Hi everyone..been searching for a site for fellow brain fogged shuffling old farts that look and feel like they have just been dug up.. Looks like I may have found it. Been very reassuring reading about other people's experiences and struggles...Dont feel quite so alone. Thanks guys 😘

[Boxerlady]

Well I could say speak for yourself! 😂Welcome 😉

[Ravey in reply to Boxerlady]

Yo boxerlady..just checked out your profile info thingy and I see its taken quite alot of juggling with the "poisons"to reach some kind of releif / conclusion. So happy for you..the relief and release from the affliction must feel like heaven. Long may it continue for you 🤞🤞🤞just gives me so much hope. I don't know why but once I got the diagnosis I kind of thought a few pills and I would be skipping about...twat!! 🤣🤣

I'm older than you lol but I still feel young. Welcome to the site. If you haven't found nras.org.uk yet there's lots of info there and the search button at the top of this page is very useful too.

🤣😂 this made me laugh 🤣 definitely feel like I've just been dug up 🤣 My 5 year old granddaughter said yesterday, "bampy who's older you or nanny " when he said he was she said "why does nanny look older?" I was gutted but out of the mouths of babies........ 😂

[Knip in reply to Garnacha]

Yes, Grandchildren tell it as they see it! I bet you all laughed...hence more wrinkle lines! xx

[Leics]

Welcome Ravey your description describes me to a T at the moment made me laugh. You’re most welcome here especially with a sense of humour.

[Ravey in reply to Leics]

Yo...thankyou so much..infact thanks to everybody for making me feel so welcome..I've been having a bit of a nosey around the site and checking people out...comparing ailments and meds..can't believe it all still..it was not on the agenda...I thought going half blind was a shocker..you know the cling film feeling over your eyeballs..squinting and struggling to see the one long hair on your chin that every one else can see from miles away..just getting used to the varifocals and boom cop a load of these apples 🤣🤣...nevermind..we will get there....eventually. If we can get dressed and down the stairs on our bums .

[Boxerlady]

Maybe you'd like to share your ailments and meds on your bio too? 😉

[Gottaloveastaffy]

Lol that made me laugh 😂 described me very well hahha you will be ok once your meds fit x it’s a long road it seems and still not sure mine are sorted but always good on here happy sad crying laughing xx everyone chips in and makes you feel better when those daunting times come along xx

[Ravey in reply to Gottaloveastaffy]

Thankyou 😘..it is certainly an education on here..I kind of feel better reading others journeys already. I was feeling worried that I was being a hypochondriac or drama queen..people seem to think I should be alright now I have a diagnosis and a box of medications..to be honest I thought it myself. It has lifted a cloud already for which I am so grateful..I joined this to gather strength hope and education and already I have a much better understanding. I also don't feel such a drama queen or fraud. This affliction is very real ..its draining and frustrating its painful and challenging..there is a light though just have to believe it and battle on..I am amongst others on this journey..its quite a lonely journey when you think you are on your own with it..you only really get it..if you've got .. I'm So glad I have joined x

[Binty1]

Thank you Ravey. Waiting on ct scan results from Wednesday but you know, do i want them to say they found something or do i want them to say all looks normal? Got more symptoms since last saw rheumy in february, lower back pain on one side and swollen ankle (same side).

Thank you for virtual super strengh! Will use it wisely 💪🏻

Take Care x
