease a little. Get a good rest and hope all goes well.

    Hi Tess, Ses and everyone,

    Thinking about you today Ses, you`re braver than me I couldn`t even face an appeal so didn`t apply! How is Di does anyone know, has she gone on her cruise yet? My GP comes back today and I managed to get an appointment, spent all night worrying I was expecting too much from this appointment and I would be dissapointed! How stupid is that after all these weeks of waiting? Anyway will let you know what happens. Hope everyone is not in too much pain, talk again later.

    Love Linda
