Hi to all, soz not been around for a while :( missed you all, I've looked in every now & then & checked in on you :)

I hear you're missing me jet !! ;) I'm still here.....I just won another pair of boots on ebay to get me kickstarted again!!! not as nice as my other ones tho'!!

I'm still around, poor Paddy was worried too :(

I've just got a lot on at home at the mo' trouble with family stuff......

Also struggling with various symptoms, migraines, very painful bones & joints.....maybe it's the cold but it's starting to worry me, also keep going dizzy, soooo tired........

Had an appointment at a 'shrink' yesterday.....it was what the neurological doc' suggested in London, so I went so not to upset another doc' & get kicked out of another hos' !!

The result was.....she couldn't understand why I was refered there as I was getting on with life well considering!!!!

Added stress of homelife doesn't help....but who doesn't have it !!

She says I cope well with it, with the hobbies I have, how I'm trying to raise awareness of it in my area, looking after animals that need help plus having a goal to start my own business up next year!

My blood had gone a little thinner than it should be & i've had a bladder infection ( like I always get when inr goes above 3.8 ish ) so been on anti biotics again.

Docs were considering steroid injections to my joints when I spoke to them on the phone earlier this week? I don't think I want that if I can help it!

Also want to make an appointment to see a dietician again.....so I can be given a list of everything to avoid, what to have more off, what in moderation etc & which suppliments I could take....... been meaning to ask to see one for ages.

Still waiting for phone to be put on too!! been over a month now....I want to chat to local papers to make appointments to write articals about APS to raise more awareness here, something else that got put on hold....but I'm getting there!! :)

Not forgotten any of you......thinking of you all as always, hope you are as well as can be :) xx

Big hugs to you all.......you're all so lovely & we know how each other feels with our usual struggles.....

yep, new boots jet!! I'll keep using my other ones tho'!! :)

I promise I'll try not stay away so long next time....

Yep would love to hear from both of you....give us a bell....I cant ring out!!! :(

Went to docs earlier & he agreed with me not to have the steroid injections unless really needed.

I forgot :/ to ask about the advice of a dietician!! duh!!

My inr was checked & now its gone down to 2.9!! we cant understand it as if anything it should have gone higher with the antibiotics ??

Furry critters were up to mischief when I got back earlier!!

I went with my Mum today to join her as I sometimes do to her weekly dancing at a nearby club & when I got dropped off back home I went to clean & feed everyone & the rabbits had broke their door down again! & were running around their run & in my shed! they had ripped bags open, trashed the shed & after I cleaned that up I went to the ferrets & the 2 new girls 'Mischief' & 'Bonnie' kept climbing out the run & I had to go & get them!!

is it a full moon today :)

xxxxx

As everyone above have said we all have our down days when we feel alone and people do not understand the pain or stuff we go through but i agree whole heartedly with all the above you are one of peoples fighters and i believe if anyone can pull through it is you and considering everyones calling you i am going to as well lol

Look after yourself and you know we all here if you need a cry, laugh or rant not in that order but hey you have friends.

Ok Jet security has been tightend on the sight they not sure as to why you had issue you are an enigma but i said you were a prominent person in the community and you were not red flagged with any of your personal datathat you had given to us all now Mickey Mouse how is Disneyland lol

Seriously will keep on but as far as security on the Health Unlocked site it is as tight a forteknocks, the only suggestion they can coume up with is maybe if you have done any online shopping sometimes issues can occur when secre info gets slipped when your computer crashe as we have never had anyone else have the issues you had. Please do let me know if you have any issues but its been fine now for over a month?
