@GLOJO1 Oh Glo ,I do understand how you are feeling, I'm in a similar place, I need new knees and hips but like you I have been told they wouldn't recommend I have surgery, I'd probably get through it with spinal block but it's after the surgery that's the biggest problem I've had one stroke

I've only been married for 7 years my husband has never seen me well, I know you don't want to keep moaning or complaining so you keep it inside and try to put on a brave face

You can always write to me and have a good old whinge and whine any time you want I really won't mind

Take it easy Sonia (Maggie - Mae )

@Eddyyy I am so fed up being tired all the time yet when I get to bed I can't sleep even if I've fought and won to stay awake during the day, you would think I would be asleep straight away but no, never ever before 2am+ then it's an on and off sleep! Grrrrr!

Wouldn't it be great if we could get rid of all our health issues, medication and symptoms!

How glorious life would be, or would it???

Over the last few years either through my own stupidity of rebelling (against who I don't know) or have been let down with new script arrival, I've not taken different meds for a few days and each time I've paid a heavy price. It has certainly shown me I do need them and I possibly wouldn't be here if I didn't take them.

I have so many illnesses that they all cause me to worry especially my breast cancer but at the moment my emphysema is causing me to worry more everyday I feel tired and in pain I have gone through so much just lately I just wish my health would improve but ahh well I'm sure there is someone worse off than me lots of love tiggs yesterday was our 18th wedding anniversary and we had a lovely day my husband bought me a beautiful handbag and he took me for a lovely meal at our fab restaurant as they serve gluten free food they are called poppy's and they are in skegness so if you ever come to skeggy I can thoroughly recommend it as the lady in there is also a coeliac like myself and they are all lovely
