Quite agree - can’t get into my blogs at the moment but the comments on mine do make me laugh!

Some people are so sad aren’t they?

Thanks for that Skip - I’ll certainly be taking your advice when hubby’s BR is over with. I don’t know how we would have coped if we didn’t have your advice to follow! Thank you xx

Hi Skippy…this is very helpful…you would think that all the stress of the process of BR and IVA that this would be an easier thing to do…I will keep this for reference for our own clean up in a couple of years time……thanks for letting us share your knowledge and expereince

Oh Skippy…..so many people seem to be in this situation…Life is becoming increasingly unsafe financially…..I hope the 7% cut is the only thing you have to cope with….as you say 93% of your pay is better than nothing…Take care…..

Skippy - your latest blog has touched me. I know exactly how you feel - I too have a very independant mother who is excellent when everyone else needs help and support,but a lousy patient herself !
The fact you are there to support her and be with her when she needs help is excellent - hopefully the doctors will be able to give her something to help with the pain etc - personally having had two friends die suddenly through viral infections in the last month, I would take your mother to A&E if it doesn’t get any better and maybe they will admit her into hospital where they could give her pain relief of a different kind and help resolve the problem.
Best wishes and hope things resolve themselves !

Tracey, ask your mum to ask her GP about Fibromyalgia. My mum has that and your mums symptoms sound very similar.
Also have them check her thyroid levels.
The negative attitude from her will be just because shes feeling down. I get that after a few days of really bad pain.
It’s hard to battle something you have absolutely no controll over and it really can get you down at times. I have realproblems sleeping some nights because my body seazes up and the pain gets unbearable. I even have a memory foam thing on my bed and even that doesnt help.
Your mum sounds like a real strong lady and im pretty sure once the pain is under controll her whole attitude will change.

I know its hard but try not to worry too much. You know where i am if you need to talk xxxxxx

oh skippy..i am so sorry to hear about your mum….it is so tough….as both my parents died decades ago i cant imagine how tough it is…..
several of my friends also have elderly and ill parents and it is so hard knowing how to help or what to do
independence is also a real generational thing so many people in their 70s and 80s are not used to having things done for them….

thinking of you…and praying…take care….
