Night Shift

Hi to everyone who knows me here. Hope you're all doing ok. Haven't checked in for several weeks. My hand tremors became much worse and typing was difficult. Meds were adjusted and it's not quite as bad now. Because I was so worried when it reached the point where I had trouble even using eftpos to shop I decided to move down south to be close to family. So I've been totally occupied with sorting through all my stuff from 11 years in this flat - a really full-on time for me. My brother and his partner are being amazing and are putting a cabin in their back yard for me and coming up here to help with cleaning up the flat and driving my car down. Lots of anxiety about various things including getting used to being in a new, much bigger city, but at least I know I will have support there if things go down hill.

Call out to @Former-Member, @Mazarita, @Faith-and-Hope and others - thanks for all your support over the year and hoping things are going ok for you at the moment.

Hi @eth. It's really lovely to hear from you. I'm so happy for you that you are getting support to move closer to family. Does this mean closer to your child and grandchildren too? I hope it all gets sorted by Christmas. Thank you so much for checking in. You have put a smile on my face. I've had a very difficult week and just surviving but that's enough about me. I really hope this medication works better too. Best of luck with starting your new life. Sending loads of hugs💜🤗😊🤗💜

hi @eth

sounds like a great decision, but huge! its lovely to see you again, i hope that the tremors stay better. 11 years in one place is a long time, so i'd imagine its going to be a big change and going to take a while to get used to. Very glad to hear that you have lots of support though.

Hey @eth

It's so nice to hear from you 🙂 I don't know if you remember me, i was (sadgirl) but now I am Bluebay.

It's also nice to see that your family are helping you, that is really special. I hope your anxiety levels drop down for you.

Take care @eth xxxooo

Thanks @Former-Member and @Former-Member. I'd love to hear about what's been going on for both of you.

Hi @eth, @Former-Member, @Former-Member and others reading this,

I've been away from the forums for quite a while now. @eth, your callout drew me back. Big news about your move. I'm hoping it will be great for you. How awesome that your brother and his partner are being so helpful. So sorry to hear about your problems recently with tremors. Did that just come on out of the blue or was it directly related to a medication change?

Hi @Former-Member and @Former-Member, long time no see! Good to be dropping in for a 'hi' and little catch up this afternoon.

I had a hospital admission for physical health earlier in the week. Just an overnight stay for yucky tests that involve general anaesthetic. The preparation for it makes me sick so I needed to be in hospital to do it. All over now and results were good. Don't have to do that for another two years now, thank goodness. Another physical health issue needs attention and may involve another day procedure under general anaesthetic fairly soon. Hopefully that will work out at least as well as this first. Mental health is fairly good here lately but still suffering from the never ending fatigue syndrome, which is probably a combination of mental and physical problems in me.

Hoping everyone has a great end of year time if I don't catch up before.
