Todays Rheumy appointment

stickywicket

Good decision, Tony, although, like mig, I think the sleep may have been very beneficial. Not a great permanent solution though. Hope the doc agrees.

thanks girls

I think I really must have needed the coma-type sleep. It was a long time coming me thinks.
I even tried a different pillow last night but it didn't help at all. Bit of a rough night all in all. Got a few things to do today so will break them up.
Just waking up to a lovely cup of Tetleys..

Off to the cemetery today. See Dad.

Hope everyone is alright?

I will get back to my usual self at some point. Just assume I'm supporting you all

Hi Tony

I too started on 25mg and am still on 25mg....mind I take em no later than 8pm and it took a few days to feel 'myself' again.

Hope you are ok at cemetry will be thinking of you.

Love

Toni xx

bless ya hun.
It was a bit tough going to the grave today. We removed all of the old flowers, and there were plenty, and put a base of fresh ones down.
We them went and had a lovely pub lunch and visited some dear friends.

I had a sudden attack of the pain drain so we headed home. I feel a flare coming on :roll: BUGGER!

Never mind. Can't fight it eh?

As for the tablets, I was taking them at seven, and I was out for twenty four hours lol. I'll have to ring the GP and ask for some 10mg ones and try again.

Thanks hun.

Hello mate, is there any news on having the lesser dose of amytryp? DD

julie47

Hi Tony

Take care

Hi girls

I am indeed flaring :roll: And have spent the day in bed in utter exhaustion.. I've not even rung the surgery for a change in meds yet.. I'll get onto that tomorrow.

Bless ya both..
I hope that you are both ok today xxxxx

joanlawson

Sorry to hear that you're having a flare, Tony. It's just not fair that you have so much pain to cope with. I really do hope that you will get your meds sorted out soon and that you will feel better.
Thinking of you

tjt6768

thanks Joan mi dear
Dint want to tempt fate BUT... Things seem a little easier this morning despite the dreadful weather :roll:
I slept well last night without the use of any knockout potions lol.

stickywicket

Good. I call that a result. (Result of what? Who know? Who cares?) Onwards and upwards.

tjt6768

bless ya hun.
Took mum to the shops, chemist etc. called to see Toni and the menagerie lol.
One of the cats is pregnant :shock: she has homes fire two already so lets hope she only has two! Lol
The puppy gets on ok with the cats,a couple of them stay well clear though but on the whole it's a good mix.
Then the joints started shouting again and the exhaustion kicked in once more. So I'm back home with my GREAT WHITE DOPE drooling all over me, anyone would think I'd been gone a month lol. He's Daddy's baby haha..
I'm gonna rest now till it's time to get Janet.
Oh, and I called in at the docs and ordered some milder amitriptoline too. They'll be ready tomorrow afternoon
Thanks Sticky hun. Hope you're ok today?

Morning Tony

Glad things felt a little better on waking this morning.....But....looks again like you have over done it :roll:

Good though that you are now being good and resting with your furry purry pillow I hope you recover (you will ) by the time you need to pick up janet.

Lets hope the new dose of amitrip helps.

Take care
Love Juliepf x

tjt6768

thanks hun.
Yep, the furry purry pillow is currently trying to drag my hand away from the phone so I'll stroke him instead lol.

bubbadog

Hey Tony my dear friend! I'm back and tanned from Gran Canaria! I'm so sorry to hear your having a flare, Man if anyone deserves a break you do!! Glad to hear the big white dope is taking care of his Daddy! Send you & Jan HUGE (((HUGS)))

tjt6768

Thanks Val, Bubba

I do keep having little rests honest :oops:

It's my Grandmas 93rd birthday today so have been to see her with mum, left her there while I pick Janet up.
Then back again
This morning was spent at Toni's checking in on the pooch and the cats, especially Betty, the pregnant one :shock:

I'm tired now so I'll rest when I get home. This change in weather is horrid. Joints feel full of acidic vomit :x

Hope that you two girls are well

dreamdaisy

Acidic vomit? Ye gods. :shock: I emapthise with that feeling mate, my joints are not happy bunnies today, but then that's hardly new. :roll: I went to get my new supply of meth then swanned off to the docs to attend their hypertension clinic. I also dropped in a letter requesting a flu jab as I am no longer automatically invited. My patience with this dross is currently wearing very thin. :oops: I hope the reduced amytryp is helpful. [] DD

mig

Hi Tony,Hope the lower dose suits you better,happy birthday to gran hope she has a good day.R A is a star you could rent him out if you didn't need him so much.Rest when you can love to all.Mig

tjt6768

DD, yep, I think acidic vomit sums the feeling up nicely.. Bloody Hell, is it jab time already :shock: When was summer then? Did we have one and I slept through it??
The weather yesterday was truly horrid, doesn't take long for it to change eh? I usually have the flu jab too, can't remember when I usually have it though, I've been known not to remember things you know :?
Sorry things aren't great hun. Viz Migs idea I shall be sending down the GREAT WHITE DOPE for twenty four hours at a reasonable charge of £18.95 per hour inc.. Payment to be made in full by days end the morrow. Cash transfer if you please

Mig, thanks hun. Grandma had a great day yesterday. She has plenty of cards up on the wall now and a huge balloon filled with helium, I've told her to hold onto it when she wants to sit up lol.
The home where she is were going to do her a birthday cake for after her tea last night.
As regards to Ra, great idea, I think I'll make plenty lol.
as a thank you I shall send him over to yours straight from DD's for the day gratis.. Please ensure he gets fed... Lol

barbara12

bubbadog

You behave and rest that poorly body of yours! Your body is definatly tells you what you need and yours is screaming 'REST!!' So do it! Love to Ra & Jan and gentle ((HUG)) to you.

joanlawson

Hi Tony, I hope you are feeling a bit better today, and the flare is subsiding.
Your great white dope is looking down at me as I type ( from the calendar you sent to me ) Beautiful fluffy pillow :!:
So Toni's cat is pregnant :shock: Now how did that happen :?: Wish I could have one of the kittens, but we've got full house with Tommy and Venus.

tjt6768

Hi folks. Sorry I've been awol a few days. Just been a rough few days.. Well, to be honest a bloody rough year but the last couple of months really have taken their toll on me.. So I've been hiding from everything and everyone...
The new ami's are helping with the sleep, once I get to sleep that is.. Joints have been rather irritable on a night lately... Can't get comfy enough to actually get to sleep. The lower dose isn't too bad the next day either.. Joan, you still have the diary? Lovely He's a big pudding ya know..
Yep, Betty is up the duff, due any day now. Toni is on about keeping one of the kittens :shock:
She already has seven plus the puppy.. Insane...

Bubba, glad you enjoyed your hols mi dear, wish I was somewhere nice n sunny right now..

Barbara, thank you hun..

And thank you everyone else..

I'll try to be back to normal posting wise as soon as I can
Hope all are well

The diary has pride of place on my kitchen wall, Tony.
Ra smiles down at me every day He's a very beautiful pudding

It sounds as though Toni's soppier than me over cats, but seven must take quite a lot of looking after, not to mention the money it costs to feed them all plus the puppy :shock:

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well at present Tony. You've had such a stressful time recently, so I do hope that things will improve for you soon.

Love Joan x
