Whatever we have we have, whatever we don't we don't: it's only one flaming day after all! You take care, please, I hope you have some CDM left! frog has heavy snow at the moment, we have murk. DD

Hi Cris ive just been out trying to blow some hot air your way hoping all hopes it will work , for you and all the four legged ones xxx

skezier

Forgive me the sites so bright I can really use it again.

Hi Julie, Elizabeth, DD, Annie, Marion, I, Wonky, Barbara and Berty,

Tis so cold! Got no thaw here at all... have all around just not here :roll: Started taking it very personally now.......

The cold/cough what ever reinfected now so feeling less rough than while it was reinfeting. No point seeing a doctor again cus the antibiotics didn't do much and just think I wont be right till it warms up... or the drip.... Now put back a week and it will be that hideous sister for 3 days as well....

Hi I,

Must do a list... this time I must. Have got some lack of sensation in left arm and hand and its all swollen so the neck has to be looked at this time... could e circulation, could be the pa or it could just be something to do with an old head injury but it needs mentioning cus I need 2 arms and the left was my strongest though most restricted movement wise.....

Bully send his best xmas smile and said he might see you yet (((( )))) and a hope its warming up there? xx

Its too bright people, forgive me I can't really stay long.

Hopefully it will be sorted at some point.

You all take care, stay warm, stay safe and I will try and get back later. Hugs to you ll. Cris xx

bertyboy

Hi Berty,

Yep she would look good with a gag on Mind since I wrote her an she read my notes she has been much nicer Tend to try and see the other one though.....

I must remember to ask about the neck though.... gt the botox in a couple of weeks so need to know if that's better to delay......

You stay warm flower and yep this glare is dancing the right eye into migraine so must go..... ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xxx

Glad to see you, petal and I can see that you are hanging right in there as usual.

I've had a couple of days offline, the computer didn't want to come out to play..........it's been lashed back into submission this afternoon and I am busy catching up with the news.

No snow here, all gone - but told we are promised more next week, anyone can have my share, I'm generous with snow.

Have the best Christmas possible, those sheepses do look so fetching in their Santa hats..........and such smiley faces underneath them.........

Love
Annie

Hi Cris

Oh dear things seem as if you are having a rough time flower.

Cris got some bottles of Vanilla and Banana liquid the doctor has put me on. They are meals in a bottle. When I read about them it is also prescribed for people who have IBS if you want I will tell you about them. Anything must be worth a try I know just how bad it gets for you my friend.

You try and keep warm and as dry as you can. Will pop in and out when I can.

Sending you some Christmas ((((((())))))
Love Trish xxxxx

Hi Cris, you don't think some different antibiotics would work - that has happened to S before. The first lot given at badger clinic didn't work, went to GP who said that the throat infection going around at that time was resistant to that antibiotic and put him on another one that did work.

We are still surrounded by snow and ice too. We had a couple of days last week when we had a thorough thaw, then the snow came again Friday onwards ... the grit boxes are all empty and last night even the main roads weren't gritted - cars were skidding as they braked right across a cross road junction - so dangerous,

I broke up from school Friday, but S has been really poorly. He doesn't do poorly well as you know, so he has been ranting and raging and unpredictable. He had an activity day today, so I managed to get some food supplies etc

Well only popped in to say "hi" and thinking about you ....!

Speedy

Shock of shocks..... Bully is now a Bullock I didn't notice cus I looked I noticed cus he has a lot of green veterinary spray and stitches..... couldn't have happened to a more deserving creature..... Sorry but well I have wished for it an now am thinking maybe I should wish for something else......

Hi Barbara,

This snow stuff is getting a bit silly now isn't it? I was 7 or 8 before I saw it cus ts not that common... or wasn't... down here yet here it is out staying its welcome.....

You have a good time flower and hope the GK don't have you up too early. ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Annie,

You too flower and yep have heard the rumour sunday/monday but there was a bit kicking today down west. Its just too early and too cold for those of us with no blood

They do loo fetching in their Santa hats but they don't like the bells on antlers... or at least the sensible ones don't I tried to turn the all into them but only one was willing ...... I think its cus she was going to eat no matter what nasty mummy put on her head!

Check your email flower... some idot went a bit loopy again...... ((((( ))))) and hope your pc will behave. xx

Hi Trish,

Good to see you! Ah have had those drunk things the flare before last but they are horrid and just no the ulcer is kicking even with drinks. It should be healing by now but the underlying cause is up to no good I guess?

Hope your family got over ok in the end and enjoy your Christmas flower. ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Speedy,

They aid there isn't any point in more antibiotics just yet cus its viral and I just don't seem to be able to fight it off. Its draining but no big deal I guess.....

They have told e now to ask the rumo as its gt hold o my lungs (and it has nothing to do with the other thing I am stupid enough t do!) and throat just now. Some of it might be a reaction to the mtx.... I kinda hope not cus I know the crohn's is grumbling and its the only control its got.

Moaning eh?! Too late and I agrivated all the bones tonight so pay back isn't easing very well.

Sliding cars..... mine hasn't yet..... its having to go through one gate as the pole is frozen into the ground and I can't open the other cus I can't get it out..... about an inch clearance is all there is..... its got to thaw sometime eh?!

You go careful though cus its probably (excluding stroppy white van man) safer this way....

I hope S is much better now and you both have a lovely Christmas. Poor lad its never easy being unwell when your young at the best of times.

Hope you will get a chance to rest up oer the holidays Speedy and thinking of you as well. ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Cris,
Oh poor bully....I know Christmas is for giving but really. )

It’s good that you are making your mental list ready for your appointment. Fingers crossed the Botox appointment if allowed, does some good too.
Sorry to hear that the viral infection is still not getting any easier.

The snow and freeze is hanging on here too. The poor old birdies are practically knocking on the windows for me to give them breakfast. I wouldn’t mind but they repay me by nesting under the roof tiles. x:roll:

Sending a bucket of hugs,
Lv, Ix

dreamdaisy

Morning my lovely, I hope you have a good day today and of course I wish you a very Happy Christmas. I guess your day will be spent in much the same way as all your others, taking care of the contents of the ark! I hope you are feeling better in yourself and that this blasted cold weather begins to move away soon - we could all do with a little more heat! At least the days are beginning to draw out, which is a good thing. Take care, I hope you were able to keep a little CDM back for the big day! With love, DD.

skezier

Hi I,

Really hope you had a good day?

Bully (now ex Bully ) is looking very sorry for him self... he said he must have been very bad and he would have rather have had coal

Hey have I got a thing just gone to top of my rumo list .... this time I must do one..... my neck really is up to no good and has got me a few times today in the sickness and feeling yuck way.....

You sleep well and have as good a day tomorrow as well Love and ((( )))'s Cris xx

Hi DD,

Oh flower have I got some blue wrapper drum laying gorilla stuff now

I have done near as much today so it is an easier day. I love Christmas day actually but only after been Mowzal! Well it is going home after all... my lot cam from there

The snow and ice have yet again done another day.....Mind tis a better cold than out usual... we get that horrible damp cold that gets into you no matter what you are wearing and that's been replaced with this crips dry cold so maybe there is a plus side.......

With a sheep suffering from the cold as well as something else I am not totally convinced...... The vet will have to see her..... I got the Rumo on Wednesday so will get them out for Thursday I think.......

Hope you have enjoyed your day? You sleep well and leaving some cdm cus I really have a fair old whack of it just now... wont last though ..... ((( ))) xx

bertyboy

Hi Cris,
Sending full survival kit your way. x:rudolf Not much use but the thought is there. Love the tree by the way; the ropes ties give it an interesting look, finished off with the cats as ornaments’. Purrfect!


Hey do you want a tort to add to the collection? )

I hope you manage to get home a bit early today.

Will be on pocket duty Weds. Must make a list....Must take the list.....

speedalong

Ooh - what are you wishing for now, Cris?!

Viral hey - damned pesky things.

Is your rheumy appointment soon?

Surely this snow and ice has to go at some point?! That is a nuisance about the gate.

S is improving but sounds like he smokes 100 a day!! His IBS is playing up, probably because he is anxious about feeling unwell and aided and abetted by extra Christmas treats.

Resting up?? Yeah right!! At least don't have to get early for school.

Take care,

Speedy

skezier

Hi I,

Oh flower the survival kit is always welcome.... I sort of floundering.... been a hippo then some thing I can't remember and now I am a flounder! aye I could go for a bit of quality in my next morph

The list..... I must this time actually do one.... Neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and lumber ...... feet are in trouble and the knees got fluid....

which reminds me.... why cant they drain the fluid off my neck the same as they have done my knees and elbow?!

I kinda think that's whats doing some of the problem.....

Woke in so much pain this morning I wonder if i have still got the chronic long term flare......

Sorry I bit of a moan again......

Not easy sometimes is it?! :roll:

Glad you will be with me... the last appointment was so heavy and at least we don''t have to talk about that again... though we do a little bit but only in passing.....

Had the quality of life discussion a few years ago...... need to sort of have it again.....

if they could just stop the pa eating me.....

Right flower i shall shut up now and apologize for the full force of my swamped outness.....

Love and hope your having a decent time.... swamped out and getting sick of it in Cornwall ((( ))) xx

Speedy my friend somewhere in this time off you must make time to charge up an rest up a bit.... those of us who never do know how how much we need to

So hope S is feeling a lot better? ((())) xx

Wonkylegs

HI Cris and everyone

Cris my love I really hope you have written that list ...... and that you have done a copy of it for the Rheumatologist so that he can see how worried you are. You could number them in your priority so that he knows which is worst for you ..... but I'll be with you and littlelegs says that she will bark at him if he tries to wriggle out of talking about any of the things on your list!

sending you some cope, some swamp reducer, a tanker of anti-swell stuff, and a load of hugs and slurps

Wonky xxxxxx

HiCris, That s a good idea from Wonky, give your Rheumy your list and he will go through it one at a time.
It may be a chance to ask about a replacement neck collar for a couple of nights a week. Just to get you through the worst. I know you don’t really want to wear one on a regular basis and I understand and somewhat agree with your reasoning. See what he says on Wednesday and then all being well the Botox will help a little too.

I know it is difficult to reassess things in our lives. But it does not have to be all at once. As long as the seed is there it will develop and evolve when the time and opportunity comes.
Cris, we are all here for you and will support you all the way.

Many hugs and a bucket of fortitude coming your way.
Lv, Ix

Hi Wonky and I,

Your both so right....

Brilliant idea Wonky and will do it I think....

I just can;' handle this permanent pain.... the heads too heavy and the paralyzing don't half scare me deep down..... Here I go again moan, moan, moan.....

I, long ago I damaged my neck and had a brace that came down over my shoulders.... they then gave me a collar and it really helped but i know about muscles and all that.... I think your right though... can you just buy them or is that another one for the rumo?

I had this huge long back brace for quite some tie as well... It stopped me bending the spine and it held it fairly straight.... Then I had surgery and did a 'right that's it' and chucked the lot out...... I really believed I was 'cured'!

Tis all catching up.......

Chuck in useless hands, arms and shoulders and more buckets of pain... not much of me left now.

Kinda feel under attack fro this sodding bone thing after years of stalemate!

I know state of mind is important but when the pan gets this bad I feel I am drowning... Hell am I being honest :shock: :shock:

I know I will lose but some where inside I still have me and that me will fight back..... Its sort o trying and this forum makes a good life belt but I do apologize cus I know I m fairly low and well off the ball......

Still least the snow has gone... the ark is floating and the roads are flooded... isn't that where we came in

I am leaving you both a bucket of huge thanks and another of hugs cus you really do help me...

Hey ff to do the list.... I may be sometime xxx

Wonkylegs

well done Cris my friend

sometimes just writing it all down is the scariest thing, but it makes it easier to deal with too.

you moan away ...... if you can't after the moans I've had in the past, then I don't know who can! If it helps then we're here for you.

As for the collar, I had one a number of years ago (one of the soft ones that fasten round with velcro) and I just bought it over the counter of a large chemist. Not sure about now though, but at that time it was what the hospital told me to do for my trapped nerve. These days they wouldn't dare suggest that!

hey the Rheumy is used to paperwork so don't worry however long your list is - he'll have had a longer one sometime I'm sure

hang in there Cris, and we're here for you whenever you need us (or on the end of the phone too)

hugs, slurps and loads of love
WOnky xxxx

Hi Cris,
You are not moaning flower you are just getting things straight for your appointments.
The neck brace is available on the net but I would get one through the Rheumy as I think you will need one that is made especially for you as you need one that takes the pressure off the nerves that are causing the numbness in your arms.
I can well understand that you cannot go back to the back brace but even there a body belt worn when doing the bale tossing might help a little.
I am so sorry that you are suffering so much Cris. I hope you can get some help with the employers every now and then.
Hope you have a better night’s sleep tonight.
More hugs,
Lv, Ix

Hi Wonky and I,

You are kind.... I don't deserve it you know!

Pain isn't a good friend and this one.... I need to find out what is making me go paralyzed!! I don't want that kind of training.......

Its all odd to the touch and I haven't done anything to it either..... This isn;t payback its changed and be honest I would like an mri targeted at the nerves in my neck.... something is very wrong and I do feel its all just monitored and watched while I have my bones eaten by the pa.....

The mtx has failed..... he told me I would never get funding cus this trust is so word that would rightly be deleted ****!!!! :oops: They are not funding anything cus for the umpteenth year running they are bankrupt! (Mods and Jean sorry if this isn't allowed but its so annoying the postcode lottery)

So we just sit and watch the bones get worse......

I have said this before... I am my way of life, without it I am nothing and I get so scared.....

I sadly yet again we will have to deal with the circulation thing before anything else... that is starting to effect my legs as well..... Hey if the stempt me I wont be able to have the iloprost The downside being I need it

I don't nee the hassle.... I know how bad I am getting and they don't need to bang on about it...... That's pending... its worried me so much cus of how bad it was last time......

Running scared and doesn't that open a can or worms.....

Wonky my friend the last time I was honest it scared someone.... I worry I ill do that again but its my neck and its had it but others may NOT go this way... I did injure it long ago.

I don't care if we ignore the wrists and elbows cus the circulation thing will have to be top of the list but we have to talk about this neck and I really need to know whats causing the paralyzation cus its all of me! I can not move and have crushing pain all oer me..... I know the cure... you have to get your left hand to move and shove the head t the right but its getting harder to get that hand to work....

At the very eat we have to find out whats making this happen...

More ((((( ))))'s for you both and so sorry I have fallen apart to this degree.

Love and many thanks,

Cris xx

Hey knowing your in the pocket will help and sorry I am leaning on you

Wonkylegs

hey Cris lean away pet - we all need someone to lean on at some time, and you need us now .... and we know it so we worry about you. THis is what we can do to help and it is fine.

If there are things you'd rather not put on the open forum (and I can understand you not wanting to scare people, though most of us do know that we are all different and have different problems) then there is always PM, email or text.

Please don't ever think you can't say what you feel to me - it works two ways this support you know

right ....... have I got this right ....
item 1 - neck,
item 2 - neck pain,
item 3 - neck paralyzation,
item 4 - neck MRI,
item 5 - circulation (you'll not get away with out some mention of it :roll: )
item 6 - wrists and elbows
item 7 - anything not mentioned before

think he'll get the message that the neck is your main concern )

do please do that list - and be honest with him, because he is there to help, though his hands may be tied on some aspects, he HAS to help you somehow, and saying he can't isn't really on. LIttlelegs says so

do try and get some good sleep, (in a bed!) and I'll talk to you somehow tomorrow. maybe at a more civilised time

hugs
WOnky xxxxx
