Just what I was thinking & about to say, well said!!! Stay here Cumberland where you belong & are appreciatedJust stay. I love you been here - where you belong! Anyone who objects will have to convince me the reason why.
Awww, thanks Ron - what a lovely thing to say! You are an inspiration to all of us, remaining so positive despite all your massive challenges this year, so that means a lot to me. Hugs xYou are a legend @debrasue certainly been a big help to me
Oh my goodness, you couldn't make this stuff up, could you?!!! I'm so sorry you're having all this hassle Barbara and I hope they can get it sorted for you as soon as possible. Congratulations on your new job, though - well done, you! Big hugs xArgh! No such luck, after making a complete mess of my kitchen they now think it's the storm drain that's blocked up. That means they have to call in an outside contractor who can actually open the drain cover in my front yard. The reason why the water is so dirty is because it's coming from the gutter at the top of the block, if it is blocked up like they think all the dirt and yucky stuff is coming into my kitchen because it has nowhere else to go. The worse thing is, my cooker has been standing in this water for so long it's showing signs of electrical problems, the cooker light started flickering while I was cooking tea so now that's had to be switched off until the water is sorted out
I'm so sorry to hear this Vicky, arthritis is horrible. You get good days and bad days with it, but it never really goes away. Having said that, though, I do get a few days each year when, for no apparent reason, I get no pain whatsoever, anywhere. I really live for those days and enjoy them to the max! So it's not all bad news and hopefully your painkillers will be able to give you some ongoing relief. Sending you big hugs xxSaw GP yesterday for the pain in my pelvis and was told definitely not scatica. I have Sacroiliitis. Inflammation of the sacroiliac joint in the pelvis. A form of arthritis? ??
I've joined my family in suffering arthritic pain. I'm on the same tablets as my mum but she is 67yr old. I'm not happy as I was hoping I'd skip it since I'm the only one with diabetes.
Call your housing officer and tell him/her you need some support. That this is unacceptable. Dont accept this as ok Barbara. Dont let them have an easy life as your detriment. They see this a lot so they have measures in place but out of lazyness they will try and fob you off. Insist.Argh!

Tina's right - your painkillers should help a lot and at your age I would certainly expect it to come and go. Many of us find that it's weather-related too - you'll become a human barometer, able to tell when a storm's heading your way when it's still only halfway across the Atlantic! Personally I find that the change in air pressure affects me most, but hot, dry stable weather seems to keep it under control. One day at a time, hun - and as Tina says, you're joining a big family and we're all here for you! Big hugs xxThank you @tina_marie . I do feel part of a family here. There is no doubt.
I'm hoping I'm right in thinking it will come and go. Or is that it. Will I be in constant pain?
There's always a place for you here, Cumbs - we consider you an honorary T2! And it wouldn't be the same without your saucy little one-liners, perfectly pitched sense of humour and great outlook on life, so don't abandon us!Hope all you ladies and gents are ok and those of you who are not 100% hope relief comes soon
The type 1 threads are not as busy as type 2 and on the morning blood sugars thread hardly anyone posts
I miss you guys on here
I keep sneaking back lol
I have little one in nursery starting 19th so this will definitely help. After xmas I might up him to full-time.

Yes, you're maybe not living in the best part of the world for arthritis relief!!! And you're right about pregnancy taking its toll - I read somewhere that your cartilage doesn't get back to normal until a year after the birth! xxI have little one in nursery starting 19th so this will definitely help.

I was reluctant to use a stick as I get embarrassed. But if still painful I've heard I can take co-codamol inbetween naproxen so its reassuring if pain gets unbearable. Anti-inflammatories never really give me much pain relief. Co-codamol did take the edge off the breath taken away pain and just left pain in movement. I'm hoping naproxen takes all pain away.
I've never had to take painkillers til I moved back up north. Damp air definitely a culprit and when I jumped off a tiny wall 4 weeks after having toddler and got a nasty shock as my shock absorbers had up and left me. Ha ha Pregnancy is great for bendy bones.
My hormones has been playing up lately. Maybe I'm missing some Progesterone lately. I'll see if I can get consultant to investigate.
I did think hormones weren't right! I don't like being high maintenance! I have got time for it. Ha ha
Hi @debrasue -- re another thread -- could you possibly repost your prune and amaretto recipe please? thanks.Yes, you're maybe not living in the best part of the world for arthritis relief!!! And you're right about pregnancy taking its toll - I read somewhere that your cartilage doesn't get back to normal until a year after the birth! xx
A little part of me is hoping not arthritis just a repairable joint after jumping off the tiny wall. I was sooo excited about taking baby out for new bits with my mum in Hastings I got carried away and thought I was 20 not 43yr old. I think Pregnancy does make you feel bouncy. A got a big shock when I thumped on my landing instead of bounced it off. Ha haYes, you're maybe not living in the best part of the world for arthritis relief!!!

Ow your poor mum! My mum is 71 (or 7.1 as she prefers to say!) and she has arthritis in her back and all down her left hand side. She still gets out and about thanks to her big chunky walking stick, she's lethal with that thing! She did fencing when she was a wee lass at grammar school so she takes great delight in waving it about like a swashbuckler!A little part of me is hoping not arthritis just a repairable joint after jumping off the tiny wall.

It might be arthritis thou as that was 3 and a half years ago when I jerked it. The tester will be if I have arthritis elsewhere. I don't think I have nor pain anywhere but there.
My poor mum has a metal hip, knee and toes and has just been told her other knee needs doing now. Arthritis is rife up here!
