Ladies I have been reading too many detective novels! Anyone who has read my comments on this thread will know that every fourth or fifth night I can't sleep a wink but today I have been drowsing since 3pm. I got myself in a tizz because I had a blood test this morning and the phlebotomist told me she had only been doing the job for 6 months. she had been a secretary all her working life and when her husband died at the start of the year she fancied a career change. I have convinced myself she poisoned me rather than just took blood as I only watched one syringe fill. I have never felt so tired and I have had awful nightmares!! 

I know this sounds odd but I feel unnaturally dizzy and tired.

Owww Mag123,

You sort of know you are overthinking to have included the sentence about reading too many detective novels.

Our mind is a terrible place and you give it an 'inch' with some doom and gloom and it will take a 'mile' before you know it.  I believe the mind does this so that when reality steps forward it 'isn't as bad as we made our self believe'.

I think this is the same as with phlebotomist as opened up to you about her life and the career change and your mind as jumped in to with a reason why you feel this way.

I won't say the phlebotomist hasn't poisoned you - however, I think there will be a lot more reasons why you feel dizzy and tired.....

It could be from the stress of going for blood test.

In the passed few days have you started on to any new medication that could have these side effects.

One tablet that I have heard about is called 'amitriptyline' taken at night time, this can cause dizziness and terrible nightmares - that actually 'feel real, that you find hard to know if real or not'.

I think, if you can 'try to relax' - tell yourself it is your mind over reacting and as hard as you can try and get some sleep.....

Try hard not to worry about this, the reason I say it, the more you think about it - the worse you will feel....... 

See what tomorrow brings and make sure your are eating plenty and drinking fluids.

We are all here for you and are looking out for you now too - sending big love and hugs xxxx

Cheers for the Sleepy Fairy Dust moomy - I think I must have swallowed a whole bottle of this - I really could sleep for the country and win medals for us ..... I reckon I'd be in 1st place.

Wishing everyone a restful nights sleep and a happy weekend.

Nighty Night Fruit Loops and Nighty Night Lucky Pants - I bet he's tired with all his traveling - mind you it is great to read of his adventures and his love of food, bless him xxx

Oww Santababy - sending you a great big - gentle hug.  

You ask if you are wrong declining - deep down only you can decide.  We can all put our thoughts across for you to consider - but you have to be the person to decide.   My thoughts are.... if it turned out as your saying, then you will already be thinking about this - but what if it was as you said and they could give you treatment or better still what if you had the internal scan and all was okay - would it ease your mind......

Now I sit here typing this - yet I am behind with my mammogram and am desperately trying to push myself to book appointment - the longer it goes on the more stress I create myself and the more worry I create - when in the bigger picture 'just go and get it done' and go from there - but we get scared and as I have just said 'our minds take us on wild and weird thought journeys' - my answer is, I don't know..... however, if you change your mind, I am sure they will fit you in (although there is some new policy coming out - not sure fully how it will work, but along the lines of 'if you fail to turn up to 2 appointments / treatments - they will take you off the list'.  

Massive well done on being so brave today - don't stress yourself out with what has happened - if it keeps playing on your mind then maybe you ask for another appointment .... on the other hand if it sits easy with you and your aren't thinking or questioning it - then carry on as you are.

Sending love and hugs xxxx

Grogg, I have got to say .... your needle case you made so reminds me of the one I did in junior school - wonder if I still have it ..... anyway that said - you have done a great job...... you could now make a pair of 'throw curtains' - fold the top over - sew a straight line all the way along and slide the adjustable pole inside and boom hand at window, cupboard, garage door .... anywhere out of sight hahahaha.  

Seriously thou, that curtain I made keeps out so much cold, I think them throws must be wind resistance - and an extra bonus seem to act like a 'black out curtain' too.

I seem to of missed out about the food .... what is the 'App' called where you have the food from?

Right, cup of tea and bed it is zzzzzz

Happy Weekend everyone ..... and remember.....

Mag123 it's an intrusive thought.  We all get them but for some reason when we out of kilter we pay more attention to them and they can cause panic.  Just remind yourself you are safe.  Don't try to reason with the intrusive thought as you are just questioning yourself.  I hope you are ok.   WhatHappenedright about meds triggering. amitriptyline Often used for nerve pain triggered severe migraines in my hubby he rung me from hospital bed for me to ring nurses to turn out lights (he was bed bound on his back unable to move and he was going mad ).  Sone antihistamine can trigger night terrors too.  

WhatHappened you saying my needle case junior school level .  I'm lucky in that we've double glazed all our windows and doors over last 28 years we have lived here.  When we moved in we were skint as new baby and we bought in best area,  All windows original 1950 which we replaced on greatest need one or two at a time.  We finally replaced our porch doors last year.  It was ugly sliding door and I wanted double but they all said no room unless outward opening.  Finally got my inward double doors when builder said they were set back  so could bring forward and open inward,  My front door double glazed but the new porch doors and windows has made hall warmer which surprised us.  We cavity wall though and wood floors so still a draughty, dusty house.

Morning / Afternoon  WhatHappened The App is called TOO GOOD TO GO   Bakery ,supermarket butchers etc can sign up to fill magic bags with food that would be thrown out because of date .They then post how many bags there are and you can reserve one usual price is between £2/£3 .You get a time slot to pick it up .  It’s a win win food is not wasted and purchaser gets cheaper food . 
this is picture of a bakery I tried this week cost £2

All was very fresh
