Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

[sinkyroselee]

Its true, NGCECOAWT, so the BESH move on.

Join us in spooky October, for a different sort of Pagen fun. Sod the lentil weaving and organic bean bags, we're channelling pointy black hats, green tinged foundation and probably a bit of Harry Potter.

Join us for cursing of the insta-diffs, moments of pure love and the horrors of the cam of the fanjo - post the Beshtionnaire and the coven will judge you.

This is not a woo thread (TINAWT)

This too shall pass.

It's beyond shitty norf. You need to give yourself time to get over it. If it helps, methotrexate is a horrible drug. Blame this all on the drug. But the outcome is the same. You need time and space.

And why not ring the hospital? If they say no, well, sit back, watch Jeremy kyle (or perhaps something less brain rotting) then go on sat.

Go to Wales, Norfy and give yourself all the time you need - work can manage without you.

Oh norf. You need R&R. Yes pliz to ring the hospital, explain, request blood tests tomorrow - no reason why not - then you can jump on a train straight after. Tis unfortunate re work but can't be helped. They don't want you sniffling over the computers anyway! No seriously, they would rather have you back when you are well. Have you thought about counselling? Someone to talk everything through with/process things?

The doctor offered counselling, but I was more fixated on something to make me feel instantly better, hence choosing drugs. I couldn't bear the thought of having to wait weeks for a slot. I have to go back in a fortnight though, so I might ask then about counselling.

Thanks everyone. I'm really sorry about this.

I will very gently tell you (as a veteran) that the tablets will take a couple of weeks to kick in. However, I felt better within days just for knowing I was doing something. Actually the best thing is to combine the two (trust me, I know). Yes within 2 weeks the tablets will start to kick in (about 6 weeks before they're fully up and running) to start thinking about the counselling.

Stop apologising we are here to support each other. So stop.

Ps luff you!

faif, you iz well gay. don't mind the pointed hat, do you?

Work is definitely the thing to put at the bottom of the list. Sounds like the doctor is sensible - looking after yourself is a good choice.

In any case, going to Wales is always a good idea. I keep meaning to arrange a visit to my mum and dad, it's always so peaceful staying with them. Or it would be if they weren't having work done on the house, anyway

Norfy the BESH survey is right (as always) - ditch work, have a good cry, go to Wales and just let yourself deal with this - you have an operation, drugs and grief to deal with. No wonder you are A Bit Miz.

Nope don't mind the pointed hat. Bosom is certainly ample enough to take both you and the hat :)

Arrrrrgh fuck!

I'm going for the needles and Chinese medicine woo shizzle on Saturday.

Actually have the quivers.

This is not me. And a fred too late...

Ooh, umm, well it's sort of witchcraft originally, isn't it? Sort of oriental witchery? Taken up by the woos.

Did you just phone up and make an appointment?

Second Faif, tablets + counselling is the way forward. Good luck Norfey.

Just rang up. It's "herbs and accupuncture" south Manchester (google if it will distract you - I'm at risk of outing myself for the approval/amusement of you lot!)

Seem to have lots of post nominals between them, and the ubiquitous testimonials from 30 something TTCers.

Have you rung the hospital yet?

Ooo, new woo.

My advice would be, if you don't feel comfortable with the practitioner, more straightaway. If you do, you need to stick with it for a while to see effects on your cycle. It's not an instant cure (although I have to say my scalp is already less itchy and flakey than when I went to the appointment on Monday).

move not more

I will learn to type one day.

Did you get your tests moved norf?

Another friend texted just now to announce their diffedness. At Christmas she had no plans to start trying. Want but this is barred on new helfy living, make internals nice for a baybee plan.

I find Tesco summer fruits is a naice drink when I can't have booze. Or elderflower pressé. But have a large BESH for the sympathy of the sudden diffedness of the friend winkywitch.

Hot chocolate also a good choice. Especially with marshmallows in it. Granted, it's a bit wholesome, but who cares, right?

Must have lots and lots and lots of whipped cream in it :)

Drinking

Argh! Crap phone posting too soon.

Drinking hot chocolate made by kind husband right now - don't think I'veever been wholesome before - at work I am apparently scary.

I saw your peacock skirt in the other place Witchy, it's ver impressive.

I am getting stuff ready for travelling to this wedding. Several of my colleagues told me I should take notes and write a book based on it .

I too admired the peacock skirt! You are truly a witch of many talents.

Are you heading off tomorrow, Witch'sHorse?

Hot chocolate with marshmallows is especially nice with a massive slug of alcohol in it.
