Hello everyoneJust thought i'd pop in to show you these cute record -breaking lambs that were born on a farm in the Westcountry not far from where i live.
They're quintuplet lambs born to the same mother which is a one in a million chance. They're being bottle fed and doing well.
This time of the year is lovely seeing Spring signs in our gardens and new
arrivals isn't it?
Hope your all doing as well as you can and will enjoy this Special Bank Holiday.

P.s. Progress at last!. I've got a date for seeing the gastro surgeon on 19/6 and hopefully better treatment while i wait. 40mg twice a day of Esomeprazole and cimetidine if needed. Has anyone taken these?.
I've also got a date for my adrenal test on 18/5. Not long at all.
Thank you all for your unwavering support. I do so appreciate it. Will update with results. Xx

Wonderful news about your treatment, appointment and upcoming test. I am so delighted that after suffering so long you will soon get the help you need xxx
Thank you so much cecily for your lovely mesdage and good wishes. I really do appreciate your support. I wish i could turn the appt's round and the 18th /5 was for the gastric surgeon. I'm in so much pain that june seems so far away!!. I did think of you actually cos i had a letter from the surgeon saying my latest MRCP test was normal , no gallstones and he'd see me in Aug/Sept!!. Well i wrote to him saying how i was struggling and he agreed to bring it forward!!. It was my last chance!!. I know you went thru this and its like being stuck in a perpetual nightmare isnt it?. . I hope you are feeling a lot better since we last chatted and you hear from Urology soon. Xx๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ป
Honestly it beggars belief. I am glad he agreed to bring your appointment forward at least. You might not believe this but after waiting since 20 th February to hear from Uro- Gynae I rang and found out the GP had not even done the referral ๐คฏ. I challenged her and she lied and said she hadnโt agreed to refer me at all. Neil was with me he heard her say I needed to be seen asap!! She got very defensive and said I will write a few lines ok and then she put the phone down on me. I will check next week to see if she has done the referral or I will have to make a formal complaint. It is just too much on top of everything else isnโt it? Thank you too for your kindness xxx
Oh cecily, thats apalling although part of that my dad has just been thru.!!. He's got 2 big areas of possible skin cancer so he was being referred to Dermatology. Nothing happened and Dad chased it to find out the gp hadn't sent it to them. She took full responsibility and even rang Dermy to say it was her fault. Your gp sadly is a whole other story as she shouldnt have lied etc. ๐คshe has done the referral cecily and you don't have to go thru the stress of a formal complaint. Its not right, costing you valuable waiting time. Will keep my ๐คfor you. Xx๐๐๐
Thank you so much. I am so pleased your Dadโs GP was so honest and acted swiftly for him. We are all human, Doctors are under such pressure it is no wonder mistakes are made but to say I got it wrong and that she never agreed to refer me is just disgusting. . I hope to goodness she has now done it so that I can get the urgent advice and treatment I need. Xxx
Thank goodness cecily you take Neil with you as a witness as it really is disgusting that, that gp lied and didnt refer you. I just hope she has now!. Have you had the courage to find out today?. Keeping ๐คfor you. Xx๐๐๐๐ค
No I am struggling to sleep at the moment and Neil has hurt his knee so I am putting it off. Silly I know but I am likely to be tearful and I just want to be prepared to have to make a complaint. Hopefully I will find out soon. Thank you for caring lovely. I will let you know xxx
Love the picture misty, i love seeing the new lambs running and leaping round the fields. My husbandโs uncle was a hill farmer and he used to help him in the summer, they had great times !!
So glad things are progressing with your appointments . I donโt take either of these medications, i hope they make a difference and that you have less pain .
I hope you have a lovely bank holiday, our weather forecast has improved, thank goodness so hopefully will get out for a walk again. Im meeting a friend for coffee in the afternoon for a chat, looking forward to that , too much male company in our house ๐คฃ๐คฃ.
Thank you weathervane for your lovely mesdage. I thought you'd like all the ewe's, what a clever mummy!!. I hope you enjoyed the coronation. It was wet here to start with and then as the service progressed the sun came out which i thought was very symbolic.
I've bought some esomeprazole and its making a good differencd to my indigestion symptoms. Not so my biliary pain, its really bad suddenly as i had the covid jab a few days ago. June 19th still feels a long way off with this pain!!!.
Hope you get your appt's soon. We're always waiting for something aren't we?.
Enjoy seeing your friend for a catch up and a laugh. So important!!. My nurse friend wanted to take me out for coffee but we chatted on phone instead yesterday which was lovely.
Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday. Xx๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐
Thought id let you know, went out on big birthday nightout , i just went to the meal. Had a great evening, lots of fun and laughs, so glad i went ๐ฅณ. Very tired today even though i was home by nine .
How have you been keeping, itโs getting closer to your appointment ๐. I have rituximab this week, be glad to get it over with.
Misty Iโm so elated for you about your appointments soon to come. Best wishes on their outcome sweetie. ๐ค
Cutie patooties X 5. Iโm so thrilled to know the mama survived having that many babies inside her and successfully birthing all of them. ๐๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐๐X5
Thank you so much dear honeybug for your wonderful mesdage and good wishes. She was a clever Momma wasn't she carrying 5 babies?. Do hope your making good recovery progress and i will keep posting my pics with updates. TAKE CARE. Xx๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ
Thanx tjo, glad you liked it and thank you for your lovely wishes. I will update you all when i go. Do hope your health is behaving and you have a nice weekend. Xx๐๐๐
what a wonderful post! Wonderful picture and wonderful news about your appointment. I am to be seeing the respiratory consultant the day after you see the gastro surgeon. Have to attend the respiratory clinic for breathing tests on 15th this month. It has been such a long wait hasnโt it? I hope that everything goes well for you when you attend the appointments. Xx ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Oh ge , thank you for your lovely mesdage. So glad you liked the pics. I've been thinking of you as have missed your replies.I can't believe you still have been waiting for a respiratory appt, such a long time you've been waiting.!!. I hope we bring each other luck next month. Good luck for your tests soon too, just hope they lead to some treatment for you. ๐ค
I would have had to wait till Aug/Sept so i wrote to the consultant and told him how much i was suffering and he agreed to bring the date forward!!.
Keeping ๐คfor you. Take Care. Xx๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐
Thanks striated for your good wishes. I'm in such a lot of biliary pain after having my covid jab that i'm spending it on the sofa or my bed as its the only comfy place for me and my heat pad. June 19th can't come soon enough sadly!. I do hope your making progress with your health and you and your mum enjoyed the Coronation. Xx๐๐๐
Hi Misty, do you think the biliary pain is caused directly by something in the covid jab, or do you think it is part of a flair caused by the covid jab that has made things worse?
I had bad reaction to Gadolinium, used in an MRI, for the last few months. The first few weeks were odd symptoms never had before, then also a flair of existing problems and then issue with arm of hand that was injected - came from nowhere.
I sent carefully bulleted feedback to PALS, after completing a yellow card submission. PALS though have forwarded to 'Complaints' without me asking. Guess they saw it as too complicated. (Lots of forwarding on going on nowadays).
Now heard the 'MRI superintendent' is going to phone me to discuss 'my concerns'.
Not what I intended to happen as it was feedback, not a compliant..and feeling a bit, well very scared.
Short course prednisolone helped a lot and now increasing HCQ. Find it hard understanding what is happening sometimes. Things were going relatively ok just before, apart from headaches.
My Mum and me had some special cakes and chocolates yesterday. What have you been up to this Coronation weekend? Take care. Lots of prayers ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ต๏ธ๐บ๐ป๐ผ๐ท๐๐
So sorry Striated you had a reaction to Gadolinium used in a recent MRI scan!!. Worrying thing to happen but its good the hospital wants to talk to you about it and maybe learn from it. I hope the scan was worth it and it found what was causing your problems. ๐คfor you.My biliary pain has been made worse by the covid jab as i've been suffering from it for 15 months now!!. Its definitely got to be an auto-immune condition causing it as otherwise the jab wouldnt affect it!!. June 19th seems such a long way off still for my appt. The surgeon is only doing one clinic in May!!. Its shocking and no wonder there are so many delays.
Glad you and your mum enjoyed the coronation wiith some lovely cakes. We didnt do much but enjoyed what we saw on TV. History being made!!.
Good luck with your appt and i hope its settling better now. Take care. Xx๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐
sorry to read about your biliary pain, itโs one or worst pains in my humble opinion. Heat pads, hot water bottle, hot bath, and lower back massage are a distraction, or a massage pad for your back, Ive also read that TNS can help relax you a bit x
Afternoon Misty. I have been taking esomeprazole for quite a few years now. I was initially taking lansoprazole twice daily for a few years. I have also taken cimetidine. It was then decided that the slow release esomeprazole was a better option once daily. I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and discovered that proton pump inhibitors which includes lansoprazole and esomeprazole probably won't have helped with the condition of my bones. I cannot start on the meds for the osteoporosis as I am waiting for the removal of my wisdom teeth as they lie horizontal and are now causing issues!! If I start the meds it could cause narcosis which can cause the jaw to die and disintegrate!!! My husband is on the lookout for a glue factory!!!!๐ฅด๐ฅด๐ฑ๐ฑ. It's a good job that we can laugh about these things. You take one med that causes something else, then you get another and another and on you go !!
Thank you littleed for your very helpful reply. I didnt know that esomeprazole was slow release!. I've just started taking it and already its better for my symptoms than omeprazole and no wonder!. I too have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and been worrying about my bones so i do feel for you having to go thru wisdom teeth removal before you can have your treatment. It never rains but pours with us and as you say one drug leads to another and quickly we're on several!!. Will you be taking the once a week pill bone treatment or the infusion of Zolendronate?. Its such a worry for us too juggling risks versus benefits so i really hope it all works out for you. Hope you don't have to wait long to have your wisdom teeth out. Best wishesXx๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ค
What a beautiful story and picture! So very glad to hear your news that things are moving in the right direction and any relief from pain gives hope. I can hear the hope in your words.
Thanx so much dear pumpkin for your lovely message. I'm relieved to have dates to hang onto. The end is in sight, its been such a long time. I hope you are better too and i send you lots of healing hugs as well. Xx๐๐๐
Arenโt they adorable, how amazing to have so many from one mum?! We saw baby lambs and Pygmy baby goats in a barn yesterday all with their mums, they were super cute too! ๐๐ฅฐ
Fingers crossed youโll get good relief with the esomeprazole and cimetidine ๐ค
Big hugs and thanks for sharing lovely ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฉท๐ฉท๐ฉทxxxx
Thanx so much dianne for your lovely messages. I'm so pleased you made it out to the bluebell wood and saw those wonderful babies!. I just love baby pygmy goats, they're my favourite i think for their characters. That must have felt wonderful to sit and just soak in all the lovely nature. Do you the world of good lovely.
You inspired me to walk down the garden as its brightened up here๐and we've got lovely bluebells on a bank at the bottom of our garden. They are beautiful.
I'm glad you have had benefit from Esomeprazole and Cimetidine. My parents bought me some Esomeprazole so i've been trying it and its definitely better than omeprazole for indigestion. Do need the cimetidine too. Will be talking to gp on weds so will chase them up.
HUGE LUCK on tuesday at your MSK appt. Do hope its helpful and i'll be thinking of you. Big hugs Xx๐๐๐๐ค
I havenโt tried esomeprazole but I might ask the dr if I can especially if they canโt get my brand of omeprazole, I do add in the cemetadine and it really does help when my heartburn/indigestion is really bad. Good luck with your GP chat on Wednesday. ๐ค
How lovely to have bluebells at the bottom of your garden, theyโre so pretty especially when theyโre en masse and yes it really did me good, it was perfect, I canโt believe Iโve never been there before, itโs a shame they close the woods 10th May until next spring๐
Take care lovely, will let you know how MSK goes ๐๐๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐xxx
oh my goodness Misty, this is too cute for words - we have fields of new lambs by us and love seeing them - spring has sprung - so glad youโve got appointments in the pipeline - sending big hugs ๐ค๐ค๐
Thanx so much svfarmer, so pleased you loved the pic. I love Spring, the wonderful hope of new life!. Hope your all enjoying this special Bank Holiday and the sun has come out. It has here. ๐lots of ๐. Xx๐๐๐๐ค๐๐
Hi Misty, what a lovely photo of those Adorable baby ๐๐๐๐ lamb's. New life's in the spring ๐ผ always put smiles on the face... Thank you so much for sharing this special moment...Mary had a little lamb, brings child like memories to me and hopefully many here. I am thrilled to read you are making progress ๐, getting good care and moving in more positive direction. I pray for you, and that your path stays positive, always. Lots of love and blessings, The Stormy Sunshine ๐ป๐๐
Thank you so much the Storm for your wonderful mesdage. I am so pleased and thrilled how much you loved the pic. I had forgotten about Mary had a little lamb, the lovely nursery rhyme. Thats made me ๐now, thank you. I hope you are feeling a lot better yourself, its lovely seeing you back on forum as you had to wait a long time for treatment too didnt you?.
Somehow i must get thru till the 19/6 to see the biliary expert. I'm in dreadful pain that it still feels too long to wait!!. I certainly am getting really good hospital care so i must be very grateful which i am.
Well Iโve heard of a black sheep in the family but this family has four! ๐คฃ And how very cute they are! ๐ Thanks for sharing the lovely story and picture with us Misty. So pleased to hear of your upcoming appts and pray they are very helpful to you.๐๐ป I see the Rheumy on Thursday and hope he recognises my Lupus rash this time!๐ It has returned to my hairline, ears and a sprinkling on my chest and back. Iโm praying I donโt have to go back on steroids as my innards are only just recovering from the last long course. ๐ฉThe Esomeprozole has worked a treat and hope it does the same for you Misty.๐ค Take care and keep me posted with how you get on. Xxx
great cuties, sorry I missed the last few but I was updating my profile with a new condition and somehow deleted myself ๐ so I had to make a new profile and only realised today I wasnโt in Lupus. Anyway Iโm back and enjoying your pictures thanks.
Thank you stills for your lovely recommendations for this awful biliary pain. I wouldnt have managed as i have without my heat pad. They're wonderful aren't they?. I agree too its the worst pain i've ever had and i've had a few.You were having simikar problems and i see in your other post you've added a new diagnosis to your profile!!. Have you got good help and treatment for it as its such a miserable pain ?. I do hope so. I'm counting the hours until my appt in 3 weeks. Just can't wait!!.
Lovely seeing you back Stills. 'Cutie pic' is on hold at the mo with technical problems . I can't post pics suddenly. Its annoying when it doesnt work!!. It will be back as soon as i can!. Glad you sorted out your problems too. Hope your enjoying this lovely ๐ and take care. Xx๐๐๐ค๐๐๐
thanks Misty14, we are due to go on holiday tomorrow ( delayed since Covid in 20/21 then by my leg injury) so Iโm hoping everything behaves whilst weโre away, Iโm taking plenty meds and joint splints just in case.
