Thank you! Me too... but last night wasn't one of them!!! I went to bed before 9pm, left Husband watching football. Still awake at 10:30pm when he came up. Dropped off, woke up when he had a coughing fit :rolleyes: and then kept wondering if it was time to get up yet. These dark mornings...

I'm hoping it's okay to put this in here... Has anyone got a daylight alarm clock - the ones that simulate the rising sun and wake you up gently? I'm having real trouble this year gauging what time it is when I wake up on a morning - I seem to think it's 7am when it's 1am and 1am when it's...

I SLEPT!!!!! :) Not brilliantly, but certainly not as badly as I have been doing - and I feel 10x better for it this morning. A lot more positive and upbeat. Long may it last :happy:

Hello stranger! Wishing you the best of luck with the new charity - I am so sorry that I haven't become more involved on the FB page, but Husband sometimes looks at my page and I don't really think he'd want to read about himself in that context!!!! Especially not as he sees FB as the spawn...

Free books...? :eek: Sounds like my idea of heaven... :happy: I did mention Kindles to Husband last night - and was actually able to explain the difference between the Kindle and the Kindle Fire - thank you Anthony!!! He pointed out that, as all my books are due to go in to storage on 10th...

I've resisted a Kindle so far - I just love books. I love looking at them on my shelves and have carted so many of them around with me over the years that they are like my old friends. But... reading about the Kindles and knowing a few people now who have them I have to say I could be tempted!!!

Really? Well - there's hope for me yet!!!! :roflmao:

Hello Wife Wanting to Help - if you look a bit further up the main Board there is a section for the Supporters of those with PTSD. Come along and say hello in there - you will find that there is so much support for us Supporters from Supporters. I am glad that your husband is now receiving help x

Really glad you got your appointment and I hope you get to the bottom of it too. I had a bit of a breakthrough last night in that I finally managed to persuade Husband to take my pulse for me - I didn't have a pain in my chest, so much as I was just so aware of what my heart was doing - and it...

Hope you got your appointment and that everything is okay. My ECG and blood tests didn't show anything specific so I'm now on the waiting list for a 24 hour ECG and have strict instructions to go to A&E if I get breathless or have pain with it!

Oh Mr Smith - I am so sorry. I cannot offer you any advice as it sounds as if we are in different countries but I agree with Bilby - you need to speak to the police and let them know exactly what has been going on and why. I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but she could be in the best place at...

Thank you - I'm sure it will be fine, I'm just not good at waiting!!! The Nurse took blood at the same time to check Thyroid and a few other things that I can't remember. I was quite surprised that they'd be back by Thursday - I was expecting a whole week's wait. I don't drink Green Tea as...

Well, I had my ECG done yesterday and go back on Thursday to pick up the results. Husband was surprised that they didn't tell me there and then because when he had his done they gave him the all-clear on the spot... which makes me wonder if there was a "blip" or something - but no point...

I have a bit of a personal theory about this, and that is that the more they can keep occupied with others' issues and problems that are not their own then the happier they are. The thing is, I'm not sure how far the scale can be tipped (so to speak) in someone else's direction before it all...

Thank you guys :inlove: I have an appointment for an ECG and blood tests on Monday and if that does not provide an answer then it's a 24 hour heart monitor to see what is going on. I have to say the Doctor was great - I was a bit doubtful about going, but she took it seriously and was very...

Thank you Amethist - I actually had to look up what an ECG was :laugh: Oh well - that'll be a nice way to spend the afternoon. I also have to try to check my pulse when it's happening to see if it is fast, irregular or any other variation. I'm hopeless at finding my own pulse, but she showed me...

Well, I finally went to the Doctor this morning and she was lovely - I'm booked in for an ECG on Monday afternoon as well as blood tests for things like Thyroid disorders and... early menopause - again!!! I'm glad that I went because she was a lot more understanding than I thought - she is...

Hi Discarded - if your son wrote such an honest letter to you then perhaps you could write one to him? Tell him that you would like to support him and how proud of him you are, but I personally I would keep your other fears to yourself for now. He will have seen how his father behaves and will...

Well, having woken up in a sweat in the night, feeling as if something was sat on my chest and retching at the thought of attempting to swallow my normal medication this morning I have made myself a doctor's appointment. 8:30am tomorrow morning and she is nice too. Not entirely sure what she can...

Received - thank you!

Sent last week - sorry - missed this bit!

Thank you - I have some Geranium so will pop some on my pillow tonight. I will try to find some of the others in town tomorrow. And yes, I think I will be going to the doctors... got the dog in day care tomorrow and Friday so I should have a bit of spare time. I will go to one with a good...

Thank you both - it was a horrible feeling. It happened again in the night, I woke up and everything was running through my head and it was as if I could breathe in but not breathe out again so my chest just got more and more inflated but I was struggling to get more air in to breathe. It was a...

I got mine!!!!!!!! Just what I needed to cheer me up.... not that I've peeped or anything :p

Erm, I've just had a funny do and I'm not sure if it was the onset of a panic attack or not...? I've had palpitations for a while, combined with shaking hands. This time though I also felt queasy and very dizzy as though I was going to pass out. I also felt a swelling in my chest as if it...
