Sometimes a second opinion is needed @outlander It does give us that fresh pair of eyes. They might be able to pick something else up.

I hope the pain levels do decrease for you hon. You deserve a break from it all.

Re: not coping

thanks @Snowie ive travelled to go get my medications and had a zoom meeting with the new company im working with to meet some of the other staff as most of us are all working remotely for the admin side of things

im taking stronger pain meds and its helping abit but they make me tired so i hope its not long term.


hows your day going?

Re: not coping

Glad you could meet other people you are working with @outlander Even better that you could do it from home.

It's a hard balance between meds and tiredness some times. I'm glad the pain is more manageable but not great about the tiredness, especially if you are driving and working. My morning meds can make me feel that way, but not having them could be worse.

My day is going ok. Been awake since about 5 so running out of things to watch! Just gone back to The Big Bang theory at the moment.

yeah its making it abit easier on me and for pop. i can work more when hes in a home @Snowie

yeah the side effects sometimes are hard. i get fatigued easy as it is as part of a medical condition. but with the meds its just added. i could probably sleep all day but i wont.

criminal minds is on disney and greys anatomy if you like that and malcom in the middle

stan has mom and 2 and a half men

Re: not coping

It would be tiring hon, and putting work on top of that too @outlander

I really like criminal minds too. Have spoken about getting stan or disney.

Have you heard anymore about your Pop?

My mum seems to be going downhill quickly.

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

might have to get your mum reassessed. she doesnt need a speicalist to be assesed

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

Glad you got the approval @outlander

Mum is forgetting more and more. I worry about her driving now as she almost had an accident today. She has so much trouble with numbers, money and letters. She wants me to go to all her appointments now in case she forgets what they say.

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

sounds like she might need herlicense revoked soon @Snowie for her and everyone else safety

has she seen a specialist yet

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

She doesn't drive very far anymore. Just around town and won't drive at night @outlander so has limited herself already.

She hasn't seen a specialist yet. Her doctor put the referral in in July and still haven't heard anything despite us ringing them about 5 times now. Don't think it will be anytime soon.
