Hi not very well been having pain up arm to shoulder up neck causing head aches and blurry vision. The gp thinks i have got carpel tunnel and is refering me straight away to carpel clinic. The neck is causeing headaches and ear ache and is separate issue to the arm which is carpel. The vision diSturbances is not enough breaks on computor and i could be straining eyes. The neck could be postural. I have to have stronger painkillers if the ones ive got dont clear it soon and ive got to have more rests for me eyes and im waiting now for appointment to come through for carpel clinic and he wants me to have another blood pressure test next month which i do anyway. any more probs of things get worse he said to get in touch. I was sneezing yesturday and had sore throught but that is ok today. I had no sleep last night still not right today. joanne

    Oh Joanne thats a whole chunk of stuff to get in one hit. I hope they will be seeing you very quickly and also has he said what they can do about your neck? I hope they will soon make you a lot better than you are at the mo and fingers crossed you can be comfy and sleep better tonight as well. x

    Hi Joanne

    Well at least you have not got piggy flu on top of that huge list of undesirables, if your sore throat has gone. I suppose we have to try and think of something positive, don't we, when feeling really bad.

    At least you are being looked after by the medics, unlike some people posting on the forum lately, so that is another positive, isn't it?

    I really hope you start to feel a little better soon and if you can get a good night's sleep that may perk you up a little. I have my fingers crossed for you, I can do that. :wink:

    Luv
    Elna x
    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
