Hi Sue, this is one brief reply as have tons to do but it's just like grabbing up the phone! I have two 'soaps' going on in my life at the moment. One we call 'The Glums' which are his family from...
Yes internet is amazing. I found myself nodding and smiling at the above as if you were actually talking to me - in the way that you do nod and interact with someone speaking to you. Our consultant...
I had the long term conditions nurse with me today for 2 hours and she said she would recommend to my GP I tried Prozac again. I have been on it and it is very good, but I have bad restless legs and...
This is such a helpful comment and thank you so much. As a wife I seemed always to be tearful and over emotional. Unable to enjoy what was supposed to be our 'quality time'; regretting past tiffs,...
Thank you so much for that encouragement and Link. It is very useful. Thank you. Cordelia....
I haven't been on here for a few years. I am separated from my husband and have many other health issues I have to deal with but I have registered as my husband's Primary Carer as there is no one...
What a coincidence, Yellowfin! I am 51 and have a lot of 'pride' (?) and am keen to keep up my appearence for my self esteem as much as anything, however, the last trip round our smaller supermarket...
Oh dear!! Thanks for all that, but this morning from 5.15am I awoke sweating and terrified, shaking and shivering. Sunk off to sleep beautifully last night then this morning woke and felt scared out...
Hi, your heading 'hate this' made me look. After seeing 'MRI anyone?' I am aching everywhere from a flare and now have to phone and cancel anything I was to do today and that takes an effort. Someone...
Sure did! A real GOOD nights rest - cat on the bed and still there in the morning and I slept til it got light. I told myself that I WILL beat this and I will. Each day is different, but have had a...
Brilliant, thank you so much. Those are really useful and helpful and I'm sure that's the whole point of this - help one another and understand the need and you have; thank you :-)...
Thank you Jo :-) will do. This support, the knowing that someone else I've never met can sympathise and care, is without price. Thank you....
Wow!! What can I say? This is valuable support for me and I really feel lifted. Worried you would all say I was on the wrong forum, but in some ways the panic is harder to deal with than as you say,...
Thank you for a quick reply :-) makes you feel not alone here. Actually I have a cat who is great company but doesn't like being held too tight, just stroked and picked up occasionally; she was from...
I already have several diagnoses, but lead a relatively normal life; however, I now find I have had an old one come back to haunt me - rheumatoid arthritis - and with it something that none of my...
Thank you so much for a first reply. I was feeling very lonely on here. There may be a lot of sufferers worldwide, but an enormous amount of fit people also. Have just tried to get myself off one of...
Just wondering if everyone is from America here and never heard of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is there anyone on here who is not from USA and has heard of it?? Beginning to wonder now if I have...
So many of you seem to be from US, I'm from UK and 'over here' CFS/Lyme Disease is often called M.E. or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, however it is spelt, it is rotten and I've had it since 1989 and is...
And I thought I was the only one who had to act like a bear with a sore head!!! I have had ME since 1989 and have just been diagnosed with generalised Enthesopathy; RA was diagnosed in 1990 and has...
I am totally new and from the UK where it is now 18.49pm. I have had M.E. since 1989 and RA diagnosed in 1990, since when it was ignored by the medics after hydroxychloroquine threatened my sight. It...
