Hello, i have been reading the forum since April when the specialist confirmed Spinal Arthritis.... but tonight i thought id have a ickle moan if you dont mind me jumping stright in.,....


I just crack on with it Cry at night with pain Have the BIggest sweats and hot flushes (Full hystorectomy aged 28 so not menapause ...they left my ovaries)
but today i cant smile, My fingers feel like they are bloating, my neck is killing me i sweating like a Fat lapdancer gosh i can go on and on... you guys understand as we are living with this Every single minute of the day.

I have taken my Zapain and amitriptyline for the night and still nothing (mind you dont touch the pain to be honest i just pop the pills to try and fraud my brain)
I have 30mg Morphine but i had to stop taking these as next day I am sick all day and bedridden.
Just feeling Really low...Husband at a Dinner night (army) so cant moan to him....

On a good note reading other posts from you guys least im not a lone and not limited edition some one understands the pain and the joys that come with it...

any how enough self pitty glad i took the plunge and braved to say Hello im new and sorry to have moaned to ya.xxxx

    Hi Tuppie

    Welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you have waited until you wish to have a rant before chatting to us. :wink: Nevermind you are here now and I am sorry that you have had more than enough today. Sounds like it too, I must say. Mind you, it has been sooooooooo hot and humid today that I have felt so lethargic and also kept breaking out in sweats after having done nothing in particular. :shock:

    So hubby at a dinner then? Well, you may well be better off having a rant to us lot, as you say, we do know where you are coming from and I am sure you will get lots of support. I was just going out to do a little cleaning job at the end of the road and saw your posting and wanted to reply. I shall definitely be washed and rung out by the time I get back indoors in about 50 minutes max. :roll:

    Please do not apologise for having a moan, we all do it from time to time.
    I do hope that tomorrow is better for you. :)

    Hi tuppie, welcome to the forum.
    You moan as long and hard as you want, we'll listen. It sounds to me as though you have plenty to moan about!
    I'm sorry you're feeling so rough at the moment and hope it soon improves.
    I look forward to seeing you post in the future.
    Take care,
    Numpty

    Hello tuppie, it's lovely to meet you and I am glad that you have found us. I used to think I was the only one (well, I knew I was, none of my friends had anything like this!) then I found AC and the world changed for the better. You are talking to the initiated here (but you know that, you said you had been looking in since April) and I am so pleased you 'took the plunge' - we are a supportive, informative and friendly bunch of creakers. :wink: I hope you and the husband have summat lovely planned for the week-end and I wish you well.

    Hello All, again.....

    Pain today maybe a 7 i have lived with it for so long I just put up with it and cry inside....

    Pain Clinic appointment finally came throught August 7th lets see how much more money I can waste on Perscriptions.......

    Anyhow the only thing I would love to be removed other then the PAIN is the hot flushes day and night......shall see my Dr next time about it and mention it too him but i shall wait till gets a little colder as i would not want him to think im silly as its recently been hot and humid i think i have seen my Dr more times then he has seen his wife so I shall Leave him alone for a bit.



    Hope we are all ok this evening? xxx

    evening. :D
    I suppose seven out if ten is better than a nine eh?

    Have you thought about getting a pre payment certificate for the prescriptions? If you are going to be paying regularly they are a Godsend. I daredn't think how much mine would cost if I paid full price. I get a yearly certificate, I think it's about £110, but you can pay monthly..
    It's silly really because I'm unable to work and in benefits but because my wife works we gery penalised all the time :roll:
    Anyway, if you've not heard of them before I'm sure the government website will have all the info.

    Take it easy... :D
