Feckin Useless Doctors

Good news Dilli hope it works for you mate, just don't start licking your balls when you have family round

 

Progress at last Dilli maybe there is a silver lining in thsi one I hope.

Just did a quick google seems Gabapentin is used for Epilepsy Dilli.
Its main side effect is a raging thirst for Alcohol but they recommend you don't drink!!
So its gonna have to be virtual drinking from now on just like this years freshhers are doing

Hey, dilli, I'm running behind on forum news and have been catching up this weekend. But have been wondering whether you'd gotten MRI results back yet so I was happy to see this post and know that you FINALLY know what the heck is causing you all the pain you've been in for so long. I'm really sorry that it's serious problem but very glad that you found the source and can treat it accordingly. And also STOP what isn't working. Geez, after your and my physio experiences this year along with a number of other forum members who had bad experiences, too, I'm not likely to trust that group of professionals very readily anymore.

I will keep prayers going and fingers (and toes) crossed that the new--and correctly targeted--physio exercises along with the Gabapentin give you relief and set you on the road to healing. Please keep us posted. I'm eager to see you aboard that new Tiger of yours!

 

Tha couldn't make it up.................

 

Right Dilli, I'll do the fecking injections for ya son as it's Jack Daniels day it would be rude not to share a bottle or two with you before I do the injections though mate.

 

they are dragging it out Dilli, the same with my wife here's hoping you get it sorted soon, now get the JD down ya

 

Who's Dr Billy lookin at, me or thee???

 

That's before I have any JD!

But don't worry Dilli I hate needles so my eyes will be shut when I actually do the injection

 

T'other week my missus had just about had enough pain in her shoulder so she rang her doctors and asked for an injection and got it. Mind you she does have a track record of having injections in joints but this was the first in her shoulder. Might be worth a phone call on Monday.

 

I'd still phone your GP's surgery Monday, tell them where you're at and ask if you can have an injection. They can only say no.

 

YOU speak English Dilli???

 

Yeah, ya bad speakin b@stard, Dilly.....................

 

my dad is currently in hospital following a massive stroke. Three days ago they suggested stopping giving him food and fluids and letting him die. He is not ready to stop fighting yet, and we told than that while he wants to try to recover they will damn well give him care. Basically they were trying to get us to agree to the ‘Liverpool Care Pathway’ (sedate them and let them die by withdrawing food and water)
This morning he had shuffled himself upright in his bed and was lifting his left arm and leg a little, and was writing in his board that he wanted a crap and a cigarette.
The NHS are the best healthcare in the world - according to the NHS.
I am looking at breaking him out to get him outside for a ciggy as soon as possible! It’ll give him the strength and motivation to fight through it. his morale took a boost when I smuggled in a tiny bit of his favourite wine to wet his lips with (he can’t swallow at the moment, so he couldn’t drink any, but he can still have the taste of it!).
