CD,

I'm glad to hear that I was able to make you feel a bit better, you deserve to feel on top of the world.

That's great that you ran into your friend! And good for her too, as she got to pick out a great present

Not only are you a great mom, but you are a wonderful friend as well.

Hopefully you were able to get something else into your belly, although some homemade potato salad sounds delicious!

Oh thank-you for those lovely kind words Breanne , its suprising how much better you feel when you hear them . Because i do feel a lously mum atm and in a selfish way the weather is on myside !

I will try and drink more water that is my downfall i dont drink hardly enough , relying on coffee which i know is bad for you but it does fill me up a a little bit . I have just eaten a small amount of homemade potatoe salad and that hasnt started me off so might try something else better in an hour or so fingers crossed .

Oh i dont know if i mentioned yesterday i bumped into my friend who moved in the DIY store . It was so nice to see her again . Plus it was handy because i was there getting her a moving in present lol so she got to pick something she wanted under duress ! She invited us to her new place next weekend , if im up to it pain wise anxiety wise i will be there by hook or by crook .

CD,

It must be awful to feel so sick and down. If you are unable to eat, try drinking some water or juice, so you at least have something in your stomach. On a positive note, you are such a great mom! That is so good of you to have taken the kids to the beach, even though you weren't feeling well.

I hope you feel better soon,

Hello Miki and Breanne , ta for your reply . Unfortuntely i dont think i need a second opinion after last . The pain was awful and yes its on the wrong side but a friend said to me that could be something called deferred pain . I just cant eat still sets it off something cronic and have lost yet more weight .

Last night at 1am i had my worst PA to date . I knew it was coming and fought it for hours with the breathing thing but just couldnt do it . I shook like ive never done before , i literally had to hold my jaw as my teeth were banging the heck out of each other . Lucky enough i still have a few dizapam so took one , thank god it stopped me shaking cos that really hurt my side even more .

Im feeling so sick , light headed and damn right down now . Chest pains back damn damn damn . I tried half a banana today and was nearly sick on that .

Still managed to take kids to beach today , hated every second of it and wanted to get home but the sun was out so they needed to get out . Its an awful summer here , now its raining again so im glad they got out .

CD,

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling too well. I agree with Miki, in that if you are feeling uncomfortable with your doctor, you should try and get a second opinion. It might be a good idea, as it might put your mind more at ease. I also agree that you have done such a great job dealing with everything that has come your way. Stay strong, if possible try to make an appointment with another physician, and let us know how it goes. We're here for you, and our thoughts are with you

Hello Cornish Dee,

I'm glad you are back. I'm sorry to hear that you have to get an operation. I would be terrified too, just that I've had one done long ago before I had anxiety and it was quite easy. You can do it! But since you mention that you are worried if it's really gallstone, maybe you can get a second opinion by another doctor somehow? Have you researched and looked it up? All in all, I admire your courage and how you are handling everything at the moment. You've done such a great job at handling everything.

Sorry havnt been here for you guys last two days but things are happening fast to me at the mo .

I got a letter saturday to make an appointment for my operation , ooooo thats not a good thing for someone with anxiety to do . Book and make the appointment theirself i mean ! Well it hit me opening the letter that it was actually real , oooo axiety came back big time but fought it with everything i had which wasnt alot lol .

Monday i take my daughter to the asthma nurse and got clobbered by the recepionist . The doctor wants to see you but he's on holiday can you come in the morning and see another one

, was exatly how i must have looked ! Its ok they said its only about your medication ( my anti depressants) . Phew !

Went in the morning , hmmmmm . Doc asked me if the meds are working , how are they making me feel . I dunno ! In too much discomfort to notice i said , didnt go down well did that lol .

Anyway only had to see them because computer took me off repeat prescription so back on it again . That was tuesday .

Well later on i began getting really uncomfortable , no thats doctors terms . I was hurting , and big time now . It is making it so hard to breathe , it hurts if i eat and not just dairy stuff anything sets it off . The whole of my upper abdomen is so swollen(well thats how it feels dont know if it actually looks it ) thats why i find it hard to breathe . Months before this i thought it was a sympton of anxiety now i know its due to the gallstone . But now the pain is setting the anxiety off last two nights had attacks

Now i still go out everyday to the shops with the children but i cant manage very long at all .

Ok this might sound silly but i am doubting myself / the man who gave me the scan . Because most of my pain is the WRONG side of my gall bladder , yes its uncomfortable gall bladder side but the other is so bad . Im worried they got it wrong because i ate before my scan remember i said that . Oh its that nagging doubt all the time .

I did make the appointment and nearly fainted ! Thought it would be after christmas with waiting lists like they are but no its 11th SEPTEMBER arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh omg thats so soon .

Well ive got everyone down now so will say sorry about that , i just hope my symptons ease cos i dont think i can handle this much longer . Trying to keep it together for kids sake

Ooo gone tearful so am off , i have been reading posts when i was awol just couldnt post myself to you . I will try better .

Love to all CD x
