Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

SAF - thinking of you today. Can you take a friend to remember what you might forget if you panic? Probably a bit late for me to ask that now.

LNM - How is the back today? Try and keep as mobile as possible, it really does make a difference. JD sounds like a nice chap (as well as a good shag). I would ask if he is responsible for the bad back but of course I wouldn't lower the tone like that Grin

Sending all positive thoughts and wishes to SAF and LNM.

Please take all the help you can get

swallowedAfly · 26/06/2013 16:21

thank you - lots of wise words. am a bit calmer now and breathing easier. sleep helped.

LNM hope your pain is easing up! how are you doing?

swallowedAfly · 26/06/2013 17:41

i am seeing vasectomy boy tonight so thinking that will be a good distraction Smile

where are you LNM? just realised your pain will get in the way of JD fun - buggeration.

lazarusb · 26/06/2013 17:46

SAF - good. Have fun with him Smile Thinking of you (not in a weird way connected to vasectomy boy Confused!).

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 26/06/2013 20:11

lazarus - that made me laugh. Grin

SAF & LNM thinking of you both, lnm, hope back is bit better and SAF - hope your bloke err takes your mind off things a bit.

HenWithAttitude · 26/06/2013 20:31

Saf. I really hope you were given news you could deal with

LNM. How is the back tonight?

swallowedAfly · 27/06/2013 08:35

morning - check in LNM! getting a bit worried.

my distraction session did not happen in the end which was annoying. he was apologetical and it sounds like it wasn't his fault but still annoying. anyho!

back to reality of sending off final reports and hassling colleagues to get things finished that are needed and generally trying to finish off and tidy up before i go on holiday.

lazarusb · 27/06/2013 09:58

Hope you are ok LNM and your back is easing a bit.

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/06/2013 11:29

Morning lovelies.

SAF sorry your v man couldn't make it. Hope you hear from consultant soon

Lnm. How's the back?

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/06/2013 19:28

where is everyone? LNM hope you are zonked on meds and not in too much pain. Sad

Hi, still in agony. Had to send the dd's to ex. Been in bed constantly for the past 2 days. No amount of painkillers are helping the spasms at all and I've seen 3 different doctors. Feel like just going to A&E tbh. It's getting me so down too, my friend has been popping in when she can but I feel so isolated :(

buildingmycorestrength · 27/06/2013 21:07

Why not go to A&E, then? Sounds like it might be needed. Awful to be so incapacitated.

(((gentle hug so as not to hurt you)))

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/06/2013 21:13

at least if you go to A&E they will at least x ray your spine.

you need diazepam for spasms or similar and some v strong painkillers. A trapped nerve is agony. I used to wake up screaming when my meds wore off. Sad

What have the Drs said?

lazarusb · 27/06/2013 21:22

I've been in the same position LNM, it's excruciating. If your friend could drive you to A & E that might be a good idea. Really hope you feel a bit better soon Sad My leg still spasms occasionally, which is a worry, especially if I'm driving!

Jax, it's diazepam I have. They just make me sleep but the spasms wake me up. Doctors are just saying trapped nerve and I just need to persevere and try and get out of bed now and again. Well I am when I need to pee but I can't stand up straight and I'm scared my legs give way again which happened yesterday again and I couldn't get up for about 20 mins it was so painful.

Thanks buildingmycorestrength I need that.

Lazarus, I get some twinges of sciatica too, fills me with fear. This is something else though :(

Sorry, only seen last few posts. Thanks to everyone who asked how I am. Just going to take a double dose try and sleep. I'd give anything for an unbroken sleep right now. Goodnight.

HenWithAttitude · 27/06/2013 22:12

Oh :(

This is not what you need.

imtheonlyone · 27/06/2013 22:33

So sorry things are not looking good LNM. Sounds like you're having an awful time! I agree with the others, if no better just head down to A&E to get something sorted; surely they can't expect you to carry on like this?

Hope you get some sleep tonight Thanks

SAF - still thinking of you too Envy

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/06/2013 23:01

what else have they given you? and how strong diazepam? I know they dont like giving it out, but its needed in your case.

I really hope it eases up soon for you. It is agony and I remember it well. Sad

Areyoumadorisitme · 28/06/2013 00:37

LNM - hope you get a decent sleep tonight.

You too SAF.

lazarusb · 28/06/2013 09:31

Sounds like you have a slipped disc (although I was told by my Occ Therapist that these don't actually exist). Mine was a searing pain accompanied by spasms across my back. It was the most pain I've ever been in (& I've had 3 dcs drug free). I also had 'waves' of dizziness, even lying down. I actually passed out in the bathroom once - not fun but luckily didn't smack my head on anything.

I was misdiagnosed by GP at first too, took an emergency GP to correctly work it out. The sciatica was a side dish...I really think you need to push for an x-ray.

SAF - hope you are ok?

swallowedAfly · 28/06/2013 11:03

hi. sorry you're still suffering so badly lnm. i agree you need to push for investigation - a chat with a gp is not a diagnosis really unless they have psychic powers.

i'm ok. been a bit of a mess. hit the wine yesterday and went on a bit of self destruct ending up in pub and some random cow having a go at me about having my dog in the pub and how cruel it was (dog was perfectly happy btw) which tipped me over into emotional messiness and coming home sobbing and end of the world-ish.

i think maybe being scared and stressed and emotional does not go well with drinking for me so will stay away from booze for now. also it seems that getting off with someone doesn't go well with those emotions for me either as that triggers all manner of weird paranoia and crazy head stuff so i will stay away from that too.

this morning i am a bit mortified and shaky but hopefully this is the end of my emotional flip out from lab results and i will calm down and be a semi sane person again.

swallowedAfly · 28/06/2013 11:05

think my big mistake was that i sent my son to his grandparents for a couple of nights thinking it would give me some breathing space when actually it just gave me space to freak out and down stupid amounts of wine without distraction. i'm picking him up from school this afternoon and will be doing much cuddling on the sofa this evening.

Areyoumadorisitme · 28/06/2013 11:14

SaF - do you have any dates to see anyone yet?

Enjoy the cuddles.
