Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Well my bloods came back normal and I can't speak to the Dr until the 11th, to say my head is battered would be an understatement. I just don't know what to do anymore, I'm sick of being in constant pain and more than sick of having a constant headache. Where do i go from here is the question because I am not coping very well at the moment.

Wow Anj, how lucky was your brother's partner there, inches away from far more serious consequences that don't bear thinking about, I hope she is okay mentally as well as physically, it's maybe something to watch out for Anj.
I had a lucky near escape a few years ago, I consider myself tough mentally but it took me maybe a 12-18 months to be able to drive again without it being in the back of my mind and there you go not really shared that before, guess that's the magic of this thread.

So sorry T. I know you've probably been asked this before but have you ever tried alternative therapy, like acupuncture, chiropractor, reiki. My great niece, who has secondary cancer, was given approx 3 months in January, and her situation has been improving since she saw a homeopath. Her treatment is based around diet.

I'm just clutching at straws really. I feel so helpless .

Yeah, my old doc used to give me acupuncture, problem is finance Fred it's expensive to go to a therapist like £40-£50 a pop and I am not in a position to afford it.
 
Happy Tuesday lovely friends. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes and for the laughs. You all are such a great bunch and know how to make a gal feel special. I’m turning 46 today and feeling super grateful to reach this age. Busy day at work this afternoon because of the Open House, but at least this morning I don’t have much on the calendar. Going to dinner this evening with the family, mum, and her husband. But on Saturday my nephew is having a party to celebrate our birthdays ? ? ?

Can you not get the costs covered by NHS given there's no traditional relief for you. Discuss it with your doctor when you next speak and if the answer is no then take it up with your MP. I don't see why you should have to suffer in silence mate.

More tests required. They are not looking for the right things. Blood tests cannot detect pain. I represented somebody in work who had severe chronic pain. Nothing ever showed up, her sick record was awful and because there was no diagnosis Occupational Health was less than helpful. My member felt like they were going bonkers. They were eventually referred to a specialist pain clinic which helped to manage the pain to a level that was liveable with.

Also most blood tests have a range of what is normal. So saying everything is OK or they have found nothing could be a bit vague. It may not be normal for you. Rheumatoid arthritis is notorious for giving "normal" blood results - 20% of cases. ( Learned that from the person above)

Keep at them. Ask to speak to the same doctor who you liked and for a copy of your results. Most of all don't give up on yourself. Sending positivity and soft hugs x
