Stop doing that it takes a lot of energy to think so hard about our illness and it brings us down I understand your pain exhaustion and frustration BUT piling on guilt gives you the luxury of feeling sorry for yourself and becoming not only a patient for your hubby to look after but also a poor victim, I know this sounds harsh but the very same attiude ..about me and pride led me into a suicidal state,

Let people help they are not doing it out of pity but out of love and it lightens hubbys load of work and stress like I said I sound nasty but I am only trying to stop u hoing down like I did hugz petal

Yes, Teresa - relax until you feel better and then you'll be able to cope much more easily. I still had packing cases lying around a year after I moved, so don't feel bad about it - you're far from unusual!

Accept any offers of help that you can. Why not? I'm sure that if you were fully able that you would help others less fortunate.

You and your husband should take some time out together and relax a bit, that will improve his blood pressure. At least you are happy about your new house, even if it does need a lick of paint. The main thing is that you and your family are warm, safe and comfortable - nothing else matters.

Don't know what to say about your GP - it's possible he's given you 'generic' medicines, which are exactly the same, but manufactured outside the original patents licence - one example is that some people get a Ventolin inhaler, and have had it changed to Salbutamol - exactly the same medicine, but much cheaper. See link below for more info.

If you're not satisfied with your medication, tho' you need to go back and discuss it!

Hope things look up for you soon!
