@Bunniekins OMG they are so cute Pea! I only wish we were making these! My mum knitted some ponchos for her great great nieces and wanted Pom Poms. I had no idea how to make them, so 5 mins on YouTube and an hour later, the ponchos have Pom Poms.

OMG, mega frustrated tonight!

So I'm on blood pressure meds, but pdoc wants to try me on the big L, so had to see my gp today to change bp meds so they won't interact with the big L when I start.
pdoc refused to nominate a bp med that would work with the big L cause, "that's not my job". So off I go today to the gp get a script for new blood pressure meds after she checks through countless meds on the computer to make sure it's okay.
Go to the pharmacy, get said meds, explain to pharmacist I'm starting the big L on Saturday and low and behold, the meds prescribed have a warning that they will interact with the big L!
Pharmacist says, you need to clear this all with pdoc before you start big L cause it could cause toxicity. Pharmacist was lovely and genuinely concerned.
So I get back to the car, open up the sheet that comes with the meds and low and behold there it is in black and white, not to take this medication if you are on the big L OR any other psych med, anxiety med, antiD etc.

I'm seriously like WTF?!!!!!!!

I send my tdoc a long email cause quite frankly he is the only one with a brain.

I'm thinking of just staying on my current psych med, which isn't perfect, but keeps me safe, very few side effects now, no drug interactions, no SI at all on it and now I'm back looking after myself with diet and exercise my moods have stabilised a little more.
I'm thinking why upset the Apple cart?
I have two months till private health kicks in and I can then book myself into a clinic and be fast tracked on meds in a safe environment where they know what they are doing if things get bad.
Geez, you pay these people money to communicate with each other but they are clueless!!

I'm just dumbfounded, I really am.
Surely pdoc could write me a script for blood pressure meds that don't interact with big L? Or at least give me the name of one to give to my gp???? Losing faith in him.

Seriously just shaking my head right now.

Just saying good evening to lovely folks here.

I love the photos and graphics of recent posts and the kind care and support expressed

Up date on my sunrise activity....

Ive been up early last couple of days doing my walking thang, so early in fact im home before the sunrise so i haven't seen its wonder.

Lots of birdsong at twilight , walking with my eyes closed to enjoy.

Found this quote , for those of you that love sunsets

.."I cherish taking leisurely strolls with my wife Jean at twilight. My steps are getting slower and increasingly I have another journey on my mind-the one into eternity. But the Joy - the sheer unadulterated joy - of a hand -in-hand slow walk as evening shadows fall never ceases.

sorry to miss the chat last night , will try again next fortnight

Kind regards to all
