LOL

You see, this site is so often bombarded with spammy offers of various, grhm, medications, that it seems the super-mods have installed an automatic spam-blocker that reduces all those names to, well, "SPAM".

I'm not sure, but perhaps if you posted this in the section devoted to MD, the blockers might let the name of the meds through without the carnage... I'll try the post for you.

If you want to type the name of a drug, which can be important in this section of Mr Fry's adventures, then type the name with a slash or dot in the middle, like pro/zac or zy.ban. I've noticed some drugs names get SPAM or SPAMMY SPAM, others seem OK, like lithium, so always re-read your post to check. You can always edit.

I noticed that f/ag also created SPAMMY SPAM, I supposed because someone thought it nasty regarding gay folk, whereas I just meant ciggie. (Being gay myself I'm hardly likely to be saying something nasty about us).

Pongo's Mum, sorry to hear you are starting a depressive episode - I take it that this is something you have been through before. Are you medicated? Are you in therapy? Always the first two things to consider in my opinion. I do understand your anger - it's best to express it somehow. Hopefully writing about it helped. I'm also a big fan of screaming loudly into my pillow or even biting it. (No rude comments please).

Best,
KSx

i find it helpful to write it all down in a letter form, which gets it all out of your head.
this is the anger of things unsaid, by the time i feel well again, i will be at the spot where i think balls to it, it doesn't matter.

its just being in so much pain, plus unjustified aggro = SHOUTING, then deflation, depression, which i have been SO good at containing lately.

My partner says it because everyone comes to me with their problems,

i think i need to write a letter, just to, i nearly said explain, which to me spells justify, to my plank of a boss. (never explain, never apologise.) who has the sensitivity of a ( i can't think of anything without feeling.)

I do smile, as my partner was so mad at what he had done, rang him up, and said things like health and safety, risk assessment unison.

Just to get me some peace while i'm ill, from his calls and e mails.

thank you everyone

what comes first pain or depression?

i have had an MRI, x-rays, physio therapy. and my back is awful. Its the sciatic nerve, plus this muscle, that keeps clicking is the word i want to use, but its not clicking, spasm i suppose?

The chair at work is hopeless, its unsuitable. The OCC Health Dr came to look at it, described it as crap, promised to write a report, then didn't.

looks like its unison next?

or should i go onto benefits?

Anyone, any thoughts?

Yes, been on serox/at since the year the lottery started. I find it v good for me.

Nitra/zepam at night

Tra/ma/dol for pain these 3 for a year
gabape/tin for the nerve side of the pain
ibup/rofen as a whatucall it? reducing inflamation

I'm afraid.

Plus, oh joy, so many Dr's don't believe in side effects?

What is the matter with these people? Gp's are like the folks who used to believe the world is flat, and anyone else doubting that must be put to death. For inteligent people they are vey stupid.

And that is bourne out by this web site

anyway.
I'm feeling a lot better. But, i am still very angry? This puzzles me?
I'm angry because the original incident that sent me spiralling into despair need not have happened.

its too easy to go around upsetting folks you know, especially if your a complete wanker like my boss. I should get a taser gun.

I found gardening very helpful. I'm not Monty Don, but i get great smiley pleasure from plants

I'm still not back in work.

my gardening doesn't involve a shovel, but its great when you've got pmt!

No i like gloves for that sodding bind weed and nettles, and getting hands stuck in to re pot.
we back onto a mountain, so i share slow worms and adders as well as nettles

Monty Don, and Geoff Hamilton both have/had terrible depression, and it was gardening that brought them back
