Hi Albus Scope

Thank you very much for writing to me , im feeling anxious im having stomach cramps even if i try to calm down the anxiety is stronger and im house bound , im worried about benefits i would like to give them up but im unable to work , its my mistake because i should have cared more about my health earlier and not worked beyond my strength and be a perfectionist , i was born in Poland and came to England to work and i worked hard here and i relied on myself and my work here , i had a goal and i also wanted to help people

Please take care

Kind regards to everyone on this forum

I am not too bad thanks @eeL I had a blood test this morning at the hospital. Fingers crossed the results are good.

Hi Strawberry

Please take care of yourself ♥️

Thank you very much

Hi eeL

Thank you very much for asking

im sorry not well today

Please take care of yourself ♥️

Agnia

Thank you so very very much eeL ♥️🌷🌸❤️🌼 and for writing about yourself ♥️🌺

i would like to add here please that perfectionism is a feature that makes life very difficult, when i went to primary school the teacher hit children on the hands when they wrote poorly and i had a very high bar at school, if i can be honest im not proud of myself i got sick and im afraid for my future, i have experienced competition at school from an early age , many people complete higher education in Poland even in two fields and was still difficult for them to find a good job

Kind regards to you ♥️

Glad you got a nice nurse @Nightcity 😊 I always try and treat everyone as individuals, so even if a company has been horrible to me, I know the person I'm speaking to on the phone isn't the cause of my woes.

Hi @eeL I have a large hiatus hernia and have bad acid reflux, since last July when I had my gall bladder out I also now have bile reflux as well and a cough. This means I have to take large doses of Proton pump inhibitors which unfortunately are now starting to affect my sodium and magnesium levels. My life style cannot be changed any further as I do not drink, smoke nor am I overweight (underweight if anything) also do not eat fried or spicy food or drink coffee any more. Just tea but Consultant has said I need to try decaf tea. I only have low fat cheese and I am very careful what I eat as also have Ulcerative colitis. I also have routine Liver function blood tests as this was affected by a blocked bile duct and the gall bladder. This has to be monitored blocked bile duct can happen again.

I am not feeling too bad thanks just get very tired. I agree we are better off knowing so can be sorted sooner.

Thank you for asking. I am sorry your day has not been the best, Take care.

I miss vikki and I'm wondering how she's coping without this space to offload and engage with her friends.

It must be possible to return under a new user name, in time. I don't use other social media and would feel very isolated without this forum.
