h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Saw a new consultant today... hasn't made any changes to my meds yet, waiting on blood tests.
I don't know how much I trust him yet, not being one for taking people on first impressions but I can say that I prefer him to my old consultant... The approach and attitude is very different...

Yesterday my GP declared me unfit for trial due to my suicidal ideaisation

I've e mailed Stephanie... the upshot is that I want to move us into very close friends rarther than somethinng more because I've been doing alot of thiking about what it's fair to ask of a girl... and she is only a girl, she is 16

Tomorrow I go to TC&SU!!!!!!!

Sounds like you might have found one of those rare animals...; A decent Hopefully he's more helpful than some of the others you've been dealing with And good news with the GP preventing you having to go through the ordeal of the court thing

Tis good news indeed, though if I start to get better, I then have to go to court which is not cool...

looks like things are going to star going right for you at last.

I thik you're alittle more optimistic than myself...

May be..
But may be its because i can see it in a different handle to yourself.

Glad to hear that you don't have the trial hanging over you now

Have fun this weekend!

The trial is still hanging over me though... It's postponed not gone!
However I won't be letting it hang over me this weekend!

Good for you and try as hard as it is to stay possative..

I take it you are ok with blood tests? I hate them and wondered how i could overcome this ... is it really meant to hurt?

I used* to hate injections, blood tests etc... A year, on and off in hospital, and for most of the time I still did* hate them, really* really* hate them....
the last time I had to have an injection; two blood samples (why two?), and an injection of a 'contrast' agent to allow the scan to get better results, I didn't mind, I couldn't believe it, but i really* just didn't feel them anymore, well, obviously I could* feel it, but it just wasn't painful anymore

so what you are trying to say is that it takes loads of injections etc until you don't worry or feel pain anymore

I don't like needles [who does?] so I look away as it goes in, but I like watching the blood fill the vile... A blood test shoudn't *hurt* but yes you should expect to be able to feel it...

I'm OK with them, as long as I don't watch them go in. Likely it's because I donated palsma for awhile, so I was getting stuck twice a week. Bit harder when the needle's going into Faith though...

so how comes it hurts me then?

Lower pain threshold?

Either they aren't doing it right or you have a very low pain threshold...

I think I have a low pain threshold ... perhaps the nurse did it wrong though cos if i remember rightly she had difficulty trying to find the place where i was meant to be injected... other injections in my shoulders haven't hurt much

Ah well there you go...
