Just wondering if anyone had any updates on this as im going to see about this on the 18th August and any help would be brilliant (have waited over a year for this appointment) donna marie

That's really good news dawn ? I have yet to return to work tired it and it didn't work out at all. I have now joined a cedar retraining course which will run for two years and I will try all the jobs I want and feel I can do now to see how things work out with the headaches still in full force it limits what I can do and returning to cafe work will not be an option. Try and relax on your extra hours at home ( easier said than done ) Good luck Donna

That's great news Sandi I will add this to my information for doctors as I'm waiting on a referral to see if I would be able to take something like this!! Still waiting as the first hospital I was referred to said I was to high risk for them to take on so I've been re referred. Take care Donna MaRie

Since I had my SAH 2 1/2 years ago the kitchen is def not my favourite place. I've burnt loads of things from just sauces to entire dinners before I used to have friends and family over all the time but its safer if I order takeout or Gareth cooks now ( last year I flooded the kitchen just trying to wash a few dishes lol !! On a brighter note I got a new one . It takes time and effort to cook now but I still keep trying some day good some bad ( if u only seen what happened to Keith's recipe for beef Wellington lol) but try and try again is my motto

Does anyone have a problem with there emotions I cry at adverts on tv in the past but now they are gone !!! Not just because off my granny but other family matters close to the heart and I'm as dry as a whistle what's up with this. Not that I want to cry but I no everything that's come up in the last few days should make me feel something where is the person I was have I turned into an uncaring !!!!???!!! Does anyone else have this problem I'm becoming so lost Donna

My sleeping pattern is awful it changes so much all the time one night it's no sleep even if I'm tired and have tried to sleep !!! This goes on for days then my body shuts itself down and I just sleep for hours / days I've had sleeping tablets and even with these on bad nights I can only manage about two hours Donna

Very well said sandi

Hi Stephanie sorry you are feeling low No you are not using this as an excuse but many people don't seem to realise how we feel !!!! Put your feet up and have a nice cuppa !!!! Maybe you should print of the spoon story for for son and that would help him understand. I have only explained this to very close people as I decide it wasn't worth my energy on others Take care Donna

That's great news Sally !!!!! I got my appeals forms through and they didn't change it so I'm going for an oral appeal can't believe it !!! They didn't get my doctors letters until the 24th which states I'm unfit for work and a risk to me and others but they still didn't change there mind think I'm going to have to get an mp or someone on my side as I'm screwed Donna:devil:

Welcome to the site Stephanie !!!!! I have been suffering depression since my SAH which was over 2 years ago!!!! I find it really hard to get going I have been trying many different anti d since my bleed but none seem to be working. Before my bleed I was a healthy and happy person. You are most definitely not losing your mind many of us feel this way!!! Just be strong and rest loads if u ever want to talk just PM me Take care Donna

Hi Kris I could write a book on this !!!!!! i just cant come to terms that the old me is gone. i had so much planned for my life was working an enjoyable job making plently on money and having a great life and planning on starting a family this was 2 years ago now im stuck in limbo cant do anything now my dream of fostering when i was 30 has gone out the window i seem to just do nothing i often wonder if this is going to be forthe next 40/50 years. some days are better than other and i look forward to these. My biggest problem is i push myself to try and be the old me or at least part of her and then when i fail i get really done on myself bigs hug going your way donna xxx

hello all just trying to catch up on some posts as i have been hiding michelle i hate the fatigue i willbe 2 years next week and still suffer fromit big time if i find a cure i promise to share. How strange is this The tablets Mary is talking about ive been put on today . I will let you no how i find them as i think ive been puton them for both depression and neuropain . donna

Well I got my results of my medical and scored a big fat 0 . I am been sent out the appeal form from my support worker but I. Honestly don't think I have the energy or nerves left to do this. Have sat done with the books and there is no way we can afford just hubbies wage I'm so angry don't even think it would have been so bad if I had got a few points but. Othing is X&@£! I have little enough help with stuff from docs etc and this is just the icing on the cake feeling so low and lonely

I find this ever difficult to deal with as i never really cried much before SAH now i can cry at the drop of a hat !!!!. One night we were out at a friends house and they all wanted to go to the pub ( no pressure was on me too go) but i knew my head was starting to go off on one so i said no they all decided to stay with me instead but of course i started to cry because i wanted them to go !!!!!! TV is also another thing that makes me cry before only a select few film would of now i cant even watch the RSCPA ads !!! ANGER whats that !!!! other than my new best friend this is somthing i have been trying to control but find it impossible and the worst thing is it happens anywhere and its out before i can stop it. Like sitting in my inlaws hubby said something about buying golf stuff ( AGAIN) and i just turned glared at him and told his dad if anymore golf stuff was bought u may get a room ready for his return ( this has been typed alot nicer than was said ) donna

I would ask your doc. When I asked mine about stuff not to do he said " there are only two things you shouldn't do and that is deep sea diving and bungee jumping. I went on these machine s for about 6 week ( my own choice ) my gym said it was fine but I didn't notice any difference so stopped
