Hi @Former-Member and All,

Great to read all your posts and support for each other. Just a friendly reminder to not mention any medications or supplements by the brand name or generic name because we can't give specific treatment advice here on Sane. A general summary of what has helped you with a specific condition is ok, just don't mention a brand name of medication.

Thanks so much,

Hi @Former-Member

I won't take the nerve medication either - possible unrequired side fx - also with the anti-inflamatories - I am dangerously allerigic to them - aniphylaxis - I have pain tablets but with the sciatica the flash of pain down my leg is over before I can reach for the light - it just the firey moment of hell I am sure people suffer worse than I do

My slow release medication probably covers a lot of it - and it doesn't happen often.

Last night I woke up scratching my mozzie bites into bloody little spots on my arms and legs - my the cream I use to moisturise my skin eased the itch - then I remembered I had put sun screen on during the day - not a good idea to sleep with that stuff on -

It's amazing what I am allergic too - and while I am on the subject of irritating things - my ant collection got into my kitchen sink yesterday and they were searching everywhere around the benches - I have to put out ant bait traps

I live in the sand belt with hydraphobic soil and ants' nest everywhere - they hang around my kitchen sink in summer but that is nothing - where I lived before this the building was full of ants - they would come in the bedroom windown, the front door - ran down one whole wall from window to window and there was nothing I could to do get rid of them - but here - I can

Enough ranting - I am itchy today -

Sorry about that

Thanks @Former-Member

I missed this post - but I am careful not to mention any names of the medication or suppliments I take - I have been red-lighted enough to have learned this - and I think this is good

Sometimes I wonder a bit why certain words get a red-light - but I am sure there is a good reason for it - usually I have used a word that has nothing to do with what it means alone but is part of the sentence I have written

Still - what I want to say is something I have been thinking about a lot lately - I was in a very reputable website in the United States - and there we could not talk about suicide or anything to do with the subject. True - the site was not set up for this - but I found it unkind - people would be banned from the site if they did not take the managers' strict instructions not to discuss this vital subject

Here people can and for this I am so grateful - although I do not have any SI or SH myself I am glad people can talk about this and I have suffered enough earlier in my life to know the terrible despair that can drive people this far - and the stigma attached

It's New Years Eve - and I feel a great time to mention this subject - how glad I am to have found this site - how glad I am that it is well moderated and how glad I am that people can discuss what was a taboo subject where I was a support member for so long

Thanks Frog

Geez @Former-Member

That is so funny I am laughing - my ant collection is the nests that are everywhere outside - this sandy soil attracts them and I have tried just about everything and got some ant bait traps yesterday. I don't know how they are getting in -

One thing they don't like is cinnamon and I think I used it all up last season

I have screens - but I got mozzie bites down at my dds place when we were eating outside - could have used the spray on the skin but that makes me itch too - I have bites on my exposed skin that could have healed now if I wasn't one of those people who scratch in their sleep - the skin cream worked though

I'm prattling too - and yes - I eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegies - I like raw food

Hi Ladies

Its lovely just reading today.

Contemplating the bumps and bruises of this last month. It has been a very hard month for me. My feelings and mood have been unstable and I am being good and taking meds.

I am at a bit of a loss for words, but like "hearing" your prattle.

Hi my ladies ... 🤗❤️💕

Vinegar is good for neutralising mozzie bites ,,,, And ants hate talcum powder, so anything that works like that ie cornflower, baking soda, is good ,... they must hate it all over their little feet .... lol .... but it is more likely that they need a snow-plough to make their way through it, and the baking powder, or worse, bicarb soda, would be hard to deal with for the chemical makeup of the stuff ...
