1. I'm not feeling great, haven't been for a while, and I can't get rid of a vile head/neck ache. I have appts next week to see doctor, dentist and optician to see if any of 'em can solve the problem.

2. My right wrist hurts.

4. I can't sleep cos I hurt too much and my eyes are sore.

5. Everything costs way too much, and my income isn't going up!

6. I'm eating rubbish and putting on weight.

7. My kettle has just given up the ghost and cut off my electricity in the process. (My son sorted out the electric, so that's back, I just have to buy a new kettle...)

8. ............... um........ I think that's about it!

Oh dear

I hope the docs/dentist/optician find out what's the matter and get you some relief from the pain...there's nothing worse than pain that you can't escape.....you have every right to have a moan and get it off your chest.

[Squirrel]

Sending :hug:s and a your way and hope next week's appointments generate some answers asap. In the meantime hang in there and moan all you want to, we are here for you.

[YoungStitcher]

Sorry to hear your not feeling so hot! Hope it starts to look up soon

[meerkat]

that one or more of your visits will get to the bottom of your aches and pains,makes everyting else harder to deal with when you're not feeling too good.

[milkmaid]

hope that ,it gets better for you soon

[Fljotsdale]

I just love all you people! You are like an emotional Thank you!
I'll let you know how I get on next week.

[wendywombat]

I guess a few extra

won't go amiss!

I hope you get an answer....and a new kettle soon!

[fccs]

So sorry to hear...moan all you want, you're among friends. I can identify especially with #5 and #6...I guess that's just a fact of life.

Feel better soon and fingers crossed the docs will be able to provide relief. In the meantime, I hope your stitchy bug will keep you company.

[Fizzbw]

Oh that sucks! Pain can make everything else look glum. I hope they do sort out your face/neck ache, don't let them extract any teeth unless they are 100% sure that's the issue. Might be worth seeing a neurologist to rule out any Trigeminal involvement (like I have!).

Sending you lots of vibes.

Well! The doctor says I 'probably' have arthritis in my neck and shoulder (make that my jaw as well! I have always had a clicky jaw that never really knows where it should sit in the joints... ).

My optician said my sight prescription is the same as last time, but that I have a slight hardening of the outer layer of the lens which is affecting the sharpness of my vision, and I should make sure to use bright lighting when reading and sewing (I already do!) but that it is unlikely to be the cause of of my neck/head ache.

The dentist has agreed to remove a tooth after years of trying to save it when I never wanted it saved in the first place because it's more bother than it's worth (Yay! ) but said it wouldn't be the reason for the neck/head ache. I have the tooth out next Friday. He thinks it will be an easy extraction...

The doc prescribed Co-Dydramol, which kinda work, but gave me horrendous constipation so I've stopped taking them and have gone back to good old Anadin Extra. I'll be seeing him again in a couple of weeks so I shall ask for something else and give the Co-Dydramol back to the pharmacist.

I'll report back after the tooth has been removed.

I am so sorry to hear that they really haven't figured out how to help you stop the pain. I don't know the medicine they have given you, but I know that ibuprofen is a big help to me when my back starts hurting (Advil is the brand name over here) and I know quite a few people who use it for arthritis. I will also keep that your extraction goes easily. That's another pain (besides one in the neck) that the ibuprofen is a big help with. When I had my fall and all that oral surgery last October, it worked so well that I never took the more potent pain medication that the oral surgeon prescribed.
Anything that hurts too much to let you stitch is not good!!

Thanks for listening, Carole! I must check out Ibuprofen - I don't think I've ever used it. Just read the info on co-dydramol and it's addictive! For pete's sake! Why put such stuff on the market? Not that I stand any chance of being addicted - the constipation really put me off!
