Re: not coping

Chicken and vegies sound great @outlander I ended up just getting the kids Maccas for tea. Did not have the energy to cook nor eat dinner. Luckily I had some leftovers in the fridge for H.

I am sorry nothing is working for your headache hun. Those clocks would drive me nuts too!!!

Did the doctor say what to do if pain relief didn't work hun? Perhaps you can call your nurse friend and see what they suggest.

Sitting with you 💟

Re: not coping

I am really sad that the pain meds haven’t helped and as for those blasted clocks that will be adding to your pain grr.

I don’t know what to say other than I’m here and I’m listening and by your side with gentle hugs @outlander

Will a hot shower help?

Love, love, love you and please stay safe.

💙💜💙

Re: not coping

nothing @NatureLover nothing really can be done. everything else has been ruled out that would be serious other then concussion likr bruising, fractures etc. i just have to try and ride it out. a shower might help soon.

Re: not coping

i didnt have the energy to cook either but running out of money for takeaway stuff esp mine since i have to be really careful with what i order (and requests are usually more expensive) so i just threw some things together here.

no he didnt, he just said if i start vomiting, loose sensentation down my arms or legs (thats usually for spinal but i havent got that) or things get much worse then go to ed but its not worse this is just the way it is. what the dr prescirbed to me is what the hospital would give me anyway. they wont admit me for this and honestly cant afford to be admitted so trying to manage at home. @Snowie

Re: not coping

theres so many of them @Eve7
im kinda use to them but yeah they dont help headaches and pop doesnt understand the meaning of being abit quieter so the doors are always slamming, showers late at night or shaving (he has electric on so noisy or he bangs regular one on the sink!) or slamming cupboards or stompng around.
the pressure in my head really builds up esp at ngiht when im laying down so the noise and light get 100 times worse then the day,
im going to try a shower soon. having bad stomach cramps so im going to have to check what was in the sauce i used. i forgot to check 😞
ill go in soon, im just running out of energy even for a shower atm.
