Well Done Mandz

I've just read this post from start to finish. Very inspiring - well done.

You've given me the push I need to increase my AD's whilst I get HRT under my belt.

Good luck

Hi all, well that's week 2 of back to work completed.....

It's been good to feel me again, but the first week my back and neck ached soooo badly.....I've put it down to weeks of sitting or lying about while off work and bod,y going into shock having to work again lol 
But this week it's my lower back and tops of thighs
My lower back is aching constantly and my thighs keep getting twinges, I don't want to go to doc as I've practically lived there the past few months  Mind you I've been putting on "deep freeze" and getting some relief from that.......

Other than that, I'm starting to feel I'm getting a life again.......although I've not managed any nights out, but hey, content with things just now xxx

I imagine it's all muscular as I experience the same when I am doing more. I do have arthritis in my neck and shoulders though and I'm sure I have some wear and tear to my discs in my spine as I often get lower back pain and pain in thighs when I am doing more. Often it is referred pain. Thigh pain is normally referred pain from the knees.

They do say it's best to keep moving rather than resting. I take ibupofren which seems to help.

Glad to hear you are feeling better in yourself though.

Thanks half pint, I can cope with it rather than how I was not to long ago

Today I'm sitting in my cabin with log fire on and flurries of snow keep threatening YUK!!!!!

[Halfpint]

Your cabin sounds lovely...it's bright here but deceiving as it's not warm!

[Mandz]

The cabin makes me feel like I'm on holiday, my hubby built it and put in a log burner, a bar( fully stocked) a juke box, a coffee machine ....everything but a loo lol

Sounds very grand and like I'm bragging...it's not ....its just lovely and peaceful, homely and It was something we always wanted- it was completed just before xmas so it's still a novelty xx

Porta-potty?

[Halfpint]

It sounds wonderful. I'm going to ask my husband to build us one!

[Mandz]

I wanted a summer house which we decided would end up being a glorified shed and decided that a cabin would be better as we could use it all year, and if friends come over we can go in there rather than wet shoes n cups etc lying about the house

Xxx

I gave DH one for his Big Birthday a few years ago.  It gets the afternoon sunshine so we can sit there watching the wild birds on the feeders.

[Mandz]

Cheezel, I've replied to your thread

It's a horrible feeling struggling to get out of your bed ..... I always feel calmer by evening, probably because I know I'll be going back to my bed xxx

[Mandz]

Well that's me completed my fourth week at work

Had a few blips, emotional, but I'm surviving!

At least I'm managing to do some shopping myself although they are generally quick ones and I've met friends at different times for quick catch ups ....

I'm still plodding away

[Lizab]

Good job, Mandz! I think you should celebrate! Treat yourself. A salon treatment, ice cream, a television binge, anything to give yourself a nice little reward!

[Justjules]

Well done Mandz! Haven't seen you around so wondered how you were..... x
