To all my friends on this site, thank you so much for all your support in the past. I am delighted to tell you that the courts are allowing me to take him to court over the finances. It has been a very difficult time. It’s two and half years since I left him, but because of all your support, I have kept my head above the water. My tremor unfortunately has worsened. I am unable now even pick up a cup without spilling my tea. I spoke to my doctor yesterday and he’s again referred me to see a neurologist. Hopefully this time I will be able to get the help I need. The last time I saw a neurologist, he did not even have the decency to lift his head up and speak to me, he just gave me the same medication I had received before and I explain to him it did not work and the side-effects were dreadful. He said to me take them, so I did and the side-effects are the same. My doctor told me again to stop taking them. I am back to the beginning. Hey Ho, again, my thanks, for all your help and support during this difficult time in my life maybe no, the rest of my life will be totally different with lots of love, Liz and Shelly 🙏🌹

Hi Liz,

You are going through so much and it has been a long time to wait.

I hope that you will get a positive outcome and can truly start to heal and then find peace...

I am so sorry that the tremor has worsened. It makes simple tasks like holding a cup very difficult for you. I am so sorry...

I am not sure if it is exacerbated by the stress and trauma that accumulated and I just hope it will get better once there is less stress.

I think a good neurologist can be very helpful.

I am so sorry you had such a bad doctor that wasn't putting any effort and that you had to take medication causing bad side effects.

Doctors should work together with a patient and listen...

I hope that stopping the medication at least brings relief with side effects.

My heart truly goes out to you and what you have endured...

I hope you have moments of peace enjoying time with Shelly. 💖

Hi there, Perhaps with luck, you may find your old Neurologist has retired, and you get referred to a new one.

I have found they do like to retire early and swan off somewhere else to the sun sea, and sand of warmer climes, while they still have the energy!

Fingers crossed,

Cheers, Midori

Hi yes mine has retired but the last neologist I saw did not even have the decency to look up when he was speaking to me. He said take these and when I said I have tried to use them but the side effects were horrible, he replied take them again. End of appointment.

Appalling. Not a good bedside manner at all.
