Does anyone know how to change your profile picture!? I've gone into profile but can't see how to update the photo ?

Have you followed these instructions A? Help Centre 'How do I upload a profile and background image' support.healthunlocked.com/...

If you have & it's not worked I'm at a loss sorry.

[allanah in reply to nomoreheels]

Yes I went into that page and now noted it says not available to change on smart phone I just noticed!!! So will go on computer later ! Cheers x

[nomoreheels in reply to allanah]

That didn't occur to me! I've always edited mine on my tablet (or iPad now) only because I find it easier being that bit bigger than my iPhone!

I didn't think you upload a photo on the iPad, my middle grandson said, I am not so tech minded Lol ! Will have another try.

[allanah in reply to Gigi71]

I love this photo. You look young, healthy and free!!!...Free you ask? Yes, free to do anything. :)...sounds weird, but that's how I see you. lol

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

That's so nice ! I am old now 57! I make myself free, does that sound weird ? Even when I'm in pain I will still do what was planned, it's rare I give into it. To me if you want to do something. Take painkillers , ask for help if you can, use scooters , anything to distract me from the situation . Music and outdoors make me forget or push my woes to the back of my mind.

Works for me , no idea why , and yes I pay for it lol but it's worth it !

That picture is as a caravan holiday in France which we love as when I'm tired it's easy to rest , we can drive around seeing places which is easier too , and the food and wine 🍷 s great lol!!

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

You go girl!!! This is the life that we are delt. I refuse to think my life is over, so I love to play too.

France? How exciting. The wine, the architecture what can I say? Wow, one day my hubby and I will travel to Europe. We plan to go within the next 2 years.

Live, Laugh and Love is our motto!

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

Great motto ! I agree !

I need some of your hutzpah A! I think I'm similar and do plenty of crazy things then a few days or more of paying the price. But would or have you flown to Australia or NZ I wonder?this is where my gung-ho blitz spirit is failing me just now. Oldest son has to decide whether to stay on for 3 years and keeps requiring me to commit to a visit. The thought of the 24 hour flight makes me feel totally wimpish!

Even flights to and from NYC a few years ago seemed terrible to endure. My painful neuropathy went mad with the stockings, but my legs threatened to combust without them - hands similar - not to mention the sicca of Sjogrens and the GI issues making the whole thing a nightmare. And no way can we afford to travel business class unfortunately.

So how would you deal with this as my ultimate Sjogrens/ RA role model - please advise?! X

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

She would get extra leg room , take lots too biotene gel with a label on as your prescription name on it . Buy lots of water , the airline staff have given me free water when I explain my illness.

Also get up and walk every fifteen minutes and do leg and ankle turns .

Take a blow up pillow so you can sleep and a small blanket ! ( although they often supply these)

Take your neuro pain killers regularly thro the flight .

Distract yourself with a movie ! Passes the time and takes your mind off it.

I would discuss with your doctor whether you need the stockings and if they are aggravating you . Sometimes they can start great alternatives .

And just think of the amazing time you will have when you see him!!!

Yes plan rest and pain killer dats but it will be worth it I think, what an adventure !!!

Also get assist from the airline , saves carrying bags, walking long distances when stuff and you get through security and customs as a priority and they are very understandingthat you will have high powered drugs with you . Just gave a doctors prescription sheet with you for them all and try to keep them in the packets, defo have them in your hand luggage in case your luggage goes astray!

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

Ugh I guess all this is possible A - I'll try and see it as a great adventure but I can't really promise to! Thanks for giving me some practical tips and trying to get me enthused at least! X

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

You go great to ! Don't let it beat you !!
