General Chat

Good morning to every one who knows me, and to all the new members that dont. I have not posted for a couple of months now, but I am missing the good company of many of my friends.

Firstly, I must say how shocked and sorry I am to read that Daff, Deanna and Jean are poorly. I dont Pray, but send my positive thoughts to you all and may you all get well soon and back posting on the boards. xxx

I shall be posting another thread to mention Gaynor Bear shortly, due to MSN changing. Ok, I realise many members that worked so hard during the relay are no longer members, and new members have never heard of GB. So do not expect too many replies.

I have not been too well myself over the last few months. My 'pain in the bum' has got worse and because I put off going to my GP has made things worse. Rheumatoid Arthritus test, has shown no RA factor at 'present' Just put back onto Anti Inflammatory pills yet again, and Codiene Phosphate. But after so much pain I had to go back to the Dr's last week as my hip was not getting any easier and I got a terrible painful swelling.

I have just been diagnosed with Septic Bursitis of the Trochanter bone and need Steroid injections, but I cannot have them due to the tissue being very badly infected. I am now on very strong anti -biotics and if they dont work shall have to go into hospital for a few days for IV anti-biotics. Then the injections into my hip bone which I am not looking forward to in the least. If this does not work, then MRA scan etc to see what is causing the inflammed Bursa.

I am in a lot of pain, and dont mind admitting I cry many a time with it. I dont really need HUGS btw. Just someone to chat to. If anyone else has had this painful condition it would be great to talk.

No worries Stray

Hey Jenny :-) it's good to see you around here again.

Sorry to see you're in so much pain but congrats are in order for having the one thing on here that I've never heard of LOL that makes you special ;-), seriously though, I hope they can sort out the pain for you because it's really no fun at all. Be careful with the anti-inflammatories, don't want to ruin your stomach lining too (like mine now is).

Well, I restarted my uni course and have just spent the last week going off my trolly trying to learn about paint analysis. Now, I'm fairly sure I would have noticed if they'd said there would be physics in this course because...ew...evil! I got through it...just...but you don't want to be around me in January when I'm fighting with the big assignment on it.

(((hugs))) just coz.

Just had a quick read up on it and omg...ouchies x 20! Has it been suggested to you to get one of them electric heat pads for it? That might help some.

And a trick I learned a few years ago before my Fibromyalgia diagnosis was, in the shower, direct a spray of v.warm water (enough that it pinks the skin but not too hot that it's not bearable), for a couple of minutes, then turn the temp right down to just above cold for a couple of minutes (you can usually tell when the time is right to change the temp) and alternate like that for a few cycles...I'm not entirely sure how or why it works, but I suspect it's to do with application of heat to relax the muscles and cold to reduce inflammation (because ice can cause the stiffening of the surrounding muscles it can make the joint more painful on it's own).

Hello Jenny,

Its lovely to see you but Im sorry that you are in pain,

Hi to everyone and Liz, well dont you for going back to studying!! I too hated physics!

Welcome back Jenny Val In Exeter here sorry you aint been well but so glad to see your thread after you being away so long

~~~~~~~Cazzles.

It's not just that I hate physics it's simply that I'd never done it until the very vague intro that we had during my degree and don't get it at all... and I hate feeling thick. Apart from that and impending assignment doom, I'm quite enjoying it. It's ruined CSI etc for me though (with it being forensic science) because I just sit and yell at the tv that they're making evidence inadmissible LOL

Hi Jenny good to see you back.

Jenny,
You will not believe this but I was going to try and 'find' you to send a message today, how strange. I sat here last night and suddenly thought I had not seen you around for ages. But it was late, then this morning I had to go into town and when I switch back on there you are.

Sorry you are in so much pain and if you want a chat you can always message me.

Love
Ann
