6-7/10 is a great improvement Mac. Glad you are feeling a lot better.

They were talking about 50 shades on the radio today. They are going to make it into a film. I must pick up a copy.

Himself has read about it on BBC News web-site - apparently.  Wonder if he will read it too  ;)

Hi,
  haven't been on for a while but just read some of the posts.
I have had a couple of good days, but this afternoon felt the anxiety creeping up on me but I think I have done too much. Had to drive some friends back to the airport this morning and cos I live in Spain I haven't driven to airport on my own with a U.K car on wrong side of road. I drive around but not long journeys and OH is going home next week to U.K for a few days and that is stressing me a bit. and also lack of sleep cos it is unbearingly hot here at night.
mac, so glad you are going on holiday, I hope you have a fantastic time. I am sure you are just having little blips at mo and will feel a lot better soon. A 6-7/10 sounds pretty good.
AnneB I am sorry you are not feeling good yet. What patch do you take and what dosage? I am thinking of trying a patch next not that I can be bothered with trying something else but it is the only thing I haven't tried yet. Hope you feel better soon.

Paisley - you did good  :medal:  I tend to avoid issues until I have to do them so rarely drive alone these days.  As for on the 'wrong' side fo the road, what are they like ......... we're in Europe now, they should change to our side  ;D

Hi Paisley

Good to hear from you.  I've been thinking about you because you've not been on :) You did really well to drive to the airport, not easy on the wrong side of the road.  Strangley I find it easier than the right side!!!!  Great you've had some good days.  I did have a good day yesterday and as today has progressed its been good too, althought his morning I did post that I was only a 4 out of ten.  I know what you mean about OH going away.  I used to love having the place to myself and have the girls around but now I don't look foward to it as much.  Organise some treats for yourself while hes away, massage, facial etc.

Macxxx

Thanks mac, from your posts I can def see an improvement and your ups and downs are a good sign cos I feel that you are def having more ups than you did. Long may it continue.
I think you are right I will just have to keep myself and my little boy busy perhaps go out for days, it's just too bloomin hot to do anything.

Or early walks; followed by lazing - reading, drawing, colouring-in - then walks in the evenings when it's cooler.  Has he settled?

Sorry CLKD,
                just read your message and that sounds nice. I am having an afternoon siesta at mo. Well while in Rome do as the Romans do except it is Spain. Yes he loves it here, he is in the pool twice a day. It is such a better quality of life for him. Thanks

I think I am getting over ADs now and back to feeling ok for a week and a half then rest of time very emotionally hormonal. I can feel it coming, get aches and pains in legs more mood swings, then a few days later anger, more anxiety and then the waterworks starts, this lasts for a week and then start to feel better. I can't fathom it out. I had a full hyster, no ovaries and don't know why I keep getting fluctuations.
Sorry for ramble CLKD.
How are you?

You ramble!  I'm fine.  Sort of.

Hormones are still controlled by various parts of the body, the adrenal glands can be a nuisance at times, it's not simply progesterone and oestrogen!  Insulin, adrenaline etc. can all cause us to feel weird and 'off'!

Yes I think I forget about the other hormones in our bodies. I just think cos I have no ovaries then why am I still fluctuating but there is the stress hormone as well isn't there.
How are you sort of fine? You are here for everyone else but what about you?

OH thank you.  Well: himself is off to France, the 1st time we've been apart for 3 years and the first time we've slept apart since I can't remember when  ::) and whilst I'm not worried: yet: I will be so pleased to see him back home, his first adventure since he married me in 1975  ;D and I can't wait to hear all his news  :-*

So tired.  A bit anxious.  Keeping busy, have a list of chores to do whilst he's away ..........  :whist:
