How are you feeling today?

[Buttercup]

It's raining here, children are irritable arghhhhhhhhh

[Rycing]

Feel for you Rycing, my children are all early risers, they just don't respect the weekend lie in 

Yeah, apart from school days when I have to wake them up. 

[Zaf]

Well done Icelolly :)

[CharleysAngel']

Thanks Zaf x

Really tired, always seem to wake up really early. Haven't been sleeping properly either and on the rare occaision that I do I don't feel refreshed after. Want to go to the doctors about it this week but don't think my mum will agree to it.

[Zaf]

It must be very difficult feeling you want to see your doctor and your mum being against it

[Glen53]

Its a difficult one Icelolly, but I cant help but think you have your own right to speak to someone if you are worried.

[Ezel]

IceLolly, sleep is a problem for me although it is getting better.  I am fortunate though if I'm tired during the day I can go to sleep.

Today I am having a good day in spite of the horrible weather.  Been to church this morning and the children were great fun as always.

Thanks everyone x it is hard, and just because my doctor told me that I don't have depression my mum thinks that there is nothing wrong with me. I know that there is something wrong with me, I am so exhausted all the time and everything hurts, she just doesn't see it. And someone cancelled my appointment with CAMHS, I guess it was my mum as my doctor had said to keep it unless I was seeing a counsellor which I'm not.

I agree Icelolly if you are concerned you should mention it to your dr.  Only you know how you feel.

I am ok today, but hubby is quite poorly, woke this morning feeling bad with hot sweats and feeling like he was going to pass out.  We were due to go out this evening to my eldest sons engagement dinner.  So rang David to tell him I would be coming but that hubby couldn't.  He told me that my future d.i.l's mum also has the same thing, so it was decided that we would cancel the dinner as he wanted both to be there. So its being set for a later date.  He also told me that apparantly quite a few guys from his work have been off sick with the same thing.  Not wanting to sound awful but was quite glad to hear that its something going round, explains the symptoms he is having.

So just chilling out today, did tidy up a bit and did my ironing.  Other than that just making drinks etc for my poorly husband.

 &*( for anyone that needs them.

If my doctor is in tomorrow mums booking me an appointment. That was almost too easy, she did moan at me though saying that I will probably tell her that she is a bad parent and all that.

Shaz, I hope your husband feels better soon x

[Buttercup]

That's good Icelolly, here's hoping your doctor is in  :)

[Zaf]

Try to tell her all your physical symptoms IceLolly

Hope hubby isnt too poorly shaz and he recovers quickly

It has been lovely weather all weekend although I have had a chronic headache all weekend and my body just seems to ache all over, my hands especially hurt.
I haven't been able to cope with the sunlight all weekend or sound at all so I have spent most of the weekend in bed or on the couch which is very frustrating. I am seriously considering asking my GP to run some tests and figuring out what the hell is going on because I feel like my body is slowly shutting down but I don't know how to go about doing this or what to say to him to get him to understand.
How do people approach this kind of thing with their GP's when they are unsure of what it is they actually want?

[Zaf]

Sorry to hear you feel so bad smirfy,  I think I would take a list of all your symptoms and say things are getting intolerable and are there any tests to find out whats going on

My sister suffers with ME and depression.  The first dr she had didn't believe in ME, that was several years ago, her dr now is understanding.  Think all you can do is tell your dr all of your symptoms.

 &*(  for you smirfy.
