Thread: Hi i`m back again lol

Oh Roch hun, I do hope you start to feel better soon, I can only echo what the lovely Ann has said, you must get help and demand it if need be!! (I understand your reluctance to kick up a fuss and draw attention to yourself -- we've all been there) but hun don't suffer needlessly, I am soo worried about you please ring the gp surgery and demand a home visit, you are entitled to the same level of care as anyone and deserve to feel better!

Get well soon babe, (((HUGS))) xx

Have you telephoned the surgery Roch? You seem to have a good relationship with your GP from what you've said before.

Gosh i am what lucky lady 2 have so may peeps caring about me "thanks from the bottom of my heart"

Well today the pain seems to have eased up as the day has gone by.Usually my sciatica starts playing up mid cycle and then usually eases by the time Totm arrives and Totm arrived yesterday but yesterday was a terrible day for me.

Have managed to do a bit today and only took 6 pain killers instead of 8/10 so thats a def improvement for me.
Will def be in touch with my doc tomorrow after surgery and insist she either comes out(which is not very likely to happen) or she prescribes me different meds to help the Sciatica not to just control the pain which did not work.I will also book an app with her for next week hopefully will be up to going.

I really appreciate all the support u all have shown me, thanks, take care and have a good night xx

Please to hear your feeling a bit better this evening Roch, I really hope that the doc can help you tomorrow.

Hope you get a good nights rest. Even if tomorrow you feel a bit better again I would 'lay it on thick' to the doc and insist that you are helped....know what I mean

Love

Hi Roch, glad your feeling better today, you know years ago there was alway's a doctor willing to make home visits, no matter who you were or what was wrong, it's such a shame that's all changed now

Hi Roch
glad that you are feeling slightly better - I hope that the Doctor has lots of empathy and gets you on the road to recovery!
You take Care of You

Hi Roch, I'm glad to hear you're getting better, and also that you are feeling so positive. Even when the pain was very bad you were posting that it would pass eventually.

I am calorie counting to lose weight having decided that LL/CD just wasn't right for me. And you do lose a lot of weight in the early months, and you start to feel better quite soon - though it creeps up on you. I was out at the weekend washing my car and it was easy to get down and clean the wheels, whereas a few months ago it was a job I dreaded doing. I've read that you are supposed to aim to lose 10% of your body weight in the first 3 months, it's achievable and it produces measurable clinical benefit - and that is all true!

Sorry to waffle on about myself but just trying to share and say that everything is about to get a lot better for you very soon and that is a great thing which you well deserve. Lots of people (lurkers) have read your posts and our thoughts are with you, good luck and you go girl.

How are you feeling today Roch????
(((hugs)))

Morning everyone, thanks thanks and thanks again for all your kind messages.
Well my back is still breaking at the moment and feeling like crap, it did ease up yesterday a bit but i think it was because i had some Feminax painkillers to help with Totm pain as i have cysts in my tubes which are so painfull with Totm and i think those extra painkillers helped with the back ache.
Well am waiting till 1.30 till docs surgery finishes to speak to my doc am so desperate to get some help i cant manage like this over the weekend.

Poor Aaron has had to do almost everything for me the washing and the cleaning and eating take aways and convenience food as i cant manage to cook also my best friend comes in every other day to help me as well thank god.

Well was on pc for far 2 long yesterday got caught up with tsome things happeneing here on the site and i am oaying for it bug time today with my back, so am logging off fir a bit and going to lie down as when i am in bed i dont have hardly any pain.
Take care hope u all have a good day xxx

I'll say it again Roch, this is no life. You MUST get some help/care/treatment - both for yourself, and for your son's sake.
thinking of you, Ann x

Thanks Ann i am finding it very hard today am in alot of pain will def ring gp at 1.30 thanks hun x

Well my doc just rung and basically all she said i can do is get a prescription for a stronger anti inflamatory tab "diclofenac 50mg) that also has a painkiller in it.
She asked me if i had heard from the Endicrinologist and i told her i have phoned them and thy said i have to wait till they contact me .
So thats it fobbed off again !!

Hate to say it - but I told you so! I can't for the life of me see diclofenac helping you, but I do hope it does.
Ring that helpline.

Oh Roch you poor thing! Your GP sounds useless!

I took diclofenac last year when I put my back out (I could barely move, tiny baby steps to get to the loo and lying down was impossible lol) and if I remember correctly they did help but only for a couple of hours at a time, I don't know how helpful they'd be with sciatica?

Could you ask for a second opinion? Is there another gp who could see you as a matter of urgency at the same surgery?

If you take the diclofenac and still find yourself struggling tonight, ring an ambulance! I ordinarilly wouldn't suggest something so drastic but bloody hell you have been suffering now for days! You do deserve to get urgent treatment!!!!!

Take care hun, and good luck xx

Oh Roch, I've only just caught up with this and I wish I could do something to help.
I take diclofenic from time to time for a knee problem. It did help me, but it sounds like you need far more than an increase in pain killers.

((((hugs)))))

Do you feel able to try acupuncture? My dad had it for sciatica and although he moaned like heck about it at the time, it did help him tremendously.

Thinking about you.
