Ann, you are being thoroughly tested at present, both physically and emotionally. It is so unfair that no matter how well versed one is (as you are) bottom line is that ' nothing works all of the time for all of the people '. A few words, the meaning of which, have brought most of us to the edge of ...

Compared to other members on this site I know very very little about the pharmaceutical medications, in particular the opiates, apart from what I have used myself which is requip and tramadol. But I know plenty about the symptoms, the distress and the non pharm stuff. And even considering how little...

There we are..... Christmas is over for another year. Yesterday we all went to eldest son for Christmas dinner, and this evening we had everyone for a buffet party, arriving at around 5pm and the last one has just gone. We had 15 plus 4 kiddies who were still going strong at midnight. A lot of prepa...

Sleuth, things are so awful for you at present, and I send best wishes. I agree that you should email Dr B. He has also always responded to me really quickly. I may be way off beam here, but if your psychiatrist can prescribe medications for you, is it possible to work with the psych using the Mayo ...

I suppose its also all about defining 'relaxation'. Yes, you need to be relaxed psychologically to find sleep, its difficult when there are worries that won't go away, and hard to set them to the side whilst seeking sleep. As for physical relaxation... there is no way that I can just relax on the co...

Glad you got some relief. I also have used water tho I prefer to have it icy cold on my legs. Sometimes the shower, sometimes a big bucket of really cold water, feet it, and splash up as far as you can. It works for me. Thankfully not needed recently as my meds are helping. But as a non-med its pret...

On a slightly different track - One of our favourites is a cryptic crossword. Lift it up, put it down, go back on it. Like it challenging, but don't want it so difficult that there is no chance whatsoever of completing it, there has to always be the possibility of solving it. I recall many years ago...
