having a realy bad day

coco67

back from the drs, had my meds changed. told to stop taking the anti depresent i was given to help me sleep as they make you realy anxious. not something i need when me nerves are shot to pieces (son out in afghanistan), dr was not impressed id been on brufen for ages and then naproxen without any thing to protect me stomach, no wonder the heartburn has been rediculus. so now have new meds and see him in a few weeks,

ive had the day from hell, it hit the news that some of our lads were killed and injured out in afghan before the families of those involved were told and a number to call for info was given out. spent half an hour pacing the floor panicing as there was no news of which regiment etc before finding out its not mine. relieved big time but my emotions are all over the place now and due to all the pacing my feet are burning. feeling so low i dont think my nerves can take much more and im usually a strong person. sorry to winge and moan

There is no point in my saying I understand Coco, because I don`t, and I have to be honest, for that I Thank God.

I can, however, feel for you. I have two sons, and, since my husband died, they are the most precious things in my life.

I will think of you often, and your very brave boy........Ange.

Oh Coco,

What an awful worrying time you're having - I'm glad to hear it's not your son's regiment but I'm sure you live with many anxious times.

I hope your new meds help to sort you out and at least you're down to see your doc in the next couple of weeks for a follow up, so he/she is keeping an eye on you.

Hi coco
I am so sorry for what you are going through, I cant even imagine the stress of everyday wondering what it will bring.
Your son is so very brave, and so are you.
Lots of hugs ((((())))) and love.

you are not whingeing or moaning cocoa.....hearing about the losses today and having to phone and wait for news about your son must have been traumatic and nerve wrecking. :roll:

we all owe such a lot to our troops out there and your post reminds us that there are parents and families here who have to go through such anxiety and worry about their sons or daughters on a daily basis.

I do hope your new meds work for you and that you can get restful sleep.

love n (((hugs)))

Oh Coco,
I cannot begin to think what you must be going through.
He has my complete admiration for the job he is doing out there.
Hope his tour is nearly finished.

Sorry u are so low i will be thinking of you and your brave lad. I cannot imagine what you are going though not experiencing this type of separation myself.
I can feel for you having children my self and how deeply we are attached to our kids. The umbilical cord never really becomes broken and we always will feel for our kids no matter what. I am sending you wishes for peace and pray that he is looked after and yourself.

Hi Coco

No wonder you're so anxious when your son is out in afghanistan - and it doesn't help when you're not feeling to grand. I hope they get your meds sorted out. I find that I have to take my heartburn meds quite regularly with all these pain killers. There always seems to be some side effect with medication. I know my blood pressure meds make me flushed and hot; amitryptiline makes my mouth dry and the tramadol makes my skin itchy!!!

I'm glad your son is ok. Put your feet in some tepid water with some sea salt; then get someone to rub some nice moisturiser on them.

Take care and I hope you are feeling less stressed now.

With regards
