***Friday Fly***

[yaddayah]

Good Morning

Hope me being 1st on means Luda is snoozing away !

Gosh, my smileys seem to be getting out of control...

Sorry tort my typing was pants there lol. Hope you could make sense of what I was saying - I can't even blame it on being sleep deprived cos currently I am not!

gibberish thanks.

Yadd Wave to you too.

WM finished.
TD reloaded!
I have some to hang out but not sure its worth bothering! Its too cold. But it is sunny!
While waiting for WM to spin i cleaned one work top.
Well i guess thats better then nothing!

hi everyone,

Back from pre-school. 1 DD sleeping and the other eating. Will clear kitchen down in a minute and then do 15 mins and then that will be for the day as I'm very tired.

I saw you sneak in Nab3 - just take things slowly. Have a look around the flylady website and get into a basic routine of cleaning your sink, clearing the kitchen. Everything else will follow. With children it can be easier to do 5 minute bursts rather than 15 minutes but gradually the depressing fod of sloveniness starts to clear. I promise. PS - are you calmer today?

Fod? I meant fog. However look at fod here

Hi

I am sorry...I haven't read the rest of yesterday's thread...or todays yet.

I do have some quick news....I had another migraine yesterday afternoon...which was my 4th one in 6 days. I had a severe aura which made me fall over!!!
Anyway...as a result have been to see an emergancy doctor (not my usual one) he has deemed my frequency and strength of attacks as warranting daily medication, to prevent one (rather than me trying to treat one once it is here...which doesn't work anyway....I have tried a hormone injection, migraguard tablets etc.etc.) He said that we have tried all normal and sensible courses of action and all have failed.
It means I have to take the medication now everyday forever more....but it should stop them all together. I'm a bit worried about having to take medication every day for ever (well until I hit the menopause he reckons)but I reckon its worth it!
I am on a 2 month probation period to try and get the strength of dose right (too much and I'll be falling asleep everywhere...too little and it won't work)

Also...he thinks my insomnia is almost definately down to my migraines...as it disrupts your brain patterns.

Soooooooo tonight I have 2 little tablets which should start to stop my migraines!!! YIP FLIPIN DE DOO DA.

I'm so tired...so fed up of having a constant headache and so fed up of having auras that make me loose my balance and feel sick I COULD CRY!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to take them now...but I can't as they are a mild sedative (hence you have to take them before bed)

I CAN'T WAIT TO SLEEP TONIGHT! One more flippin night staring at that alarm clock and I'm going to need therapy!

And can I just say....I'm so sorry for harping on about all my headaches and sleepless nights and everything else you lot have to hear me whinge on about.
You all mean a lot to me, and if I didn't have you all to bore to death I don't know what I'd do!

(Tired, emotional and slightly hormonal!?? ME!?????)

I have started making a list of all the jobs that need to be done to keep the house clean but it is quite daunting. I am a list person and work much happier when I know what I should be doing. There is just so much of it!

luda that sounds very sensible. If this one doesn't work (is it amitriptyline?) there are several others to try.
You might find that after 6 months or so, you can stop taking them for a while, it seems to go like that. But they will probably recurand you will need to go back on them. Or you can take them indefinitely as your GP has suggested.

Its called Pizotifen.

Do you suffer from them too neverenough ?

luda wondered where you'd got too !
Hope it works (emergency doctor sounds very sensible.. you've been suffering with this far too long !)

Thanks for all the good luck vibes ladies ...Sadly I have to tell you I completely knarsled the interview up. I even offered to leave at one point I felt I was performing so badly. Well I didn't have a job this morning, I doubt I'll have one today or tomorrow so ...Hey ho, put it down to experience.

Luda hope you're feeling better. It's always best to chat to the doc about meds. I'm doing it on Wednesday.

Poor dd2 is burning up again and has gone to sleep on me.
Have to pick the others up from school soon.

ludaloo - great stuff. I had migraines daily as a teenager. amitriptyline worked for me for a while but then they ended up testing for a tumour. Scary times but thankfully nothing. Go with the meds as it will transform things.

Ruby - RED, RED, RED. Go on....you know you want to

Neverenough - How exciting to have a Dr on the thread. Now i've been meaning to ask....

Nab3 - here is an example of my morning routine. It might help you.

? Morning routine

1. Make bed
2. Swish & Swipe en suite bathroom
3. Put a wash load in
4. Empty dishwasher
5. Feed cat & fish
6. Check calendar
7. DRINK SOME WATER
8. Clear away breakfast things
9. Think about what you want for dinner - take out meat if necessary.

10. 2 minute hotspot 11. 5 minute room rescue

Grouchy - Dont stress too much, sometimes employers arent actually looking for the 'composed, tick all boxes' type candidate as often fitting in with the existing team is more important.

Ruby-I read that thread too-PMSL, it was sooo funny if you read it as that!

Now I think you KNOW that scarlet is far far tartier!Depends on the impression you want to give

Actually being a GP is a great job if, like me, you love giving people advice!!!!!

Grouchy commiserations, chalk it down to experience!

tortoise I'm sure she will be better soon.
