How is your day going?

I'm sorry to hear that, disappointing, and hope they can sort it out for you soon @Amberpearl. I hope all your lovely cats are doing ok.

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??

Morning .. I need to go out . Weather is not great but it is a long day to stay at home all day... I am as usual very anxious but it eases in the afternoon a bit.. hope you are all ok. Not too anxious or in pain or not too down....

Made my point.

Back from the dentist

I'm. Numb

Msybe is I reduce my food intake I won't need the bathroom as much and not bleed?

I am always here if you wish to chat.

Heavy rain, doubt i will manage to get Gus out tonight. It wouldn't be a good idea to take a scooter out in a downpour.
