my positive thought for today -

I was thinking last night in bed, my symptoms have abated considerably since 5 years ago.  In fact I feel a lot better than I did 12 months ago  . 

The symptoms I do still get are milder too and I believe the menopause does run its course and eventually levels out with or without help, whichever way you choose  .

This is  a lovely thread, makes me happy just to read it, I personally am very positive but still have days when I get tangled up in myself  and know it really helps to think through  all the great ( very normal )  things about my life and take lots of exercise as that really helps, I like to smile at people I dont know hopefully not in a mad sort of way and when they smile back that feels good, x

great news BJ

HB, oh yes 'the halti' I have lead trained many a dog with the use of a halti, now then... devil dog came to us and we discovered he had never had a lead on, he is a very big and very powerful dog he pulled DH on the floor many times.  I got a halti, devil dog threw himself at the floor and refused to move.  I have photo's of the week I tried and of devil dog on the floor in the driveway while I sat on the wall.  The halti did not work. Also tried the gentle leader and all other variations.  Not forgetting the 3 trainers.
Didnt take Devil dog out today.

I'm fine today - honest

Oh dear, poor thing has really had a hard time. My Retreiver was as soft as soft and I could really do anything with her that I wanted. However I did have an Irish Setter that had a bad streak a mile wide. I paid to send her to a training school for a week and it did help a bit. Hubby was the only one who could control her.

My positive for today....umm. Back is a bit better and son is coming to visit tomorrow....I think.
Oh and I'm home after a morning at mothers...that's always positive

I'm struggling today, night sweats are back, had my first panic in the night for months and am so down, and its raining. Whats positive? I honestly don't know

[babyjane]

he didn't understand what you were trying to do to him did he Lynda?  Poor dog, how to overcome all his issues will take all your expertise but you will find a way in eventually.  You will win his trust. 

I know a family who took in a very damaged dog, damaged from a few weeks old.  It took 5 years for him to learn what love is and to start to trust.  He died 2 years later from issues related to his very poor start but he knew love and play and what grass is for those final 2 years.

If your night sweats are back sarai then they must have gone away once and will go away again.  Try to believe that if you can, if only for a little while x

[Sarai]

To be honest i went to bed feeling good, my tinnitus was quieter, thought that was a good sign and woke up scared stiff with it screaming at me. hence the panic.
Cant decide if hormones causing the sweat made it spike.

BJ - 5 years!!! omg, that gives me another 3 yet, looking back I really do not think he did know.  Before him we adopted a similar dog at 18 months old, he had a bad start and was rather difficult too.  Took him about 2 years to settle and we loved him so much, we lost him days before his 5th birthday to bone cancer

Sarai - not sure if I should say this or not here, but I tried 'sage capsules' last week, not had a night sweat since, might be co-incidence and they may return, but might be worth trying till you get any other remedy sorted out.  I do drink sage tea at bed time too.

Big positive today :-) went to finalize wedding arrangements - scaled it down to what i really want instead of the big "do".. then went for pub lunch. - no anxiety and actually quite enjoyed it. -  now if this background fear would just bugger off... would be a perfect day ! :-)

[Sarai]

Sadlynda, thanks for that , I will look into sage. see if its ok with blood thinners.

[babyjane]

SadLynda we can say what we like here if it is positive 

Your boy might not take that long but he will learn what love is and stop fighting you, I do believe that.  You have so much experience with them, just be patient and consistent and he will learn x
