No need at all for thanks...... Looking forward to it, let's hope the sun shines on us, actually it will definitely shine on us as it's virtual we can make sure of that :-) :-)

Ooooeeeee I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, as the song goes, (maybe it doesn't go that way at all, just silly foggy head with no brain ;-) )

in reply to nikk1975

This is the virtual day trip that is happening tomorrow where we enter the world of make believe and stretch our imaginations Nikk

It's an opportunity to distract ourselves from the pain and sadness that we feel and have some fun and giggles, plenty of silliness too usually so please join us if and when you can.

Laughter is a good medicine and also a good way to relax.

Hope to see you tomorrow

Fibrofoggiest in reply to bluebell99

What a good and organised list, just leave the bird food for the ravens behind, they don't like people feeding them :D There is a special beefeater whose job includes the feeding of the ravens, don't understand why though :o

Glad you are looking forward to it :-)

Hi zosie,Iam a lot better than I was Yesturday.Spent all day in bed with stomached cramps,nausea and pain and even managed to get a bit of sleep which is amazing as I can never normally sleep in the day.Back pain is still bad but manageable.How are you?xxx

in reply to haribo36

Hope you have got your boing all charged up :D

in reply to haribo36

I had my blood taken for tests on Tuesday to check my ferretin, b12 etc

I'm lacking sleep but shall play when I am awake :D

Glad to hear you feel much better. Having a good or at least better day an really lift the spirits and give you hope.

I'm feeling better or the time off work and my new meds are really helping.

She's lovely zosie,how old is she?xxx

Zosie profile image
Zosie

She's about 6 but we've only had her since June. We rescued her :)

Hey Zeb, hope that b12 comes back low and they can give you injections and fix the worsening fatigue. Xxx

in reply to Zosie

well I'm not sure what'll be the result but my ferretin levels are often way off meaning my body isn't storing haemoglobin properly, I hate iron tablets but especially when I'm not anaemic :o

Could I have decaf coffee with nothing please, well hot water naturally ;)

Lovely of you to bring the brews thankyou :D

:) xxxzebxxx :)

Zosie profile image
Zosie

There you go, one decaf coffee in a special Zeb mug :)

My ferretin level was ok at 35 and my folate and b12 were fine, but my haemoglobin was 11.8 whereas the healthy range is 12 - 14. I know it's not far off, but I know if it was at 13 I'd feel loads better.

So I can have enough iron etc but not enough red blood cells. The doctor told me to take iron tablets but I can't see how that can help as my iron is fine...

Confused!!

in reply to Zosie

Ditto :o it sounds crazy to me too but if the doc says so I do it even if I don't like it :) I already take vitD3 for life and have vitD creams etc for psoriasis too so nothing surprises me anymore :D

Maybe we could do some looking up on-line to see whether we can find some answers.

Cheers for the cuppa its perfect xxx
