feeling utterly whacked.

[tettridge]

At the moment I am having a really bad time and seem to be only get on the computer for an hour or so every couple of days. I hope that when we get a bit more stable weather I will be able to function again a bit better than I am doing now.

Sorry to those who I have read and who need help and support and it is just the support that I have been unable to give but it is so exhausting just writing this. (it has taken me two days just to write this, I have put this in after I wrote everything else, if that makes sense.)

I do not think that it is only me that can help these people, i know that it is all of us sending back a reply and letting them know, we know how they feel, but i have not been able to even do that lately. I feel that they are writing because they are desperate and want answers as to how long these flare ups last and to tell them it is like a ball of string, it is just so difficult to know and this latest bout to weather has mucked up my ball of string completely so If I didn't know better I would be so despondent I would want someone to tell me what is happening and to be told your problems are partly to do with the weather must seem a bit like monkey medicine but it is just part of the nature of the illnesses.

I know that this is due to the weather and as soon as the barometer slows down going up or down and gets steady i shall feel much better. but I do feel such a sympathy for those who are suffering with no idea as to what is making this so bad.

So to all of you out there, when you read a post or question from a member take a little bit of time to let them know they are not alone and we suffer similar pains as they do and to make them feel welcome.

Thank you

Take care and kindest regards

Hi ((Terry)),

Having read your post, I thought, well that is almost exactly what I could be writing. I am convinced that a lot of us are trying to cope with big flares attributable to this ghastly weather. I know I have written to one or two people today alone, saying about how we could be barometers with our bodies being a very good indication of when pressure is coming sweeping in at either extreme !

I'm so so sorry you are feeling so rough and I completely agree! we should help each other realise we are not alone in our suffering, in essence that is what the site is for. I know we all have fun and games sometimes, and that can lift some of us, maybe not so for others, but we need to support everyone in whatever way we can.

I'm sending lots of positive healing thoughts your way Terry

Morning foggy how are you today, I hear the weather is going to turn bad again, do hope it doesn't affect you in any way, ((((( F )))) take care my friend...Dee xx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Cookie72]

Oh my word Dee it is absolutely ghastly! I had to take my landlady into Axminster to catch a bus, I really didn't want to, but hey....she's my landlady..... Anyway going out we just about managed to get through but I had to go miles and miles out of my way to get back into the village and in that time the river has come over and I've had to get someone to bring sandbags, I've never seen rain like it, and the fields are just flowing as they are so waterlogged. The winds they predicted haven't arrived her and I'm very worried when they do, I hate stormy winds

I hope you're ok and am sending lots of waterproof positive vibes your way

Morning Terry, so so sorry you are in a bad way at the moment, you are right about the weather, I do feel the sunshine lifts our moods and helps us tolerate the pain a bit better, I look forward to reading more posts from you when you are feeling able to do so,...and as you say we all need support and this is just the site to acquire that, thinking of you and wishing you better by the minute....gentle hug and a handful of sunshine coming your way.....Dee x

[Hidden]

I am really suffering in this weather too. I hope you and all who are suffering bad flares at the moment have some relief soon...here's to better weather soon, fingers crossed x

[tettridge]

Thanks to you all for your replies.

I feel that there is hope for the summer as we are having so much rain we should have a long summer with no rain as we have already had it, also, we will not get a hosepipe ban at least. Unless as my dear wife remarked the other day 'How much more rain can this country have before it sinks' and we do sink.

Take care and Kindest regards

Terry
