Hey guys!
Katie: I've had depression and anxiety since I was in my teens. Spent over 7 years being unable to work down to it as well. It was awful, it even got to the point where I couldn't leave the house alone. It is much better now in some ways but worse in others, especially the night anxiety stuff. But I know some of that will be fueled by the cortisol because it's natural cycle means it's higher in the evening
I'm now on two anti-depressants a day, 1 or 2 amitrityline for anxiety and pain (I'm allowed to go up to 3), and also the sleeping pills I take. Should be enough to knock anyone out, but they don't
I'm really struggling with this at the moment but it doesn't really seem like there's anything anyone can actually do! Or it doesn't feel like it.
I'm glad you understand what I'm going on about anyway
Sophie: If I were to have diabetes insipidus I would take a pill that controls the hormone that makes you thirsty and regulates your kidneys. So I would basically stop feeling as thirsty and feeling the need to pee so much. I'm not sure if there are any "dangers" of it being untreated. It can come from two sources too, your brain or your kidneys, so depends which type I could potentially have. From what I've read my brain scans should have shown up this if it had been in my brain. But maybe they weren't actually looking for that. I dunno. It is very, very unlikely tho. This really is a rare illness! It's one that every Dr (and vet!) wants to diagnose.... But yeah, not entirely sure it would be absolutely life changing to get that diagnosis!
Patty: The Dr has ordered the test now and has asked to see me again in 4 months. But I'm only to keep that appointment if I've already had the test. If not he doesn't want to see me until it's done. So wont have a chance to come to an agreement with him. I guess I either have it done or I don't
Doing the house stuff after work did take some monumental effort. And it absolutely drained me! Also hurt my wrist and my arm and my back.... Honestly, it's like I'm falling apart lol. Had to ask John to open a bottle for me last night! I'm the designated "difficult thing to open" opener in this house
*blush*
And then I really hurt my arms clearing the ridiculous amount of crap off the coffee table and stuff.
I know. Annoyed I missed going out with Michelle. Hopefully we'll do a cinema trip this weekend. Maybe even a double bill
Doing nothing today hasn't worked out. Does it ever?! Lol. I wanted to make sure everywhere was nice for mum coming home so I've hoovered the kitchen, living room, hall, and Rachelle's room. I've tidied up the hall a bit and put some stuff away. And tidied the kitchen a little. I hate clutter, I really do! But we seem to accumulate a LOT of it and no one else seems to really care. It drives me nuts
Anyway, it's done now and I'll go get a shower in a bit. Managed to hurt my ribs hoovering as well. Wtf?!
Rachelle has kindly made us a curry for tea. John's out with his Dad and Mum wont be home till late tonight. So she's made us a Quorn curry
It's got veg and potatoes and stuff in, but she did use a jar of sauce. So mega syns!! And I think we have naan bread too
In preparation I've just had Weetabix, banana, maple syrup, and Koko milk. And a yogurt with a little portion of red grapes and raspberries. So 1 HexB, part HexA, and 1 syn
Tomorrow is NOT going to be SW friendly either. It's Mum's birthday so we're going to do a little afternoon tea type lunch when me and Rachelle get back from work. And we're off out to the Brazilian place for tea as well. Bit on and off this week but hopefully the good days and meals will help.
Right, shower time. xx
