Hi Donna, Only when i am bored...have to try and keep my mind busy...so easy to go and grab a biscuit or crisps or chocolate....hence why i no longer have them much in the house...its the only way, or i would be eating them. Cant be easy with a little one either Keep busy, take care, Love Tinaxx

Hi Miss Piggy Congratulations on your 40th next week, enjoy your party and have a great birthday...good for you Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Anne I am also 8 months on, and get very tired sometimes, try to walk, but my balance and confidence hinders me and feel a pain asking someone to walk with me.. Not sure, think it just comes back with time...your energy that is, sorry not much help. You have done well getting back to work....i am not there yet... Take care Love Tinaxx

Louise, you did honey, you always do xxx

Hi Miss Piggy A warm welcome to BTG. You sure have had a tough time,bless you. I am at 8 months, i am s/e and really want to get back to work, for many reasons, finacially, keeping my business going and because i feel guilty, like you. I have not managed to get back yet, i still have problems with my eye and balance and the dreaded fatigue. My husband like yours is my rock, he is so supportive and understanding and never puts any pressure on me at all. But i do know what you mean when you say you feel guilty, i feel guilty that i have put my husband and kids and parents through hell and back, but as the others have said, it was nothing we could have controlled. I am sure if you sat down with your hubby and explained how you feel, you can sort it out together. Maybe reducing the hours, or help around the home. We can be very emotional as well, it is good to talk, we are always here for you.... I dont know where i would be today if was not for this wonderful website, and the wonderful friends i have made here, there is always someone who can help or advise you. Take care Lots of Love Tinaxx

Hi Carol A warm welcome to you, this web site has been a Godsend to me, and has been helpful, supportive and caring. There is always someone that can help you, welcome. Great to see you in the Green Room, where we chat about anything, happy or sad, hope to see you in there again. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Sarah C Bless you , you have had a hard time of it. I was clipped 8 months ago, and like you want to go back to work, want to be normal again, but just know i am not ready. Trouble is we look normal, once our hair and scars have repaired and our nerve palsy etc, and unfortunatly people just dont understand. It is lovely to hear you are still fighting for yourself and your family. Maybe you could show your Mum and family some of the posts that we have written on here. It seems that some of us have good days and then some really bad days, we all suffer from the dreaded tiredness, something i have never experienced before sah. I was always running around like a headless chicken, and if i try that now i suffer, I am 45 two kids, 18 and 20. I know it is early days for me, but there are others on here that are further on and still suffer much like you. Stay positive, look at what you have achieved, you should be very proud of yourself. I am sure your Mum is just trying to help, and loves you very much, it is difficult for others to comprehend what we go through. This web site has been a God send to me, i hope you find it as wonderful. and as helpful as i have..and remember we are always here for you and know how you feel. Take care and as Karen always says...dont be so hard on yourself Love Tinaxx

Elaine....this website has been a God send to all of us

Hi Yvonne A warm welcome to you. It is wonderful to hear how well you have done, it sure is an inspiration for the rest of us, who are striving to get where you are. Well done to you, you must be very proud. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Donna I agree with Janet, try and rest as much as possible,and maybe things do seem worse because of the time of the month, doesn't help matters thats for sure! Take care Hun, things will get better, keep your chin up....keep it possitive, and as i said earlier, you have done so well already, give yourself a break Remember the times we have ROFL Sorry just trying to make you smile and cheer you up You taught me that !!! Love Tinaxx

Thanks Karen will have a look at that too and ask my GP

Thanks Lynn, i am the same, not as bad now as i was, but will certainly give it a go

Bless you Shiree ************* SAH...... does make you feel better doesnt it As i said if worried go and see your Doctor, just for piece of mind, sleep well, take care Love Tinax

Hi Shiree Sorry, cannot help you, i have not noticed anything like that. Check with your Doctor if worried. Try not to worry too much hun Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Holly I suffer from endermitiosis....that is why i had to have fertility treatment and all sorts of ops to have my two children. Might speak to my Specialist about that if pains get worse...have been awful, worse than ever.Interesting! Love Tinaxx

Hi Donna Not sure what is happening at the moment, did not have a period for 6 months, when i did was really painful, but not heavy for a change, then had two in one month......all over the place...I never have been grumpy, just get more emotional,and sensitive the week before. God knows whats happening, i had a test, and also going through the change...all good fun Love Tinaxx

Hi Joanne I am also very sorry to hear about your Dad, and hope he continues to improve. I was the same as the others, chatting away at the beginning, but seem to have lost lots of memories after being clipped, my hubby has to fill me in. I did not speak much at first, my hubby said i was drifting in and out of sleep alot. I agree with what the others have said about the brain mending, just takes time. I am fine now, it probably took a month before i was was talking normally, but still so very tired. Sending lots of love your way and thinking of you, time is a great healer,and your Dad sounds like he is doing just fine. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Jill, a warm welcome to you mine was only 8 months ago , so early days for me, but there still is nothing out there when you leave hospital, a friend told me about this web site....it has been a true Godsend to me. I still suffer from short term memory and concentration makes me very tired. Take care Love Tinaxx
