Maureen a big hug coming right back at you x
 
Well. I'm hoping to get this pain management sussed.
Added back my co-codamol for intrim relief so no anti-inflammatory til bedtime. Fingers crossed. Been advised to seek a chiro practitioner for better help in relieving problem. ;)
I'm hopeful. I'm openminded! :)

Oh bless him.
@tina_marie is there a support team for him. Like our diabetic team but for his neurogical problems?
We are lucky to have some great diabetic support under the nhs and here.
I wish I knew more so I could help you and Ron more.
I hope me being a part-time listener is enough. I do worry sometimes I am not enough for Ron's medical problems and support for you?
Do you feel your both getting enough support?

Bless him, that's young to have to deal with seeing his dad go through all this...
I agree with @ickihun abut the support network, but I suppose until you actually know definitively what's causing it, it's difficult to find the right support. But even if we can't offer practical help on the forum, you know we're all here for you and Ron...
Massive hugs xxx

Everybody on here have been wonderful including yourself. I don't know what we would of done without you all.i know there are support groups for people with epilepsy but we don't know what he has or what the cause of it is. I wish the so called medical staff would get there finger out and stop dragging there heels. To be honest right from the start even with his diabetic care it has been ****. I've learnt so much from you all . I never knew of so many complications that can arise from diabetes alone. Now all this will be back soon .

Thank you all, having a bit of a melt down. Rons in bed now it makes him very tired .
 
@tina_marie we are here for you both. No matter what.
If there comes a time where you think there is more we can do, just ask. No problem.
You are not alone with it all.
Like you say, some aspects have let you both down. I do understand that upset and frustration with a system which could be bettter.
I'm just pleased investigation took place and without financial hardship to pay for it. I'm very very thankful for the nhs and it's staff. I know some get frustrated with it's limitations. Consultants alike.
I'm sure things will turn a corner soon. We will be here to celebrate with you. :)
 
Morning, FBG 5.7 mmol/l, raining heavy and having breakfast. Getting used to my 3 injections a day now. :)
 
Good Morning, my friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,

I had a fasting blood glucose reading early this morning of 4.8 Millimoles Per Litre. I did a very good shopping activity with my Home Careworker yesterday and bought some very exciting pre-cooked dinner ready meals, Roast Lamb, Chicken Hotpot, Beef Stew With Dumplings and Liver and Bacon and Roast Beef. My Asperger Syndrome is treating me well, although I'm still consuming some 'Devil Carbs' and sugary coffee. The satellite television company called "SKY" are going to collect, by direct debit, from my frozen bank account, the overdue amount of £48.75 and I shall be online in my comfortable one bedroomed council flat. My payment due date is 22nd September, 2016. The reason why I've been offline so long (approaching 4 months), my Corporate Appointee said, was because I added Sky Movies and Sky Sports which I never watched. I shall just have Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Nickolodeon, Nick Jnr, Disney XD, Disney Channel, Disney Junior on the new bundle because that's what I love to watch. I watched Bing Bunny and Baby Jake on C-Beebies this morning.

Have a lovely day, my friends, from a very temperate South London.

Johnny Baker.

He forgot to take his painkillers this morning. He woke with a headache and while he still has it there usually isn't any problems ,its when his head is numb that the problems start. He had a few tremors in the night . Will know more at 4.30 when hes home. Still not heard from neurologist. How are you?

Still in pain but trying to keep off co-codamol as very addictive I understand. I've gone from no painkillers to 8 per day. 6 co-codamol and 2 naproxen. Which I'm in bed very dopey but due co-codamol tablets. I'm trying to wait til a few hours time to get the best out of them near bedtime.
Did shopping this morning on naproxen only and was in agony.
Now other half has pain in his elbows. Some people! He'll do anything out of carrying shopping or packing at cash-out. That's probably why my back and pelvis is broke! Carrying toddler around too.
He said "I don't think we'll carry toddler around now". No because its his turn to do the lifting and carrying. Silly me for carrying everything from the start!
I say in a loud voice "I CANNOT CARRY HIM ANYMORE". No offer. I now also walk away. ...... he gets the picture. Shame I have to do that. I blame hubbies mother for his non committal to helping with shopping. He does loads in and out of the house. Well his half share. ;)
