Ouch. :-(

I've had a pretty stressful day today, catching up with a lot of filing that has been hiding itself, well apart from back being very painful, sorted that by piling everything onto my bed and dealing with it from there.......half way sensible Foggy ;-) For the past two or so hours I have had the most horrid pain along my collarbone on the left hand side, it then shoots up through my jaw. I have already taken my meds for this eve, so the only thing left is to take some Oramorph in a little while, but it is so unpleasant and very painful .

Sorry for the whinge, everyone, I don't normally like to bore you senseless, but this pretty severe, even for me,

Apologies, Foggy x

I don't like the sound of that pain at all - sounds like a 'call the doc immediately' sort of thing!

There's an outside chance it could be cardiac in origin, and you don't want to take risks!

Phone out of hours GP or even 999 now foggy as moffy says could be muscle spasm could be cardiac ... Better to be safe than sorry...

call 111 or even 999 as the girls have said. - they'd rather come out t 100 false alarms than miss 1..

Thank you both. I think I will ring the on call dr, it's such a weird feeling, like nothing I've had before, I was thinking it would be muscle spasm actually .....thank you dear friends,

Muchly. Foggy x

Hi all, ambulance came but couldn't get their ECG machine to work so they had to take me down to the ambulance (it couldn't get down our little lane) . ECG ok, blood pressure through floor. It looks like it was muscle spasm as we'd thought though they said if it starts again as bad as it was, to call 999 immediately. The ambulance men were just so kind, and came back to my cottage to do the paper work (masses, poor things) so I gave them restorative coffee

Thanks so much for all your help and kindness !!

So glad it was indeed a muscle spasm .......

Only you could have a possible medical emergency and then end up with hunky paramedics in your kitchen supping coffee..... Last time I needed an ambulance when I had a severe reaction to a new meds ..... Slurred speech couldn't walk ... I got an irritated woman who seemed positively peeved that I hadnt taken an overdose or had a stroke..... I tried not to get annoyed by her attitude when I had my wits about me again to think maybe she was new to the job and was desperate for a dramatic case to put her skills to use ....... Wants to do an paramedic swap for future emergencies ... :D

Foggy has been on the pull - she can't resist a hunky paramedic, and she seduces them with her coffee and cream cakes! :D

Seriously - we're all glad to hear that you're not at death's door, Foggs - we need you!

Hi just read your blog and glad you are ok, I had a muscle spasm similar to what you had a while back during the night and it is VERY painful!

Thank you all so so much for your kind words. I was feeling better this morning and then my *expletive deleted* landlady has had a real go at me basically saying she won't do the work needed on my cottage, so not only am I physically a bit rough, I'm now completely shot through emotionally, not knowing whether to move (I've suffered so much rubbish at her hands over the 7 years I've been here, I've paid for things she should have done, I've helped her time and time again, all for little if any thanks) I've been sobbing for the last hour and my head feels like its going to explode. The one place I've felt safe is now in question and I just wish I could find a corner to crawl into and disappear . :-( :-( :-(

what a cow! ignore her, and her bitterness, you can look into what to do another day.

Today, just concentrate on yourself and feeling better than yesterday :)

Thank you Sandra, she is indeed a cow of a lowest order, I wish she did not live right next door to me, so that I could ignore her full stop. Head still throbbing but the spasm is much better, so that's a positive.
