They are worried because the symptoms are so intermittent and when I got weighed at the surgery yesterday I only weighed 7 stone 12 1bs and by blood pressure was sky high.
Feel like I have the hangover from hell without the benefit of a drink

Now the school have it in writing they might just work with instead of against, and hence she might come home not quite so mental?!?

I live in hope after today!!!

And the "go away I'm not a magic fairy" approach to helping her with her pencil grip can go to h?ll, they have to help her now, the report will say so..... gotcha!

Pingu, you will need to keep close tabs on them and make sure that they are doing what they need to do to help her. I'm not sure how you deal with people - teachers and such who might be a bit defensive when told how to treat a student. So, just a bit of advice from someone who is not the slightest bit diplomatic when it comes to things like that. I would be furious if teachers didn't follow the guidelines set up to help my child but if you see that they are not doing what they have been asked/instructed to do, I would find away to approach them with a "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" kind of attitude. You know, something like, "I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to deal with so many kids, each with their own personality and "quirks" but Tigger really needs you to help her so she can be less stressed in class due to her problems and she will be more relaxed and therefore easier for you to deal with." I don't know that I have worded that as well as I could have, but I'm sure you understand what I mean. I don't know what teachers are like in the UK. Here they are next to preachers - can do no wrong and are treated with the most sucky-up-to attitudes. Like they can do no wrong. Anyway, best of luck with it all. Hopefully they will go along with what they are being asked to and Tigger will find school easier to cope with and not come home like a Tasmanian Divil every day.

Evening all what a dreadful of rain it has been here and still lashing. The acunpnture went very well i just had 15 mins as it was my first time it is very relaxing just takes a few mins to work so next gtime i will go for longer. They wipe your ears with an alcohl based wipe before they put the needles in and a slight sting when it first goes in. I got 3 in right ear 2 in left then relax in the chair till John the guy i saw came back. I had a nice chat with him. I'm no 7 on the list to get a key worker and in to group therapy but i have an appointment for another acunpunture session on may 15th. The only bad thing was the travel by bus and the walk in the rain but i fel relaxed and hopefully sleep well tonight. I treated myself to an Isadora mascara on special offer in the chemist nearby as i needed one big treat lol but i'm broke. Pingu hope all goes well on getting the right help at school for tigger.

Don't get me started on nuns and the may procession the priests with the big houses. Yep same in my day. We had to wear white and someone got chosen to carry the statue tru the school and on to the church singing may is the month of mary and hail holy queen. We told to have a may alter at home but i never did lol tho we had a statue and holy water in the house. I'm no longer a practising catholic but i am christen but i won't go in to that now. Have to say the nuns today seem much more relaxed and nicer at least the few i have met have been and they don't wear full habit now. Anyway enough of that lol. Hello to everyone else and have a good evening. Sorry i can't comment on everyone i just read back quickly. Oh jc i sent you a txt the cd arrived i loved it thank you so much:l

Eating and sleeping is good. Your body needs rest and nourishment. Good for you on sleeping for 12 hours straight. For an insomniac, that is really something.

Oh dear, Mrs. A. I sure hope they can find out what you've got. Obviously it wasn't either the bad Brazilian food or that you ran the race so soon after. It sounds like you've picked up some strange bug. Hopefully the specimen tests will give them some clues as to what you've got.

Hi guys.

Wow, such a lot going on today.

Mrs A, hope you get some answers soon.

Foxy so glad you liked the acupuncture and I hope it helps. We used to offer it at the addiction centre.

Zenners, I think I slept for the first 6 months I was sober, its very tough

Well today I have had some very good news. My hard work has paid off and I have been offered a permanent job where I am. I was on 6 months probation and its a huge relief to have that out the way.

Ok gang. The game is up. Most of ye knew I was not tee total. It in control. Mr Satz found out about my G&Ts when I come home from work . True they are large ones. Saw the bottles. Apparently I need help. Ye know I knew it would happen sooner or later. Kinda glad in a warped way.
