Afternoon Bonnie

Sorry you are still not feeling so good

Try & remember your new meds will not be working yet & the change from one to another can take a while to settle

You had a very stressful day yesterday & coped really well , but when I have days like yours , it can leave me so drained afterwards & takes so much out of me , I can feel ill the rest of the week !

This could be another reason you feel like you do today

The taste in your mouth , could be the meds , maybe a side effect & will go , also another possibility could be you are coming down with something , like a virus , that can give that metal taste you talk about

Your headaches & neck pain sound like tension , i get both , again until I start to relax , it doesnt go & even pain killers dont help

I am sure nothing bad is happening , maybe give it till the end of the week & if you really dont feel any better you could ask your GP

Try not to fear how you feel , & rest like you would if you had flu or something

(((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Thank you whywhy, the bad taste in my mouth can be there with nausea ,and has done this for a few months now. and hands are going white a lot, I think that maybe have a gastric prob due to not eating proper for a long time, my stomach always feels rough, and yes was a very bad day yesterday, the same today except without his mush on the door step , I hope you are well today whywhy and taking it easy. thank you very much for yesterday.

Love

Bonnie

Like "without his mush on the door step " lol

Yes Bonnie alot of us that suffer with anxiety , seem to have stomach problems , we dont always eat as well as we should & then when we do , through been anxious , we dont digest our food as well , this does start causing gastric problems

I used to have this really bad , even was on meds for it , then its not cheap but someone told me a spoonful of Manuka 10+ honey a day helps , so I started taking it

Now the meds are in the bin & my stomach has been the best it has in years !! most days I just take a teaspoon , other days I might take two , but it has worked

Costs about 12 pounds a jar , but lasts up to 3 weeks which works out at 4 pounds a week , which as I have found it so good , I think I am worth 4 pounds a week lol

I no its hard when you feel anxious to eat , but even if its only small amounts try & concentrate on eating , can upset your stomach taking meds with not alot in your stomach & they say meds work better with food as well

You can come on here & tell us what you have eaten for the day & we can try & encourage you if you like

Thank you whywhy you are so kind, where did you get the manuka from? With food my daughter gets it for me as I don't bother, I don't seem to get the hunger pangs anymore, and when she does bring it, I look at it, and my thoughts are I do not want it, then I think ok just do what you can, then I just get what I can down as quick as I can. I don't enjoy any of it, its tastless to me.

Just latley I tell her just a piece of toast or a Weetabix, no dinners or veg, cant face dinners, so maybe this why I have prob with stomach, I also wont sit up and eat what I do, I lay down , as wen I sit up head always whoozie, so I avoid sitting up.

Love

Bonnie

Have you tried doing on line Tesco food shopping ?

They charge 3 or 4 pounds delivery , which for me is still cheaper than bus fair

Thats where I get mine from & honey

Also you will get indigestion bad if you are not sitting up to eat (shocked face )

I no how hard it can be to eat when you just dont feel like it

Even if you dont want to shop on line for food , you could look & it might give you ideas what you might fancy , other than what your daughters bring

Well jetser , did you see his post , he is doing on friday , a post where we say 1 to 3 positive things we have done each week

Would be lovelt=y if when I look yours says you have eaten a little more & sat at the table (winking face )

It may feel strange & an seffort to do so at first , but it will be worth it

Try hun & post & tell me if you manage it

Have a look though online , there is Sainsburys & Asda as well , it might give you some food ideas

The shopping is done online , loads of nice food, I tell my daughter what I want to eat, she never happy about it, but I cant seem to look a proper dinner in the face, I suppose you can get out of the habit of eating proper when you feel ill everyday. I will try the positive thing on a Friday, I have posted a bit bout me and my children and dogs on there for now. The laying down all the time came from my head and the vertigo I did it to avoid dizziness and have been doing it ever since, I think that maybe why now that when I try to sit up my head is whoozie. Thank you whywhy for your help,

Love

Bonnie

Well maybe for now tell your daughter , even though you appreciate that she is trying to get you to eat , that you are going to try & get a few bits what you fancy

I have vertigo , its not as bad now , mainly if I get a cold , so I no how that feels , are the docs not helping you with that

If you tell them all , they should be doing more

It is the habit that we can get into ,but slowly chip a bit away , no rush , just a bit at a time

I no its not easy . I dont like going out as you no , but when it comes to the hospital & health I have to force myself its not easy , but again we will help

Make that appointment , thats another positive lol & post when it is coming up , sp people can try & support you

They are ENT , so let them look & they are the experts , they must come across people that are taking antdepressants before & i am sure will have another option

Your positive list is growing

Yes would be good idea to see what the can do, I did have the eplay treatment in the beginning , but two days later I collapsed in Tesco, and from that day it all started, spent two mnths in bed, crawled the floor to the loo, and while in bed anxiety symptoms started. so I am a bit put off having that again.

Love

Bonnie
