    Oh no, @Amberpearl. Is it worth contacting your GP to book an appointment as it seems to be really impacting you.

    The blood thinners made me so ill

    I can't take them

    So I looked up alternatives with no. Side effects you can buy online

    The nurse who prescribed them is on holiday for the next 2 weeks

    Bless you, is there an alternative doctor at your GP you could see @Amberpearl? I'd not recommend purchasing off the internet without checking it over with a professional first as there may be other aspects a GP might be aware of. I hope you're able to get sorted soon. 💛

    Hi @Amberpearl, I agree with @holly-scope - I cannot urge you enough to get advice first, before taking anything, especially blood thinners, off the Internet, and whether homeopathic or not.

    I'd recommend you ringing 111 for advice this weekend, particularly important if you've stopped the medication prescribed for you.

    Take care and stay safe @Amberpearl.

    Good evening all.

    I have had a pleasant day even despite being in a flare up with my fibromyalgia.

    I am sat here sippingbon pink gin and listening to 70's music.

    @luvpink Sorry you're having a flare up. :( Pink gin sounds nice though!

    OK I will get advice

    I'm still taking the beta blocker

    Just not the blood thinner as it made me so ill I couldn't function

    How can I care for my cats if I can't stay awake and in pain

    Hopefully, they'll be able to prescribe a different blood thinner for you @Amberpearl and where you don't get awful side effects and your day to day life is not badly affected.

    I know when i started beta blockers in 2023, my pulse kept going too low (c 50) but it's stable at 60+ mostly now. When it was too low I had no energy whatsoever and even though my dogs are good, they can't look after themselves so I do understand.

    I've never taken blood thinners but whether they're anticoagulants, or anti-platelets, they're important to prevent worsening health conditions.

    I hope you're able to get advice and the medication to help you.

    Side effects of meds are worse than the illness

    I would ring 111 today, especially so you can let them know how you're feeling/symptoms. They can advise responsibly including about possible side effects.

    I’m so sorry to read about everything that's going on with your health, you’ve had a lot to deal with lately I really hope the doctor can sort your meds out so you start to feel better and more comfortable. I think thats great advice you got to ring 111.

    @luvpink

    @Teigr
    Hi how did the wedding go, was it yesterday ?
    My sons is on Thursday I’m actually quite anxious about it, it’s just been in amongst a lot of people, but I’m staying over so at least if things get to much I can go to the room for a breather.

    @Sandy_123
    I hope the grandkids slept well.

    ❤️

    I'm. Going to try yoga too
