Daily update lovely people. I have just gone a full 24 hours without a fit, clearly my new meds are hopefully working now :)

I have bitten my tongue so many times lately i have been unable to eat solid food for nearly 2 weeks :( but for the first time i have just eaten a sandwhich, living of puree and liquids has been hell.

Just eating a simple spread sandwhich feels so bloody good. Hopefully in a few days my tongue won't be so swollen and i will be able to eat a proper meal. :D

Good, news, Laurie :-). I hope you're able to eat something substantial again in a few days :hug:s

Mr Laurie you are such a kind, caring, loveable person. You have so many people here, who adore you and I am one. You have so many people here who want to support you. But that's because you support us in our time of need. It doesn't matter where you are, home hospital anywhere. If someone needs you, your there. That says a lot, of the person you are. So thank you for your support and know I'm here to support you as well. Hope you feeling better my friend:)

Well major update for you all, :)

I had a really bad night because of the Alcohol withdrawal and did not sleep a wink. Rather than just rush to the Bottle-Stop at 7 am I waited jittery and clucking until 9 am when I called my Alcohol Care Team and my Doctors.

They are going to expedite medication for alcohol withdrawal and the Doctor has upped my Epilepsy medication and changed my sleep medications for stronger ones.

The Psychiatry team I am under are getting me an Emergency Appointment to see my Doctor ASAP so that he can review my anti-psychotics as at the moment I am on very little and it is starting to cause me problems again. Hopefully what he does will work. Because of my medication tolerances over the last 24 years and the high doses of medications I have had to take in that time, my body is becoming resilient to a lot of the medications I need to take on a daily basis :(

Only issues I have now are the bites through my tongue which are still healing and still making it hard to chew and the constant fear that I will have yet more seizures. On a plus note however I have just weighed myself and I have in fact lost 3.5 UK st - 50 US lbs in weight these past 6 months :)

On a positive note I have also bought both my baby sons their birthday presents and will be wrapping them this afternoon for postage.
