Lovely thoughts & photo... Hoping you have a very Merry xmas... Great to still be part of our courageous group of strong & special folks.... Hugs all around & to you misty....
Lovely seeing you here maggie and your faithful furry friend. How are you and how did those tests go?. I do hope they led to much needed help and treatment after so long waiting.
Have a safe, happy christmas and i hope 2022 is a much healthier year for you. Xx🐶❤🐶
Thanks for asking.... Would you believe still waiting for my results! Left a message with gastro secretary who told me the earliest he could see me was for an appt. was the end of January. So I said that I hoped if it was serious he would call me!!! He was off on holiday.... I am sure he would....
Having had my internal digestive system flushed for these tests seem to have helped & I've been fasting abit and only eating a very small amount in the am. which has calmed my stomach.... Wondering too if last steroids helped just delayed reactions...???
Absolutely fatigued so like all of us pacing myself...
Have a very Merry xmas !!! Nice to see all the activity on HU... 😊ml
Oh maggie, i can't believe your now struggling to get your gastro results.This has gone on way too long. They must have something to tell you saying earliest you can be seen is end jan!!. I do hope you've got an appt then. Im glad you've improved flushing it all out and as you say maybe the steroids and fasting have helped. Our digestions can do funny things.
Ive been left with a new diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency but i can't see the consultant Endo till at least Jan sometime and im so symptomatic!!.im on waiting list for an appt. Its horrible isnt it knowing somethings wrong and you can't get to the treatment to be helped. ?.
I do hope maggie you and your family have a safe, happy and peaceful christmas. 🤞for Jan and you finally get the help you need. Xx🐶❤🐶🤞
Thanx maggie for showing me that dachshund link. Im not sure dressing them up to that extent is a good idea do you?. There's overbreeding and what good does it do?. Hope it was for charity. You might think differently maggie having one yourself.
Hope your bloods went well and nurse happy to send message to gp!!.
Do hope you get answers soon, its so important. Keep safe and fighting. Xx
A very merry Dachshund Christmas to you too Misty and I hope 2022 is a good year for you and all in your family x
Im not surprised weathervane. Its such an amazing pic of Smudge. A super 'cutie pic' i think.
Have you recovered from Strictly Final?. What an amazing show but i did think rose and gio did just have the edge but so CLOSE. Its sad its over and no results show today. Do miss it don't we?.
Do hope you hear about your treatment soon weathervane and hope you all have a safe, happy christmas. Best wishes. Xx
Ive just about recovered from strictly, was wonderful, though such a pity only the 2 dancers . Rose definitely deserves her glitter ball , she was amazing 🥰🥰. Hope you get more news about your treatment and maybe you will get an earlier date🙏🏼🙏🏼
Many thanx weathervane, im talking to my gp tomorrow so hope he'll be helpful. Theres talk in the paper today Rose will have a new career at the BBC. Be interesting to see. Take care and be safe. Xx🐶❤🐶🤞🐶❤🐶🎄🐶❤
You too misty 🤗, good luck with gp tomorrow, you are having a rough time at the moment. Haven’t read much of news today , will check out the Rose story!!!Best wishes, stay safe 🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰☃️🎄🤶🏻🕺💃👯♀️
Thanx so much weathervane for your lovely message. Hope you managed to catch up with all the news today. Its heartening hearing how sensible people are being. Hope they are where you are.
I got the letter from the NHS today telling me im eligible for antivirals if i test posotive for covid and telling me what to do. That helps me feel better too. Did have good gp chat but no extra help for adrenals. Got a plan though for watching my liver readings and telling rheumy nurses in Jan. It helps you feel cared for doesnt it?.
I do hope you hear about your treatment. 🤞for us both to hear soonish. Have a lovely christmas and rest . Keep safe. Xx🤞🐶🤞❤🤞🐶
Thanks good news about the anti virals and the increased support from your gp, very positive 🤞🏻. I think we are a bit behind here as there as been not word about the anti virals , i think they are still discussing the plan for a possible lockdown. Alot of bars and coffee shops are closing this week until after Christmas because of staff isolating, i do think it might get worse. We will have to hope that next year will bring more positive news and further steps forward with virus.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas to you and your family, stay safe 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎅🤶🏻☃️🤶🏻🥰🎄⭐️❤️
So agree weathervane. I think its all on a knife edge as they look at the data each day. They do need to make clear decisions and support hospitality more!. Hope you all keep safe and healthy over xmas and have a lovely time. Xx🎄❤👍🤞❤🍀🎄
Our local health correspondent said yesterday that we are down on hospital admissions compared to 5 months ago which is positive 😃Took my youngest to get his booster today , managed to get another box of lateral flow tests very hard to find!!!
Well done Weathervane and glad your youngest son has now had his booster. Its these good pieces of news we have to hang onto and hope they keep coming. Merry Christmas to you all. Take care. Xx
Ive just seen your message weathervane about your date in Jan for retuximab. Ill be keeping 🤞it goes ahead. All the very best and keep safe. Xx🤞🎄🤗🙏🤞🎄🤗🤞
Lovely photo. Dachshunds are one of my favourite dogs. Having eight must be hard work though!
I’m on track for being ready for Christmas. Shopping is finished, mainly thanks to Amazon! Spread out wrapping as I find that the hardest job with my back, hip and finger problems. My brother, who still lives with my Mum too, does the cooking on the day as well as making the most delicious fudge 😋
Have to be honest and say I am a little concerned about this Omicron variant. I was never called for a booster and it turns out that the admin staff put down I didn’t want one when I cancelled the appointment for my flu jab. I’d already had that done at my GP surgery! Will make an appointment myself but will wait until after Christmas just in case I have any reactions. Just wish they would close schools two and a half days early. Why risk staff and pupils contracting this before Christmas? My brother is talking off just keeping my niece off.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas and stay as well as possible. Xx 🎄🎁🎉
Many thanks ge for your lovely message. Sorry your still suffering with your joints. 🤞you get your xray results soon.
What a mistake to put you down as not wanting a booster because you changrd flu jab appt. Sensible now to have it after xmas. This variant is scary as it transmits so fast but ive recently read pfizer jab will give added protection for it. Also, there not seeing flu cases again because of it. I do agree re schools shuttung early. We never did much end of term so it would be a good idea. Hope your brother decides to keep your niece and family safe.
Im nearly ready too, just got the wrapping up to do which is hard!. I do hope you all have a happy, peaceful christmas time. Xx
Hi Misty how cute are these little dachshunds - I wonder how she got them to all line up like that - we have neighbours that have 2 , Mira is frightened to death of them 😂 - I’m hoping your feeling a little better this week , you’ve been through such a lot lately .
Have a very merry Christmas Misty - I’ve so enjoyed all your cutie pics this year - lots of love 💕
Thank you svfarmer for your lovely message. I wondered the same, maybe some bribery as id imagune dachsund's can be quite boisterous?. Is that why mira is frightened?.
I feel worse to be honest because of my adrenals. I keep hoping ill get this appt but everything so up in the air now. Im talking to my gp tomorrow.
I do hope you all have a happy, safe christmas. I love mira's photos too and always look forward to them.
Thanx so much for all your suppirt svfarmer, i really do appreciate it. Keep safe and well. Xx⛄❤🎄🐶🤞Xx
Mira is usually frightened of very big dogs but the 2 that live by us she is so frightened of - don’t know why as they seem lovely little dogs - think it’s all to do with she was socialised properly as she was born in lockdown right at the beginning and I shielded for months on end - yes I can imagine you are feeling quite unwell - I so hope your appointment comes through xxx
Lined up for a photo!! This is what I get when I get my phone out to take a picture of my 2. Pixie the puppy is only 16 wks tho but she spends a lot of time riding around like this on her new brother Ted's back! She is a cockapoo tho not very 'poo' more cocker tho has sausage dog colouring! Bless Ted hes only 2 but he does love her really 🥰
Aren’t they adorable🥰 . I’d love to have a little dachshund, not sure about that many, imagine taking all of those for a walk😆 I love their little Xmas scarves 😍. Thanks for sharing Helen ❤️🐶🐕🦴🐾💓xxx
Glad you liked them dianne. Im so sorry at your op news but as you said its hardly surprising with the covid situation i guess. Its tough though needing it badly and having to wait extra time. 🤞your first on the list on 17/1 ,,but we won't hold our breath even for then will we?. Glad the surgeon seems very nice and is on ladies side!.
Definitely got Strictly withdrawal symptoms and i agree how it ends so abruptly. I thought oh no results show tonight!!. I do watch the xmas show and then that really is it for 9 months. 😪
Have a better, safe week dianne and no rush to be in touch. Look after yourself. Big hugs. Xx🐶❤🐶
Thanks lovely, it is what it is, we just have to hope that things won’t be as bad as some of the predictions say and we’ll all get our appointments and ops soon 🙏.I thought the same about the results show 😢, hopefully there’ll be another ‘The greatest dancer’ to fill the gap a little and the Xmas strictly! Then the long wait to next September 😩.
Take care and hope you manage to get your appointment brought forward to Feb, another thing to chase up😞🤞
Lovely photo Misty. I have a Facebook friend with Lupus who has four gorgeous dachshunds and they pose for the most amazing photos. I really hope you get some respite from the pain lovely. Wow what a Strictly final that was. Great outcome it was so close. I cried buckets. Poor AJ too. Xxx
Lovely cecily you liked the dachsunds. They're very photogenic aren't they?.
Ive definitely got Strictly withdrawal symptoms today and like you i cried so much as it was just a beautiful show. So CLOSE and really hard for A.j. i wonder if they will invite her back when its healed?. I was so thrilled at rose and gio i couldnt get to sleep properly either.
Hopefully in Jan, there will be the Greatest dancer again to help us thru. 😀
I hope you all have a happy, fall free christmas and new year. Keep safe and i hope too your knee improves too. Xx🐶❤🐶
I know my eyes were permanently leaking. Two wonderful contestants and two Strictly firsts. I just loved it. At least we have the Christmas Special next week.I wonder if they will change the Judges on the Gteatest Dancer as the American has had allegations ( the one from Glee). You can never have enough Oti. Thank you for your kind wishes Misty. You have a wonderful Christmas and that 2022 will bring you less pain lovely xxx
Definitely a cutie pic! Hope you get some good news soon. How is your foot doing? I hope not any worse. We foot people have to stick together. I was really sick for a few days and had no choice but to stay off of mine and it liked that. Unfortunately, the rest of my body was worse than the foot at the time. I hope you hear from the endo dr. so you can get some answers really soon. Santa needs to listen.
Pumpkin, thank you for your lovely message and good wishes. Im sorry you've been poorly and i hope you feel better. I hope you've done some good healing ready for your Jan Appraisal. 🤞 the walking boot will go then.
I really hope to hear something from Endo this week as not well with adrenal symptoms. Im talking to gp tomorrow. Foot doesnt like walking even in the house and is more noticable now!!.
Have a happy, safe christmas and take care. Sending healing hugs right back to you. Xx🐶❤🐶🤞🐶❤🐶🤞🐶❤🐶🤞
Haha, what a fabulous picture Misty. 😍👍🏻👍🏻 I hope Santa delivers the present you have requested. 🙏🏻🤞 Have a lovely Christmas Misty. 🎅🏼🎄🎁 Wasn’t Strictly spectacular! 💃🕺🏻We both thoroughly enjoyed it and I was reaching for a hanky several times. 😁 Fab-u-lous! 🤗😘xx
Definitely fab u lous spotty and arent we going to miss it?. Maybe see the xmas special to help withdrawal symptoms. I was in tears too, such an emotional, beautiful show!!.
They might do greatest dancer in jan, enjoyed that too.
I do hope you and your OH have a lovely christmas too. Its only the 3 of us but it does take the pressure off doesnt it?. We all must treasure our closest loved ones again this year!.
Good luck this week and thank you for your special wishes. Will let u know if i do.Keep safe and take care. Xx⛄🔥🎄🎁⛄Xx
You are so right Misty, we’ll definitely miss Strictly. ☹️ But the Xmas special will be a much needed top up. 😉👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for your kind Christmas wishes - we are looking forward to a relaxed quiet Christmas on our own again to be honest. Thanks too for your kind wishes regarding my tests on Tuesday and I’ll be thinking of you and praying I’ll hear from you regarding good news of an appt.🙏🏻 Wishing the 3 of you a very happy Christmas.🎅🏼🎁 Love and hugs 💝🤗😘xx
So are we spotty, be lovely just to chill with no appt's won't it?. We've all earned it. Have a lovely , safe time and enjoy the Strictly top up. TAKE CARE. Xx🎄🤞🎁⛄🤞❤🎄💃Xx
Hi Misty the pic looks lovely but the 2nd one in from the right looks more like a Cavalier King Charles I love my spaniels Merry Christmas to you misty and I hope it is a good one for you xxxxx
Well spotted daniel, maybe mum played away and there was some crossbreeding.king charles are very distinctive arent they?. Thanx for your great message. Keep well and as safe as possible this christmas. 🎄
What a festive bundle of 'sausage dogs'... so adorable💗
Harry the hedgehogs been visiting again, 🦔& we were a little concerned that he's not hibernating, so, to help him out, we have been leaving some hog food out for him..which hes been wolfing down!
🤞🤞it helps his journey back to the land of nod!!
Wishing you & your family a very Merry Christmas Misty, & I really hope Santa has his listening ears on!
Oh daisy, thank goodness you've come to the rescue of harry and your feeding him up for more hibernation. It is worrying when they appear suddenly specially as its so cold at the mo.
Luckily , we've had no sightings of Miss Tiggy or the baby one so hopefully there'll be all tucked up.
Thank you daisy for all your support and lovely wishes for christmas. I hope you and your family have a happy, safe time. Look forward to more chats in 2022. Xx🦔❤🦔🤞🦔❤🦔🤞❤🦔❤🤞❤🦔❤
Misty, I keep thinking about you. How are you doing? Have you got any help from the endo doctor? How is your foot? I so hope you are close to getting some help.Lots of healing hugs.
Thank you so much pumpkin for your lovely supportive thoughts. You are so very kind. How is your foot?. Are you out of that shoe yet?. I do hope so.
Ive just seen the Endo consultant who wants me to be on 3.5mg steroids before she'll do the 2nd adrenal test!!. That was disappointing as its going to be tough to do. She will see me in 4 -6 months and there is a nurse helpline if i have probs. I can reduce by 0.5mg every 3 months to be kinder to my body.
I got an xtra months relief from steroid injection and will see pain consultsnt in 2 weeks about my foot. Its painful now!.
Im sorry 'cutie pics ' has been so delayed as ive felt so poorly. I will post one soon so watch this space.
Misty, I am so sorry to hear that you are still struggling with the adrenal. I can't understand having to wait for another 4 -6 months to test again. It is so concerning. Also, that your foot is more painful again. It is so hard to cope with the way thins are handled with doctors. My foot is now wrapped. Because of the cellulitis in the hammertoe, I can't have anything touching it. So I couldn't wear the boot or anything else. The break hasn't healed yet. I am hoping that when I go back on Feb. 7, it will be healed. I am thinking it isn't as swelled maybe. Then the question will be the hammertoe. The strange thing is , my other foot has been waking me up with sharp burning pain and at times what seems like neuropathy. It looks all right, so I am assuming it is arthritis. For so long, my feet were the only part of my body that didn't bother me.
Please do not worry about the "cutie pics". I just have been concerned for you. Adrenaline problems are more important. I hope you do't have any issues with the steroids. I take 7.5 everyday and have for some time. I haven't had any problems, but know that the rheumatologist would rather that was lower. I just don't want to rock the boat at the moment.
Just know that I will keep hoping for the best for you. It is hard enough to feel bad, but harder when you are in a waiting game needing answers. Take the best care of yourself that you can.
Thank you pumpkin for your lovely understanding message. I did say to Endo consultant I couldn't manage and she said talk to Rheumy. I was so disappointed she wouldn't test me till steroids were down to 3mg. She's now conceded to 3.5 mg but I still don't think I can manage it. I will have to try and then tell the nurse if it's really hard. I was fine till I got to 4.5 mg and then having cortisol test threw up this problem. You might find the same pumpkin!. Have you taken steroids for a long time?.
I'm so very sorry your having such awful feet problems suddenly. I will keep 👌🏻for the 7 th and your foot being healed. Hope the cellulitis improves to. You must be so fed up. My pain appt for my foot was delayed by a month. It sometimes feels like a conspiracy to keep us suffering.
Keep me posted how you get on.
Sending healing thoughtwaves to you too. Keep safe and well. Xx
