Hi Fiona

Im sorry you didnt get better news today I do hope that you will be able to get something to help with this pain that you are having to endure. Why is it that we try to fix one thing and something else is ready to pounce around the corner

I can relate to how you are feeling about your husbands employment prospects. Unfortunately, my husband has been unemployed for quite some time now....here in Ireland the building trade just crashed and of course thats what he worked in!!!!....so its been horrendous trying to source some work. Thankfully he has a trade and can fall back on that etc, but since Xmas its been VERY quiet and quite literally 'getting under my feet' so one of us is about to flip!!! no guessing who that will be

But I just hope and pray that your husband will get something soon and that you wont have to move or at least if you do that you will find somewhere that you can have your health looked after like you are now.


Good luck with your CT on your hips too. Im having one done Friday 19th April on my head to see why I am getting this headaches which have been happening to me for a few years now! Always something eh?!?!?!

My cousin in Scotland who is also in building trade has been having hard time. He's not the worrying type and spends his off time at the pub (if you know what I mean) He's not the type to save for a rainy day...would rather drink away the day.

I sure hope they find the source of your headaches. Is it possibly allergy related...the reason I ask is before I found out I had severe sinusitis I felt like I always had a headache. Have you seen a doctor that specializes in sinuses? A friend of mine thought she had migraines until she moved into a different apartment and they stopped. She realized that there must have been something in her old apartment (mold, fungus??) that was causing her headaches. She had gotten to the point she was getting migraine shots in her neck and after she moved, no more headache. Just a thought.

I have been to see a neurologist back in November who told me it was migraine. I have this distortion in my left eye plus headaches every day. Some days, mostly evenings, I cant see at all. Have been to see eye Specialists who said nothing wrong with my vision and she doesnt see anything 'sinister' there. The Neurologist was a right pain in the ***!!! At the time I was on Amitrypteline tabs which, coincidentally this distortion only started about 3 months AFTER I started the tablets....anyway he told me it was all due to the painkillers Ive been on for the past 7 years for my back problem and to SUCK IT UP and stop taking all the tablets but to up the dosage of the Ami..........I was shocked....he told me to go cold turkey and forget about all the meds. I said easier said than done. Anyway I decided to try to reduce the tabs and up the dosage of the Ami....Oh my goodness it just got progressively worse, so I DIDNT go back to that quack, came off the Ami altogether and it eased a bit, but hasnt gone completely. So my Pain Consultant ordered this CT 'just to make sure' and see if it throws out anything. But yes sinus could also be an option. I dont generally suffer with any allergies but who knows!!

Ill keep you updated anyway. Thanks for that

As regards your friends in Scotland, I can imagine what is at the end of that glass he drinks from each day! Thankfully my husband isnt at all like that, we do look after our finances for the rainy days and thankfully our children are grown up now so we dont have all that stress and worry too. But its tough, for everyone who is unemployed no matter what their circumstances are!

Jackie

Sorry just noticed that my word ( A S S ) has been deleted out as a swear word how funny!

Sounds possible it could be lingering effects from the Ami..... The problem with taking medicine is you never know what side effects it can cause...and you could be the only one on the planet who experiences them and then they call you crazy

i'm still laughing

thank you
YOU'RE SOOOO RIGHT
I'M STILL LAUGHING
i'm sorry your little
crazy person there
that was great
it hurt so badly to
have laughed
thank you
i wish away all our pains
there is heck of a reason
no one can or would
want to live a life of pain

One knows it is hard to set an A S S on a donkey, as we reflect on the commencement of the Jesus tale [no pun intended] and it makes me crazy the word descriptive of our seating anatomy is stricken, so I reckon around here I will have to sit on my H E A D, which in some lexicon may be seen as a work untoward. HA HA HA HA!

'Nuff craxy, for this is serious stuff. Fiona, do know you and your valiant hubby are in my prayers as you face this multiplicity of issues. Be well, and may all manner of things be well so you may avoid a move. Moving is hard on everyone. We know.

May your arthritis be banished, treated so diligently as to push it into submission. May work be found where you live so moving becomes unnecessary. May you avoid that particular bottle, reaching instead for a bottle of cold milk which goes well with double stuffec Oreos [my comfort food]. God make all things well in your family.

Prayin,
