    Hi . I'm so sorry to read you're still suffering - I often wonder where my emotions are hidden as I rarely seem to be able to react to what's going on around me. I should be in bits but am more likely to worry about getting Xmas cards written - which I haven't at the moment!

    Why not type in anti depression medication in the search bars at the top of this page. You may get some answers there.

    Yesterday was the pits, laxatives worked and suffered explosions from what seemed like every orifice! Ended up going back to bed, something I never do!

    The worst in the peripheral neuropathy for me. I'm finding typing difficult and can't easily hold a pen, still got cards to write (all of em!) My feet hurt like hell & I wonder how a cocktail of drugs can possibly do that!

    Good thing I've lost 10kgs since September but not a recommended way of losing!! As I say, I've got to keep my sense of madness or I'll cross the line! When I feel down I watch episodes of Would I lie to you and that never fails to crack me up _ even when I know every episode word for word!

    Not sure if this is the norm for me or just a part of the cycle. wrote it's not pleasant but it's do-able!

    Hugs, Bucket Barb xx

    PS note my new name, I go everywhere accompanied by a little black bucket! LOL
