In growing toenail

Now it's not funny because it really hurts but what I am wondering is will my doctor tell me it's the fibro? Or equally likely will I be telling myself that it is fibro and will soon go away. Ha both are equally likely aren't they. But nothing will stop me eating lots of lovely chocolate bunnies.

Hi my friend

I am so truly sorry to read this, and it does sound awfully painful. I agree that a referral to a podiatrist would be the best way to solve this issue. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and (loads of chocolate bunnies!), please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi 1 dog 1 kid, I think that chocolate should be prescribed on the NHS. It definitely makes you feel better in the short term, if only it came calorie free.

Hey Sheila. I agree but I think sunshine and holidays should be THE priority. My GP actually said " if we could prescribe holidays on the NHS we wouldn't need to dispense half the pills we do"

Ouch, nasty! I would certainly see someone about it, sometimes the Practice nurse can sort something out for you if you think it is not worth bothering the doctor about.

Flip flops for you today then!

Hey guys thanks for the sympathy. I was trying to make you all smile. Epic fail hey. Have had it removed once,then it became infected now it has grown back again 3 years later. I do no it's not fibro. Just referring to the many symptoms we have and ignore as we think they are part of fibro. ( toe nail obviously not) . Take care and eat chocolate.x

I can cope with it, still chuckling,snorting coz the dog has given me a filthy look and left the room. Cheek of it, doesn't he know I am all alone today? Have become very good at self surgery/ mutilation. 😷 Before anyone sympathises or thinks I am self harming. Just the toenail,a craft scalpel and sharp tweezers. Works a treat sometimes. The days of being able to get my toenails between my teeth are no more. Can still put my foot in my mouth tho.🤣
