    Why is getting treatment for mental health problems and eating disorders such a battle? I really don't know why I have been bothering and think the best option would be to quietly shift off this curtain and join the choir invisibule...

      Thanks to the above for their kind thoughts. I really don't have the inclination or energy to fight for things anymore, I really can't see the point.

      Hello Natalie,

      Life is about good days and bad days - but there is always a point. As a Spurs supporter you wouldn't give up on them when they lose would you?

       

      There are no easy answers and quick fixes and it'd be facile for me to suggest to you that there are. You have to find your own way to journey between the good and bad times.

       

      But I was listening to someone on Radio 4 last week and what he said struck a chord. Just appreciate life for what it is. Just f...

      Just feel the wind in your hair and the touch of something in your fingers.

       

      Perhaps you can use the way you feel now to help someone who is feeling in a similiar way.

       

      My best wishes to you.

    Mental health still not good and having major struggles with food and eating but managing to keep a bit saner by keeping in touch with all the comings and goings on RMWeb. Maybe it should be available on an FP10 (prescription)!

      Pester them all - GP, hospital, social workers...until you do get help. Someone will listen, they are all trying to avoid new cases because of the cutbacks - don't ask....etc. KEEP AT THEM!! Best wishes NHN

    Off for my third OGD in the morning to see how my non-healing peptic ulcers are doing. Not been a good month for me- have had two separate week long hospital stays for a variety of physical and emotional reasons. Hopefully the worst is behind me and I can get my life back on track again.

      I hope so too, Nat.

      What a drag for you it has been.

      Sorry to hear that Nat - hope you're now on the road to recovery.

    Some great news for a change. Have today been offered a job to start next Monday. At last my current nightmare can end and I can hold my head up again. Am I happy- you bet your life I am!!!

    Absolutely shocked at this evening's events at White Hart Lane. Thankfully latest reports are that Fabrice Muamba is currently stable in hospital. Football and its rivalries don't matter when something like this occurs. We are all human beings.

      Lets hope he pulls through OK. His status has been quoted recently as 'critical'. Heartfelt best wishes to him and his family.

      Natalie, watching it live on Telly, may I say how fantastic the Spurs supporters were - and continue to be - this evening. It's not often we are reminded of our mortality in such a frightening manner, but the Spurs and Bolton fans alike reminded us all of the humanism inherent in the sport. Hoping and praying Muamba will pull through.

      Latest is Muamba is now critical, Not good news at all

    Had my two endoscopic procedures yesterday which confirmed my initial suspicions. Nothing sinister at least which is reassuring. Just need to keep on with my ferrous fumerate and folic acid tablets (for my anaemia) and start PPI therapy. Oh and another OGD to look forward to in 8 weeks...

    1. coachmann

      Sounds like you are going through the works Natalie. Can't be easy just to get through each day. Good luck.

    2. Natalie

      Natalie

      Thanks Larry. Essentially I'm fine- just have this continual stomach pain and a lack of breath- at least I know what is causing it all now so I can get the right treatment and be returned to my optimum! I just get on with things and there are people far worse off than me. It'll take more than this to keep this gobby cow down!! :-)

  7. Natalie

    It appears my B12 levels are indeed OK. It is my ferritin and folate which are low coupled with an HB of 11 means I have macrocytic aneamia. Hopefully the FeSo and Folate tabs should give me back a bit more oomph and I feel back to my normal power rating! I also have been granted a visit to see an endoscopist for an OGD (joy indeed!) within 14 days just to make sure I still have a long term future and am not about to be condemned!

      Keeping my fingers crossed for you! This condition cannot be much fun, according to what I just read, so I hope your treatment will be effective quickly...

    2. Natalie

      Natalie

      Thanks. I'm certainly not ready to be abolished, switched out or scrapped just yet. The OGD is precautionary and just needs to be investigated in view of the anaemia. I shall be here for a while yet!

      Best of luck with it all Nat - hopefully the iron pills will help and the OGD will confirm you're working normally.

    It appears that my levels of Vitamin B12 are low... Does this mean I am now 'stored but servicable' ? :-)

    Today is the 30th anniversary of the first APT passenger run. What better way to celebrate this fine train than for Hornby to re-release their APT.

      Rather than re-release, an all new tooling would be much better, similar to the way Bachmann have fonr the Blue Pullman.

    Just wanted to thank people for the kind words and thoughts expressed following the loss of my beloved Black Beast. They were comforting and very much appreciated. *HUGS*

  14. Natalie

    Wish these explosive devices would shut up- sounds like a warzone. Sooner they get banned the better.

      Seconded. There is a firework display about two miles away from so loud my windows are rattling (or the RAF is bombing the crap out of Bognor Regis)

      Why are they not bombing Slough in a friendly manner?

    Totally devastated and in complete disbelief at the sudden and unexpected loss of my beloved Black Beast Smokes yesterday evening. Don't know what else to say really. :-(

      Thanks :-) I'm really in a quandary now about what to do next and just cannot make up my mind. Cherish the now as the next one day will never come.

      So sorry to hear the sad news Nat - but hopefully you'll move forward with another in a few weeks time. When our DJ went it was all a case of never having another cat - for almost two whole weeks.

    Good day so far! Onto second interview for a job. Hopefully my return to the employed workforce is not too far off...

    has her beloved black beast Smokey in the authorised position- sprawled out on her lap purring. Feline company is wonderful!

      anything in there about brighton/eastbourne postal workings?

    2. Natalie

      Yep there is- any specific dates you interested in. I have random CWN from the 1970s up to May 1988 timetable.

  21. Natalie

    is back online as I now have a new monitor so can see the screen again!

    Good to see you here Mr Prince. Hope all is well.
