just experienced a sharp pain on the right side of my head , hope i dont have this for long tonight , hubby will not understand the mood hes in.
try to massage yourself by using your Thumb
Gently massage the back of your neck working slowly up to the base of your skull .Then put yor first finger and second finger of both hands and gradually massage your forehead.Have you any ice packs or a bag of pease handy .That works best for me .Cover in a cloth ie tea towel and hold on head ,neck wherever pain is .This hopefully will help .Also remember to relax and float Carol
ohhhhh carole i wish you were here to talk to, i dont know what to do with myself i feel so alone at the moment, i thinks its the preds talking
i think yesterday i had a lot of stress as well with the washing machine, going for my bloods today and then do a bit of shopping might call at the bingo even, i just feel so alone, but i know we all do maybe just feeling sorry for me, poor john had a bad day monday not good news about his eyes, so he is stressed out as well hugs to you
Margeret you must not TRY to stop worrying .Accept you , like a lot of other people are going to be concerned about what is going to happen next .I can be the worlds worst at (what ifs , and what only ) and I know from experience , stressing and waiting for the next thing to happen doesnt help .
I know how easy it is to say ( let your mind accept how your feeling at the moment ) But remember to float . Shrug and say to your self that you will accept these feelingd right them down and tell your doctor everything when you next see her . Also tell her you are not getting support at home . I have been there , but when my husband was told what I was going through he had some understanding , and was a BIT more sympathetic .
Try Amazon for Claire Weekes. Self help for your nerves . It will give you coping strategies. A side effect of the pred is anxiousness .So you must tell your doctor next time you her . Don't fight it float . Hope you don't think I am talking rubbish .you will feel better. Take care , do some craft work ,you said that was good for you , I know it helps me switch of a bit .I know it's a long way to send them but there are a lot of calm wishes coming yor way Carol💐
Have replied but moderator is looking at it again . Try to accept how you are and float it away To be tense makes things worse . Side affect of tabs can be anxiousness , tell your doctor .
Hopefully you will get my message later . There is a lot of love and personal understanding going to you from this forum 💐💐Carol
Did you give a link to something Carol? You can send links by pm - click on the envelope by Margaret's avatar on every post of hers. They aren't moderated in the same way.
The good news is that the moderator is back but the bad news is he's snowed under with catching up.
Thanks Eilleen will do .
Oh carol thank you , you always seem to help me i am reading the book, but it is not the one i wanted as they did not have it so i am trying to find it will go on amazon.
Margaret. I just wanted to reply to you, as not only are you coping with PMR, you don't appear to have support from your family. That can only make it so much harder. I'm really sorry, we need our families behind us, even if they don't understand exactly how we feel. My hubby is very supportive, thank goodness, but he still doesn't understand the full picture and of course hasn't read up on all that I have.
Keep posting, you have friends here. We are here for each other. Xc
thank you Susanne, it makes me feel better to be able to talk to people in the same situation, my hubby is very good, but just seems not to want to ta;lk about pmr , but as i said im hoping his friend might get to him, lets hope so.
