pain pain, go away. been burning a lot today, booo!! walked buttons up to the shops, geez could only walk a few meters at a time and i was huffing and puffing. it was a hard walk. i usually fly up there and back in under 5 minutes. i have had a few showers to help with the burning, it helps a little. it took about
2 hours to recover from the walk, it was that bad. oh well, i guess that is my lot in life. take care my hw buddies. thx for listening.

thx karen. been up all night with it. savage it was, lasted 6 hours. pain in arm, (left) finally gone, burning is a dull ache at the moment, hence i can post and check e-mails. no use in going to bed. it is 5.30am, soon it will be light.
ps it started again for around an hour, but has finished. i have had breakfast. i am waiting a couple of hours before i lye down so my food can at least try and digest. it's not when you lye down when the burning happens per se but for me it is when i wake that it rears it's ugly head. i actually awake because of the pain. so i will give it a little longer. my eyes are hanging from my head!! got the shrink tomorrow. i am lucky it wasn't any later than tomorrow as i have nearly run out of lamictal and i have run out of script
s also.
my shrink provides the lamictal script
s as they are on a special schedule at the hospital pharmacy. they are used for bi-polar patients under strict authority and i can only get them at the hospital pharmacy. will need to get some money out of my account today. weather will be quite warm today. i think our summer is on it's way. she usually is very brutal.
have a great day my hw buddies. catch ya soon.

yep it is burning and i was only asleep half an hour. it is hot here. the hot weather is upon us. i am drinking plenty of fluids and trying my best to burp. i am so tired, and so tired of this and everything. somebody please put me out of my misery!!! if i was a horse i'd be put down. oh well. expletive this!!! i have a stack of appts coming up, starting tomorrow, this will be fun, not!!! i keep asking myself why do i deserve all of this??? come on, somebody cut me some slack. i need at least this sorted. i can deal with the nocturia, i am even tricking my bladder by dosing up on water when it starts so i can fully empty. still going a lot but not dribbling or straining and going back every two minutes.
sorry having a vent. i bloody need one guys. i am beyond the end of my rope, i am running purely on addrenalin. i am having panic attacks at night with this pain. i am very fearful that if i try and sleep that i am going to die. especially when i am that short of breath it becomes very scarey indeed. oh expletive it!!! i can't keep doing this, i can't i will break and when i do i will just shatter. i don't like using the h word but i do hate all of this. i asked my doc awhile ago why all of this, why me? he looked at me straight in my eyes and said 'because you can handle it'. i nearly punched out!!! i think i need a few stiff drinks. i see my psychiatrist tomorrow, this will be interesting when i tell him the above. he will probably think i am a big baby. well time for more water. to add insult to injury today i had a big hypo because i could not eat, great. so what is next a liquid diet??!!! rant rant jamie, that is all you are doing, but it is cathartic. well i best be off. see you soon my hw buddies. i guess i just need a bit of support at this time. thanks for listening. and caring.

Hey Jamie,
I am hearing you. I sure hope you get some relief soon. You are right, you don't deserve all of this. I hope that there is something that your doc can do to help you. Know we are all here for you. I just happen to be the first one up...
Hang in there buddy... Things are going to get better. Do you have zantac over there? It helps with that kind of stuff here, I think... I think that is what it is called. Also nexium might help some...
I hope that it gets better for you. I know you have lots of appointments coming up, I hope they all go well.
I am here for you mate...
Hugs, Karen...

Nexium is good. I took it for a while. I don't know if they offer it over that but it's worth asking about
. I hope you get relief soon.

it though. cheers for that.

hi guys, bloody hot here. i am so short of breath it aint funny. i was fortunate my sis took me to my shrink appointment, albeit walking from the car into the practice and only a short distance practically killed me. even my shrink could see i was struggling. i hung my clothes on the line and that killed me as well. i have to sit and rest and drink cold water after each activity. i walked next door to see my neighbour, she put some iodine on my diabetic sore on my leg because it is ulcerated. i use aqueous cream but it just does not have the chop. not cutting the mustard so to speak. just going next door was murder i was hanging on to her letter box for a few minutes before i went in.
i am going o/s later in the year. i really need this sorted out as soon as possible. the gastro dr. is back monday, i will be phoning first thing. also monday i have my therapist and i need to go to the hospital pharmacy to pick up some lamictal. i am ever so grateful to my sis at this time as she is running around for me. i am very good to her also. it is slowly cooling down, phew. tomorrow is shopping day, irene and i are going out early to beat the heat. i will be totally wrecked after bringing all the shopping in and then putting it away!!! expletive me!! somebody shoot me!!!
my shrink is amazed at how well i am mentally considering everything that is going on. this was nice to hear from him. he said to focus on my trip, i said yeah i am but i have to be realistic and focus on this to. if i don't i won't be allowed to fly. my partner would be beside herself if i said i could not fly. i said to my shrink i am taking it all one day at a time. but i really need this sorted as soon as possible. i will tell the gastric staff that i am very unwell and need an urgent appointment. geez i am feeling old. this is taking a big toll on me. oh well, just keep pushing. maybe if i keep pushing this hard i will be pushing up daisies!!! what to do, what to do.
this is when i need a smoke.................
way too much stress, not with just this stuff, not just 2013 but going back a long time. this is why i play my tunes. it is my de-stress coping skill. life isn't meant to be that easy but expletive it aint meant to be this bloody hard either. now for my last bit i will just quote my mantra 'slow and steady wins the race'. i just wish the doctors would get their you know what together. see ya soon. thanks for listening to my rubbish.

It isn't rubbish Jamie. It is important to you and to us too. I wish you the best. As you know I am sick today so this will be short. But know that I am praying for you and wishing you the very best.
I am off to go back to bed for awhile...
Hugs, Karen...
One day at a time Jamie...

thx karen. am having massive panic attacks. when the acid plays up and the burning begins i get very short of breath. and it happens when i do little activities like shopping today and doing my laundry and even dishes. when it comes to having a kip i freak out and think i am going to die. i get into a massive panic. i had 2 kips this afternoon, i fell asleep but awoke in panic both times. going to bed at night scares the hell out of me. shrink will not give me any sedatives. i just need all of this expletive stuff sorted. i am freaking out. booooooo.
thx 4 listening. ps very hot here and i can't sleep when it is. i can't win. shoot me.
