I HAVE TO GO TO SEE THE DOCS THIS AFTERNOON. I HAVE BEEN
FEELING A LOT BETTER LATELY. I HAVE BEEN TAKING FLU FOR ABOUT 14 WEEKS.
I DON'T FEEL I CAN OPEN UP TO THE DOC TODAY AS I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE HE CAN DO FOR ME. OLD ISSUES WERE SORTED OUT
LAST TIME AND LEFT ME AN EMOTIONAL WRECK, I CAME BACK TO
WORK WITH SWOLLEN RED EYES AND LOOKED A MESS.
STILL I DID FEEL A LOAD WAS TAKEN OFF MY SHOULDERS FOR THE
TIME BEING. NOW AS I SAY I FEEL I SHALL BE WASTING HIS TIME.
ALTHOUGH IT HAS TAKEN 3 WEEKS TO GET THIS APPOINTMENT AS
THE RECEPTIONIST MIXED UP THE DATES;
DO ANY OF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS?
I KNOW I AM HAPPIER, BUT ITS SO LONG I HAVE FELT LKIE THIS IT
IS VERY STRANGE.
hi prinn :cheerup:
dont worry about seeing your doc just cos your feeling a bit better, dont forget the doc needs feedback on how your doing, otherwise they dont know if the meds are helping or not, im sure he'll be only too pleased to know your getting better :D
be honest with him, tell him how you feel, otherwise he cant help you improve even more and make a FULL recovery :wink:
i know talking about our inermost fears/feelings can be very distressing, but talking is definitely good for our illness, you said it yourself quote :- \"STILL I DID FEEL A LOAD WAS TAKEN OFF MY SHOULDERS FOR THE
TIME BEING\" go for it, youll be glad you did, theres no need to deal with this illness on your own :D
best of luck, let us know how you get on, cheers,

DEAR KEN
THANKS FOR REPLYING TO ME. IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE
IS THERE FOR US ON THIS SITE.
WELL I WENT TO DOC'S AND I 'TALKED THE HIND LEG OFF HIM'
HE UNDERSTOOD MY FEELING OF NOT BELIEVING I FEEL ALMOST
NORMAL AGAIN.(WHAT EVER NORMAL IS!) BUT IT'S OVER A YEAR
SINCE I FELT LIKE THIS.
HE SAID HIS DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN, BUT I BET HE WILL HIDE
UNDER THE DESK WHEN HE SEES ME COMING AGAIN. HE WAS SO
UNDERSTANDING TO ME, AND NOW DAYS IT'S A LUXURY TO TALK
ABOUT MY 'ILLNESS' COS EVERYONE ELSE MUST BE BORED SILLY.
LOVE

Hi Prin,
Glad to here you went to the doctors in the end. It helps to talk about what we are going through. I,m going to see mine on Thursday and I cant wait. Although when Thursday comes I start to get all nervous knowing I,ve got to go out,but once I am there I feel much better. I,ve been having a few good days lately although I still feel I,m living on a knife edge and I will slip off at some point.
I, like you have a very understanding (and patient) doctor who knows more about me than anyone. Its good to talk so good on you.
wishing you all the best
NikkiM xx
