Half the time the medics make things worse.
Some psyches I have seen won't listen to me. They resent the fact that I am intelligent with a medical background and know more about BPD than they do. So they treat me like sh!t out of spite. I am on carbemazepine and they said they wouldn't continue to give it to me even though it is the only thing that helps unless I take an antidepressant. (In the past they have had no benefit at all) So now I am on 300mg venlafaxine a day and if I miss a dose I get hideous side effects. s But they won't listen to me as I am *only* the patient
Wumbie - I have been warned about you!!
I'll be there!

Mort -
The sad fact is that doctors follow trends. Nowadays they had out drugs like sweeties. One of my friends, who has been on antidepressants before, went back on them again recently and I told him that I thought it was a bad idea and I'm a little worried. I agree that doctors do seem to "resent" some patients. People forget they are human and prone to human weaknesses.
Some doctors are great though. I've heard of some at our hospital who are popular with their patients and well-liked. It's good to know people like that are out there.
I'll be there!
Mister Matty Posted Feb 26, 2004
Well, I think I'll head to bed
Mort, it's been theraputic talking to you . Nice to be reminded other people understand the weirdness some of us have had to live with.
And I'll apologise again to the thread for my comments earlier, I really should trust people more . And I'll stick to that promise about buying you all a drink at some point. Probably.
Nighty night
I'll be there!

yes, Fords seemed to think that about Wumbie too!
But no-one will tell me why!
I'll be there!

Mort
I'll be there!
Wumbeevil Posted Feb 26, 2004
Good idea Mr Zed
You've been warned about me? And you're still attending
*puts on Graham Chapman voice*
You're a looney.
I'll be there!
Wumbeevil Posted Feb 26, 2004
Dunno, I consider myself as two perfectly adjusted individuals who just happen to have a penchant for photographing pub toilets. Well there's also the inflatable sex-pig, but I won't go into that - gonzo stole her heart
I'll be there!
Mort - a middle aged Girl Interrupted Posted Feb 26, 2004
I heard about the toilet incident - but I sense a fear amongst the SRG that goes deeper than that! You can't be that bad can you?!
I'll be there!
Mort - a middle aged Girl Interrupted Posted Feb 26, 2004
I don't think it is in the 'plan' but you know what the SRG is like for making plans...
I'll be there!
Wumbeevil Posted Feb 26, 2004
Plan? Two days to go and someone has finalised a plan? Don't you think that's a bit premature?
*looks around furtively*
Oh good no one here
*pulls out a chainsaw and starts trimming his toenails*
*turns off chainsaw*
Hey Mort, I thought of something good to say about me.
I'm not a lorry driver or a doctor.
I'll be there!

wow!
all I did was go to the cinema and catch up on some sleep, and I come back to this lot.
so, to go (briefly) back to first principles: how *exactly* do I find this here pub? I have a hazy idea, but hazy ideas probably make finding you lot harder...
I'll be there!
Swiv (decrepit postgrad) Posted Feb 26, 2004
The one in which we're originally meeting at some point. The Standing Order I b'lieve.
I'll be there!

I'll be there!
