Hi @Shaz51

I have been feeling off-colour all weekend with sinus-pressure - bad headache - but I am feeling better today - thanks for asking - it always helps

Your Hubby has enough happening I guess - but his first Christmas without his Dad will be tough

It makes me wonder - thank God for the reason for the season but for those of us with family members falling off the Family Tree makes us wonder about a Christmas Tree - sometimes I get mine out and sometimes I don't - I still don't feel Chrismassy myself - yet - maybe I will but not right now

And how are you today - I know you are probably looking forward to semi-retirement but not your Hubby

Wow - thinking of you

Gosh! Upsetting for you @TAB 😯
Sounds like an awful situation to go through. Sounded like a very difficult job anyway.

Good thing is, you have more work coming up, with a few days break inbetween.

Rest up and enjoy your few days off. 😺☕🍰


Thinking of you @Kurra ❤
Keep in touch about how you're going, re: your back. Did weeding your garden bring on this terrible pain?
Hugs to you. xo


How's @Former-Member? 😙💕

Hi @Decadian 💕

I hope your sinuses clear up soon. Can be so painful and exhausting having allergies. 😮😨😣

I had allergies really bad when I lived in Melbourne. I hardly ever do where I live now.

Hi @Former-Member

I do feel better today but tired - it's very wearing battling any kind of health issue - no matter what kind

Melbourne has to be the capital city of the world for allergies - but I have lived here all my ife and my family is here - I don't feel inclined to move much

But sometimes I think about moving to Launceston - I have been there a few times and I could fly to Melbourne to see my pain specialist and dentist - as well as my family - but then - there are other things to be considered

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh - Launceston is a pretty place and I like it there so much but Melbourne is my home - allergies and all

But thanks

Hello @Decadian 

I have missed you my friend xx

hope you are feeling a bit better today

here is another little piece of my life xoxo

I have been wondering to put one of my stories here or if the Mods want to move it somewhere else -- that is ok too , I have thought for a while to share my story -- so here goes my friends xx

when I was 27 , I started to have mindgrains everyday , anything would set it off, a light from a passing car , anything , if i took some painkillers early i would be ok except for a heavy headache , but if i didn`t take painkillers l early i would have to go through the whole cycle , being so sick that i had to go to hospital to have a needle , this went on for ages , the doctor didn`t know what it was .

one night at a 11pm , I could not breah, it was soo scary , the ambulance came and took me to hospital , the doctor gave me some paracetamol and sent me home

well a week later at 1am , i screamed out , mum rang the ambulance , by the time the ambulance came , I was having near death experience which i was going to a bright light , mum thought i was dead , I was going far away looking down at mum and the ambulance man until he brought me back with oxygen

I ended up in hospital for a week , had hundreds of tests done and they found out i developed Epilepsy, There was a black spot in my brain , which they gave me medication which gave me Depression and weight gain

for the next 3 years I suffered from depression, hurting  myself , hating myself , I had my own childcare business and mum helped me sooo much , but the weekends were my worst and Mum felt so helpless to help me , I would cry all weekend , hurting  myself and so on

I followed the doctors orders and after 3 years he did a scan and the big black spot on my brain was gone , he could not believed it , he called it amazing and asked if he could take my case to melbourne

well coming off the tablets was another scary story as i would wake up in the middle of the night screamim]ng because i forgot my tablets

so sometimes people will say you dont know what it is like to have depression -- Guess what I DO KNOW SO !!!!

[Decadian]

Eek @Shaz51

That is a horrible - extended - experience

Yes - you know what depression is - and so do I - having had reactive depression which is a bit different but still - aw - it is so hard to see the good side - yes - if at that stage of our lives there is a good side

Somewhere I got the idea that - "Okay - I will put up with grieving for my son. I will accept it as a normal way of life - I will not let anyone take it away from me - I have the right to feel so bad"

Something changed - it's so long ago now I forget - but he came to me in a dream and told me he was leaving and would not be back - and in the sense of that soul-destroying grief which I guess was pretty much like reactive depression - he did leave. Of course I remember him everyday but my life is no longer running into a bad place with migraine whenever I got overwhelmed and lost my way

I am glad you have told this story - perhaps they can starft a new thread with this - say

I really do know what it is like to have depression

If I could have a magic cure it would be that people would stop feeling that they are being childish etc in having depression -

Also - after a trip to hospital in an ambulance they gave you a minor pain pill - d'uh - I do believe that though - I have had it happen myself

Thinking of you

No @Former-Member. My back hurts but it's my stomach. They think it might be a ruptured ulcer. Told I might be here for a while
