Morning all,

Have no idea why i forgot to take my nightly dose of meds, but by the time i remembered it was half 11 and was no good taking amitriptyline then..
I lay tossing and turning for hours and could feel the pains twinging in wrists, ankles, elbows and knees.. great i thought..
I last looked at the time around 2am, and must have finally dozed off..
Woke at 6 this morning feeling like i had done ten rounds with Mike Tyson, sore achy and stiff..Bit deflated as yesterday i was ok and managed some odd jobs and a dodgy cake lol.., so i think a mixture of yesterdays antics and missing my tablets last night has made me feel the way i do today..
so looks like i won't be doing much today, again,, :lol:
Oh said go back to sleep.. if only it was that easy when you got pain going on eh? i wish lol..
How is everyone else feeling today??

    Good morning Tracey, I'm so sorry you feel so ruff today, I'm suffering with my tummy still at the moment. It keeps having cramps. The only way to describe it is like having period pains. They double me over. Glad I'm at the doctors on Friday afternoon to sort out the meds to get rid of this bacteria bug. I'll soon be singing from the roof tops again!! (in my dreams!!) :lol: Hope you feel better soon and remember to take your nightly meds or I will come and give you a smack on the hand!! :lol: Amanda/bubbadog

    Period cramps.. horrible, i am lucky i do not have to worry about that i had partial hysterectomy few yrs ago..What kind of bug do you have, sounds not very nice, whatever it is...
    I look forward to hearing you singing from the rooftops..What will you be singing Amanda?? something upbeat and joyous??
    I have CJ dropping me a gentle reminder later, but the way i am feeling i doubt i will miss them tonight... pain has brought tears to my eyes.. will not give in though.. :lol::lol:
    You take care and hope you feel better soon..x

    I reckon you won't forget tonight, traluvie, and I hope you have a better night as a result. I don't know what to suggest to help you remember - we all have different lives and different timetables. DD

    First you throw yourself into the laundry basket and then you go picking a fight with a heavyweight champion. What will you do for an encore, Traluvie?
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    You mean the grogginess??
    I have learnt to get up on the first alarm or when i wake up as if i drift back off it makes me feel worse..I also rest with a cuppa for at least an hour lol, before i function, this is so pain meds kick in and i am more awake..There are days when i could just sleep sleep sleep, and often have to give in even if it is shut eye for 10 mins lol..xx
    Could always throw a bucket of cold water over ourselves lol..xx

    Hi Tracey, I've had a hytroectomy, a full one. I was making a comparison to period pains because that was the only thing the pain was close to. I'm on Amitriptyline as well, 30mg at night to help me relax and sleep. They do make you feel like a zombie but I don't mind that at bedtime. I have a good meds reminder, my OH in the morning before work and in the evening before bed he will ask me if I've taken my meds, if I haven't he will stand over me till I have! Lunchtime is the only time I have to remind myself and I will never have lunch till my meds are in front of me ready to be taken. Hope your feeling less beaten up today and that Tyson has moved on to his next opponant! Take care neighbour!! :lol: Amanda.xx
