Re: rough time

Its good that you have made an appt. hun. Just a shame you have to wait so long.

Lokking after yourself is the most important thing at the moment.

Hoping what you are trying helps you at least a little @outlander

Re: rough time

thanks @Snowie im going to keep an eye on the online booking system as well and if something comes up earlier that I can get to im going to reschedule it for the earlier time instead of Tuesday.
ive tried and still trying essential oils, heat packs, ice packs, neck and back stretches, muscle creams, doesn't respond to anti-inflammatories or pain relief, hot showers and baths with muscle relaxants in it, the pains been wearing me out so ive been resting and even sleeping a little more when im able to sleep. going to see a massage therapist to try that out on Saturday morning but other then that theres not much more I can do.

Hopefully an appointment comes up earlier @outlander

It sounds like you are doing all the right things and all you can do to help with the pain. Sleep deprivation is hard to deal with so hoping you can get some sleep tonight hun,

thanks @Snowie I think if this gp does the same thing as what my gp done yesterday im going up to the ED. that was my last resort but I think im at that stage now that there just isn't anything more that I can do myself.
ive actually been getting around 4 hours good sleep and every 2 or 3 days im sleeping right through even going to bed around 10pm and sleeping in till 730 (sometimes later if I don't have to take the kids) the pain is literally wearing everything down I think.


How are you going today though? have you been up to much?

Not up to a lot today. Have a social worker coming out to see me tomorow. I haven't met her before so a bit nervous and anxious about tomorrow.

Not sure what to expect.

I hope the social worker is a nice match for you @Snowie its totally understandable youd be nervous but I hope she give off those calming vibes so your nerves settle quickly.

Re: rough time

She is coming to my house @outlander

I was going to try and lean the house today but just had no energy. I will try and clean it early tomorrow before she arrives. I hate having people over when the house is a mess.
