Oooops. Sorry.
Hi Sue ,not good but not as bad as I have been -so good and bad really !!! Hope alll fellow “wobblers” are doing as well
as they can .Hoping for a good nights sleep and waking up feeling more " sane " ,fingers crossed eh !! I do think accupunctiure has helped a bit managed a short walk with dog and trip to corner shop -progress !!
Room for another wobbler?! I am practicing breathing and visualisation techniques but difficult to find space to do it. Gardening works for me but it’s just too wet. X
Always room for more Janey ?!!
Good night fellow wobblers, heres hoping we all get as much peaceful sleep as possible
Hugs
Mary x
Good morning ladies .Managed some sleep til about 6 am which is progress.Mornings are the worst time for me .Husband gone to work already an hour early …think he has had enough of all of this .Yeh,me too !!!
Best tell some jokes and funny stories to get us through the day then …
When I was in hospital for hysterectomy a lady in bed opposite me ended up very poorly with an infection that they couldn’t get on top of .She kept trying to get out of bed attached to all her drips etc and we had to keep yelling for her not to - always seemed to be at night when very few staff.One night she was delirious and thought we were in the Houses of Parliament and that I was Tony Blair !!! The nights were not that relaxing … felt so sorry for her but at times was funny .
It will pass - it just seems like forever when you’re in it .If you have found tablets that help you Jbelle take them for a while then when you are feeling better come off them gradually ,don’t feel guilty for taking medication to help . R u at home on your own today ? That doesn’t help does it ,too much time to dwell on how you feel.
What hormone tablets are you on ? I know people who have come off the meds because they made them feel so awful mentally .
Don’t be daft ,that is what this forum is for .Sometimes the people closest to us find it really hard to know how to deal with all of this .Some minimise it cos that’s easier than the scary reality of someone close to you having cancer.How long have you been on the Tamoxifen ?
After 4 years if it is the Tamoxifen it’s not gonna get better - a few months to adjust maybe not years .It obviously doesn’t agree with you and there are other ladies who have had similar and had to come off for the sake of their sanity .Have you tried having a break from it for a few months to establish whether it def is the Tamoxifen ?
Forced myself to walk round block again with dog -walked into a low hanging branch .Didnt even realise I had cut myself til son said -Mum why are you bleeding ?
Lots of ladies I know have taken a break as advised by oncologist up to 6 months when they have really serious effects .They don’t seem too concerned regarding a few months break at all ( the oncologists) .It helps to establish what’s causing what - if you get a lot better you know where it’s coming from if not - you need to work out how to improve things.There are no guarantees with Tamoxifen - they know that it helps some more than others and maybe some ladies not at all -you can get a re-occurrence on Tamoxifen .There is research going on to establish who will be most helped by taking the meds.Ring them and ask for a discussion regarding a break for a couple of months and don’t be fobbed off .
PS remember it’s YOUR decision not theirs and they don’t have to live with the horrible life spoiling side effects .
Yes - do it !!! Ok ,tomorrow you can talk some sense into me !!!
Hi All,
Just had a little catch-up read. Jbelle - you are not going crazy, promise! But I’m sorry you’ve had a tough day.
Jill, ooops, I blame the tree. What a nerve, are you ok?
Janey, the sun has finally come out here in East Anglia, have you managed to get back into the garden? I too love to garden and it makes me happy. Last winter the OH and I planted a baby oak on a piece of land we own, by the spring it was a twig with 5 leaves and now it is a slightly taller twig with 5 leaves and about 7 little branches and more leaves coming. I am so excited.
Mary, I’m loving the fellow wobblers thing.
I know it is a bit late in the day but here is my funny medical story… My Mum met my Godmother when they were both in the maternity hospital, shall we call her Enid… Anyway, after she had had her baby her husband gave her a huge bunch of those lovely smelly lilies you can buy. One of the long brown stamens from one of the lilies must have found it’s way into her wash bag and ended up in the bath water when she had her first bath in the hospital after giving birth (it was 60 years ago). So when the long brown stamen floated past her in the bath water she was so horrified she just screamed the place down thinking something something vital had come adrift inside. Big panic apparently and lots of running Doctors and Midwives. Poor thing… I’m sure I would have done the same.
Peaceful dreams my wobblie chums, better days are coming…
Love Gillx
The wobbly support group is now formally established!!! Hopefully we can take it in turns -or we will be in big trouble !!!
Confession time. Have been feeling worse daily and have made the connection I ran out of super strength evening primrose. Bought some more and took one this morning and, although I’m still stressy, noticed a real reduction today in panic and anxiety … I don’t care if it’s a placebo, although I did also get an hour in the garden. I wonder? Wishing you all some relief too x
Sending you a hug Janey,beyond helpful advice at this time of night due to lack of sleep and extreme anxiety all day,better day tomorrow for all of us ??? I have found that stopping new asthma inhaler has reduced anxiety by 50% so just shows you how much medication /supplements can help/hinder …,
