    Morning everyone ☺️ any plans for the day?

    Glad that you're not in too much pain today @Schildpad, enjoy your day!

    I know you may not feel like caring for yourself right now @Zippy1983, but we all care about you and wouldn't like to think you were struggling alone. Please don't stop your medication cold turkey even if it feels like you're taking a placebo. It can make things feel much worse to suddenly stop. Maybe you can make the trip to the cinema another time when it feels more manageable. Hope there are some better days ahead for you.

    Hi, another awful and I'm only feel safe here . Compare to my parents. My mum is kept getting worse when I want to set my boundaries. I'm done with my mum and I give up since my mum kept providing me that my mum is never going to change. I'm always frustrated, anger and anxious most of time .

    Today I am telling myself 'you don't need to be strong,' which makes everything look a little less strained… trying to be kind to myself.

    I'm. Feeling downright miserable

    All the meds blood thinners plus the stomach med you have to take wgen on. Blood thinners are giving me severe bleeding and many visits to the bathroom

    I. Rang the gp surgery yesterday, got receptionist, I explained and Sge says she will tell the dr

    In the mean time I. Feel. Very scared and depressed

    Nurse said if you have issues don't stop the meds as your risk of stroke is very high

    Just call us

    I. Did

    So far nobody rang me

    I've had a rectal exam and 2 poop samples.

    All normal

    That tells, me it's the meds

    I hope I haven't offended anyone

    It's just someone complained about what I was saying on here

    I'm. Not wrote anything upsettimg

    I just need support as I have no one

    So I'm. Reluctant to say much re health issues

    Hi Amberpearl, right I'm back with it now, and I'm so sorry about that! Firstly, I'd say I'm very sorry at how you're feeling scared and depressed about it all and it's completely understandable. I am glad that the examination and samples have proved to be normal so that's a very good starting point.

    You may well be right about the medications. I've been on some new meds recently that have caused kidney failure again which is very disappointing so I've stopped them as don't really fancy continuing with organ failure but I'm then symptomatic again and I accept that.

    I'm not suggesting for a second that you stop yours. It may just be that the dose needs adjusting. What I have come to learn over the last year, particularly, is that despite the side effects of some of my medications (some are intolerable for me), it's truly often the case of weighing up those side effects versus the protection they also provide to the point that you may feel comfortable, overall, with that. I personally am more 'comfortable' with protections to my heart, lungs and kidneys, all of which are problematic for me.

    The fear for me is knowing that even the doctors/consultants do not always have the exact right answer all of the time. You are doing the right thing in letting them know.

    Please always free to DM me if you wish to express yourself more freely. Absolutely no judgement here no matter how 'graphic' you are.

    Finally, I have to say that I don't really know what Scope is about. Whoever has complained.... I mean, really …??? What on earth is wrong with 'Scrolling on' if they're not interested/offended.

    Please do continue to post Amberpearl. You are perfectly entitled to express, in whatever way works for you, how you are feeling. For anyone complaining about that I challenge Scope to deal with them in whatever way they see fit. There are clearly some 'rogues', for want of a better word, on here, who've no place in an environment which claims to be inclusive. Scope??

    Well, come on then, that's all i say. I invite anybody who's made a complaint..... step forward/show yourself and who you are. Do not worry. you'll be seen and heard. You'll be heard VERY clearly. You might start to guess that I personally have no truck, whatsoever, with certain ugly traits I personally see on here who don't only display no empathy, but display a taking the **** attitude towards others who are suffering. Those who may be wondering why Bluebell, a highly respected member of the forum left, look to yourself IF you're one of those who lack empathy.
