Claire - I'd usually be more conscious than I am about revealing too much, but I know that nobody would be able to figure out who I am, bar my mum, and I never dreamt that she'd be an MN member! I am very open with all of you though... Pretty weird, when you think we've never met...
That's rubbish that your meds make you tired... But you're probably wise, holding off and not getting your hopes up, just in case. I shouldn't be encouraging you!
Thanks Kkas - apologies again!
Pixie - the one thing my doctor advised me to do was to listen to my body and if I'm tired, sleep. If I'm hungry, eat. Aside from looking after yourself in that way, there's not a lot else you can do, so you're as well to relax and just try and keep your mind off nasty things. (Easier said than done!) I had hoped to get an early scan on the NHS cause of my irregular periods and my health condition, but the mdwife dismissed me. (Maybe the next one will be different.) My dad wanted to pay for me to go private, so I could reassure myself, but to be honest, I think I'd only feel better for about ten minutes... Then I'd start thinking about all that could have happened since I'd had the scan! Anyway, if I was getting one, I wouldn't be taking his money! But it was so nice of him, all the same.
Turned that right around there so it was all "me, me, me"!
So anyway, if the worst were to happen (which I'm sure won't), would you not want to tell your mum? Do you think you'd ever tell her? I hope I'm right in thinking that she'll surprise you in the end and will just be really happy for you and very supportive.
