Hi Tinks, I am pleased to hear you are okish at the mo. Did you go to the doctors? Sorry if it has been asked before I ran out of internet use over the week -end ! I am decreasing my dosage of steroids in an attempt to withdraw from them completely. It has me a tad wobbly !!

[tinkerbell23]

Awww flump! R you feeling okay!?

Yeah i went, i am on beta blockers 3x daily now and have been referred for councelling which im so so pleased about....

I feel like the thoughts have been a bit worse though since...which i was surprised about :0/ i thought id be better because id got the ball rolling.....so have been a bit doom and gloom!!

Hoping i sleep well tonight....without the waking up! Nights are the worse unfortunately....and ive been a bit "cack handed" of late....not thinking too straight........roll on the councelling cos i have it all ready in my head what i want to say LOL xxx

[flump1]

Oh Tinks well done you for going to the doctors, hopefully you will feel the benefits soon. Did the doctor give you any indication on time for you to see your counsellor ? Good that you have things ready to say, with the counselling and medicine, you are going to find improvements and gradually you are going to feel more able to cope and less overwhelmed. I am getting there, slow process !! xx

Hi you two.......just had my medication, two pints of Goshen beer to aid the sleeping!

[tinkerbell23]

No they didnt ...ill leave it a few days and call and ask a timescale...i did hear him speaking into one of those recording thingies a wee memo to himself to refer me...so he wont forget......dictaphone! Thats what it is lol

I hope so.....this time of night i can begin to feel the adrenalin literally running through my veins!! Going to up my gym attendance to try to burn it off...... Had a really really sore arm aswell but i think its all related!

Trying not to get wound up with certain people....finding it very difficult though !!!

Glad you are getting there.....How long have you been decreasing? Must be hard enough when you are used to them?!

Hiya DT hows you!? Pass the gin for me xx

[naomi24]

Me too, DT. Red wine - for medicinal purposes only, you understand. ;o)

You ok, Tinks?

[DTCwordfan]

Of course, I ahve a nice Unison, a Merlot from NZ here .....anybody want a glass, probably not you flumpy if you are on the steroids.

In the States they tend to whack those into you, 5,4,3,2,1 in five days.....things like my ear blockage, a rotator cuff and a back nerve/muscel were zapped that way - far more usage of them than over here.

[tinkerbell23]

I could go a little vino too naomi!!

Ach yeah ...ill be ok. Im just a bit annoyed with everything, and certain people in my household REALLY rub me up then wrong way and i think with the way im feeling everything just seems 100x worse.....just a blip though ill be back to normal really soon!!!

Thanks for asking though....how are you? Xx

[naomi24]

I'm good, thanks for asking - but I've been there, Tinks. Don't struggle. Try to chill out and go with the flow. It's the best way to beat it. ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

yep, not worth getting into such stews; many of us have done it....naomi's advice is good. We ought to install a big fridge in your room so you can chill out, tinks!

[flump1]

Hi DT , it's a bugger not being able to quaff the odd glass or two , I save myself for TMOFC on a Saturday and a few tailcocks ! Sorry for hijack Tinks .

[naomi24]

Yeah!! Let's all climb in! I'll bring the wine!! I've always held the key to the R&S wine cellar. Hotly contested, but I've managed to hang on to it for years!! Pud 'em up!!!! Custard pies at ten paces! Sperlatt!! :o)))

[tinkerbell23]

You both wouldnt believe it but in "real life" im calm, chilled and pretty laidback and easy going!!

Just think recently...been a few straws that broke the camels back....mabye been trying to be too strong for too long BUT as i keep saying, roll on the councelling....i think i will really help.

Trying to chill! Honest! Lol

Bite my tongue! But i cant believe ive started to be so cack handed....

Never managed to try the new relaxation app i downloaded....mabye later.

Thanks again for the encouragement guys.l..i havent said to my family my situation for now....dont feel comfy. So its nice to have you guys to chat with....xxxx

Told you before Tinks...knitting is calming. I have a great pattern for when I feel low.

Knit one, purl one, sip one.
Knit two, purl two, sip two.
Knit three, purl three, sip three.

[tinkerbell23]

Ive baked and cooked past few days! Keeping busy.

Sewed earlier.
Nails tomorrow and a visit from a mate.
Driving lesson thursday!

Keeping going Gness.....lol xxx

[naomi24]

That's my kind of knitting pattern!

Tinks, you've hit the nail on the head. Trying to be too strong for too long. Like I said, don't sruggle. Go with the flow. x

[naomi24]

* Struggle. No idea what 'sruggle' means - but it sounds interesting. :o)

[DTCwordfan]

could make this, gness, and replace "coffee" with "wine" or "gin"

[tinkerbell23]

It was my friend who told me that today :0)

I overcame a few situations, and also a long term one...i just shut down , oicked myself up and moved on ...people commented all the time and still do how well i done at the time and asked me for advice.....but i think i just put the shutters down....im a better person for it all now....but i think thats part of it!

I promise ill try my best...i really will....x

[DTCwordfan]

a more advance form of fuggling perhaps, naomi? perhaps involves a fetish.
