Re: Am Not Coping

Nah @Former-Member nicht gut, nicht schlecht no positive diagnoses just guesses still despite tests so it possibly really bad but will have to wait and see they want me to get scans on elbows before referring me for rheumatoid arthritis inflammation was off the clock everything else ok including uric acid re gout he just said thiks I have it well I said yes it hurts but nothing like people who have it habe told me. He wouldn’t prescribe anything for it tho despite claiming I have it. Yay I need a new dr

Re: Am Not Coping

Goodnight @Zoe7 Hope your sleep is nightmare-free & long 

Glad you’re feeling more relaxed @Former-Member. My 17 yo has just left for a driving lesson with my husband (apparently I don’t give enough instructions - fancy me not talking enough!?!)

Re: Am Not Coping

It’s hard finding a good doctor @TAB I’m still looking   Given up. I just ask for sleep meds and prns. Had trouble getting them at one stage.  doctors were reluctant to give them out. Finally I found one who can see I’m not a druggie. I’ve lived this long without overdoing it ever. I totally don’t look at all like a druggie. 

It sucks when you don’t get anything to help pain. 

 

Ugh. Driving lessons @Sam3 I’m totally over it. How are you tonight. Sooooo humid here. 

Re: Am Not Coping

Unfortunately I'm quite depressed & anxious atm. 

I'm not sleeping very well. I think sleep is the biggest factor atm.

By the way. What’s gout @TAB 

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @oceangirl I’m really sorry to hear that. Do you think there are contributing factors to you feeling worried & low atm? I find it hard to accept when my mood is low because there’s often suffering involved but I’m try to accept things more even when they’re unpleasant. Doesn’t make it much easier, but it’s probably easier than telling myself “I shouldn’t be like this”. What do you find helps (if anything) at the moment? Sending you comfort amidst the crappiness (grammar alert @Flying_Hams

@Former-Member I concur with you that doctors with competence, empathy & mental health experience are not easy to find.
