It is absolutely freezing in the North East....Peter went out about 8.30am and had to scrap the ice of the car. I'm cold and arthur is having a field day
Thanks for that cup....think I need it

Don't believe a word of it, skezier. She read it 6 times then called Breagh in to explain the last bit. She had a big grin on her face when she left.

So, it snot monsters's ark down there, is it? I'm sorry. It does seem to be one thing on top of another....and another....and another....and...

Sending you a truckload of tissues and a big urnful of tea cos the last lot I got was green and it worried me a bit.

Hi Hileena, Sticky, Marion and Julie,

Oh I was stupid last night.... felt really cold. I have both raynaud's and achro and the winter is hard..... anyway was cold and clammy and feeling half dead so went to bed under the over blanket, 2 duvets and a sheet and eiderdown... then a swamp of cats also aware the over blanket sometimes works.....

it was basically cook at 200 for 3 hours to wake horribly hot and feeling iller

So very tired today cus the one I haven't got is kicking, the eyes are kicking and the joints are kicking but loo.... 2 handed!!!! The pulling about I gave it all has subsided quite well now

Hileena oh they can open bags and chew tins but they wont share..... I think one or two might also think about eating me if i WERE TO ACTUALLY HIBERATE.... sorry the caps went on there for a min. Tea in the special cup xx

Sticky DD is like that Bre said......

Hope your warm enough up there? have got you a couple of duvets and a cat or two as well to help keep you warm but the sheep have made you a bit of accommodation on the bales again....

he is in his very best big bear costume.... hope your ok flower? xx

Marion The wind is bad and cuts you in half just now.... The fingerless glove's have come out again and the big thermal socks as well/

How are you doing now? Is the infusion helping at all? Hope you finding it is. Hugs and a cuppa xx

Julie you know I have had this cold now for 3 years.... It just keep re-infecting and now its doing it v=with vengeance...

its connected now to the mtx it was connected to the sulfa.... I get the re-infection 3 days after I jab the mtx so its kinda predictable now....

Wish I knew how to stop it....

Hope you have had a decent week end so far? xx

barbara12

Hi Cris
I have just come back from my hols, but I really was thinking about you, I hope things get easier very soon.
I did read something about patches whatever they are I hope you get some relief ..sending you lots of hugs and slurps (((((())))) x

skezier

Hi Barbara1,

Really good to see you back Hope you had a good time there?

The patches my friend are local anesthetic.... my skin often feels flayed basically.... over sensitive to the pain under it and the peripheral nerves being bashed and pushed about by the rubbish that is my neck
I often hear the 2 I;s telling me to put the collar one

I know its pathetic but even a t-shirt can hurt this over the bones.... the patches kill off the skin feeling.... it was another tip the pain doc tried and it works

Really is nice to see you back and hope your feeling ok? ((((( ))))) and a cuppa Cris xx

magenta

Hi Cris,

Sorry to hear you're STILL having so much pain. Will it ever end?

Hugs (((((())))))

skezier

Hi Eileen,

Oh flower I really am not 'working' in a way conducive to the bones.... I can't stop cus I couldn;t bare what I would have to do.....

I have never had the pa controlled and well its aggravated by all this oa.... they really slogging it out in the same joints

Teg hurt in so many ways and well its just a bit rough for a while now.... I think I am broken in a few ways just now :roll:

Promise will go do pm's and leaving you a ((((( ))))) and we both need the bucket of universal fixer eh?!

Be good if we could get it eh?! xx

CJHunter

Hi Cris, just remembered something that i was going to mention. When i had costrocondritis i was told that if the steroid dint work i could use a cream which was derived from chillis. Apparently it deadens the nerve endings, would this be any good for you??

C xx

skezier

Hi Clare,

wow thats worth a try, I know the one you mean and there was a post long ago about it as well as it being mentioned somewhere else here I think.

I got that flower and it just keeps coming back so will def try it I promise.

Have a decent day Cris xx

CJHunter

Hi Cris, will have a look n see what i can find.
Have good day yourslef..xx

Hi Chris, glad the patches are helping your hyper-sensitive skin. Sounds like your bones are doing their worst as usual. Hope your menagerie continue to give you at least as much joy as angst.

S is happily settled in a local college and likes the fact that he comes home each night. I have a bit more time available as he goes to college 9 to 5, so have a bit of time to potter at school before coming home to meet his bus. I'm rundown at the moment and catching everything going - all that stress and battling getting his placement sorted over so many months, has taken its toll. Don't want to mention my joints in case I jinx them!

Speedy

Hello my lovely, I hope you are as well as you can be. My mum is here at the moment so that is taking a deal of my time. We took both mums out for lunch today but once home you-know-who sneaked off, saying he had work to do. I am not sure when watching Casablanca began to count as work but hey-ho. :roll: Right, joints everywhere are kicking off so time to go. I have been thinking of you, very much. DD

Hi Cris,

Well the weather is not doing you many favours, the dampness penetrates doesn’t it. I was having a think about the carrying of the water still and I have 200 ltr drums below the run offs and gutters on the shed and greenhouse. We use the siphon method to fill the pond so if you could get some guttering set up on the sheepies house maybe it would work for you too??

Mind you we dont have horses using the outbuildings as scratch posts...yet!! We do have three "chubby" horses now in the field next to us and my rustic wall is going down by the yard... :roll:

Sorry about the re-infection coming back with gusto for you. Now did someone mention collars or back braces???
Glad you have the fire going and the electric blanket. Aw Sid and manky missed dinner again!! Cannot understand it there was a southerly breeze to help them too. Perhaps they held wings too hard and ended up going round in circles.

Hugs as always,
Lv, I x

Battern down the hatches Cris, some gales down your way today.

Hi Clare, Speedy, DD, I, Suzy and Joan,

Sorry been AWOL but this time for a nice reason

Got some friends staying close by and well its been lovely.. though its involved far too much cream and saffron and of course the scones.... well you rarely can fine splits

The weather ha been awful..... i mean awful.... rain like you wouldn't believe, Meva has had more flooding and well the tonight its a beautiful clear evening with all the stars out and about.....

Going West tomorrow so your all welcome to come....

I did Sundays sale, they so take it out of me and then the thing I haven;t got started and I was wished beyond wished.... went for quick kip yesterday at 2 and didn't wake till 6 :shock:

Th neck is still some swollen.... and hot.... and why can't they do some kind of surgical intervention?!

The good thing is though at last the lumber is a little quieter.....

The friends are so good.... Its (I hope she doesn't mind me saying ) Wonky and her hubby and of course my mate Little-Legs who is absolutely lovely..... very sweet and different;y got her box of costumes....

Its been so good to spend time with people who actually understand!

I can't tell you how Nice its been cus I walk slow, I really do and I can't really do much of a spurt..... they understand and her oh is so kind and helpful... so to push my luck.... he is going to play with the pounder

Some one started a thread about the cold (I am sorry I don;t remember who) but you know this damp cold..... it gets into every bit of you and is hell on the joints......

I hope you are all ok and sorry i am behind on the forum and on pms.... I will catch u I promise.

Love and a ton of ((((( )))))'s Cris xxx
