Don't be deflated - you have done an AMZING job getting along your GP and starting the ball rolling.Finally found the energy to go and see the gp, they’re going to do a blood test in 2 days. She said after the blood tests they can begin taking me seriously, don’t know why but with how much I’m struggling lately that comment made me feel deflated. Hope they can find something in the blood tests
Some doctors are so insensitive. They don’t realise that it takes people a long time and a lot of courage to make the appointment.Finally found the energy to go and see the gp, they’re going to do a blood test in 2 days.

Well done. Hope that the tests go well and give you some answers xFinally found the energy to go and see the gp, they’re going to do a blood test in 2 days.

Hope they can find out what’s wrong @Rivervixen My husband had a blood test last year as he was feeling really exhausted and it turned out he had a B vitamin deficiency and was given tablets for it for 6 month. Apparently it alters the shape of your red blood cells so you can’t carry as much oxygen as you should so makes to feel quite exhausted. Anyway it worked, he’s full of beans now most of the time nowThank you everyone, really hoping something picks up somewhere as I’m only feeling worse as time goes on really appreciate all the support here, feeling understood in hard times always helps so much
So sorry you are feeling awful. Everything seems to happen all at once when you feel down and makes matters worse. It must be truly awful having to live with this sibling manipulating and blackmailing you still. I really think your Mum and you should kick him out and change your locks. Sadly he is unlikely to change, is there no one in your family/friend who could step in to support you bothI'm done in.
34 days into the year and I've allowed my sibling to manipulate, bully and blackmail me. I'm trapped here with nowhere to go and noone to turn to. It should be as simple as kicking him out but isn't. If we do, he tells me I will lose everything and apart from my job I have nothing. I'm sick of believing his bullshit in the hope he will change/wants a family relationship.
I'm sat here crying because I can't even set my laptop up how it was before repair. I think I've signed into my microsoft account and its downloading word etc but I've no idea. Don't know how I got Norton security on it last time either.
I've not slept much this week and I have a headache and think all the wind and cold weather has flared my dry eye up. I would very much like to hibernate and wake up in summer.
I don't have anything constructive to add but wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and you have my support.I'm done in.

Bless you that sounds so awful and tiring… really hope your sibling can sort themself out because that’s not fair on you at all. Really hope you can get some good sleep soon too, everything feels that much worse when you’re exhausted. Lots of hugs and wheeks from me and my two xI'm done in.

I can not even imagine what you are going through.
Dear Sar it’s an awful situation - I remember you telling us about your brother before. It’s hard to be strong but you can contact your local council as this is a safeguarding issue - you and your Mum are being emotionally and financially bullied by this horrible person. They would be able to offer you advice and help. You can do it online.
Hopefully your laptop is just being a bit slow.
Keep in touch with us …..we want to to support you and we’re here to listen

Hi everyone maybe we should have a dedicated thread for us to go to if we are struggling with anything non piggy related? I’ve wanted to post about how sad I am about my mums dementia. It’s
supposed to be a happy time of year where you eat, drink and be merry. Well I eat, drink and be sad. I know you guys can’t make my mum better. But sometimes it’s nice just to off load. Be heard.
It’s nice just to have people say we’re sorry you’re sad have a hug
I'm so sorry to hear your mum is suffering from dementia, its a cruel disease. I hope you're doing OKHi everyone maybe we should have a dedicated thread for us to go to if we are struggling with anything non piggy related? I’ve wanted to post about how sad I am about my mums dementia. It’s

I wish I lived nearer - I’d be round in a flash to give you some reflexology - it works wonders with sciatica, and is completely safe in pregnancy. I know how dreadful sciatica is - so you have my sympathy, too. Big hugs xI have been in tears several times this week with my sciatica especially the pain it is causing in my calf and ankle. I knew sciatica could happen but thought it would be a third trimester problem not first. Worried about my mental health as a result as I suffered with my first pregnancy and with all these aches and pains I reckon it'll kick in sooner rather than later

Hi there. I can certainly relate. My mum has passed however she did have dementia and it was very difficult. The one thing I can tell you is no matter how much you think she doesn't remember you, just having you near her is a great help. Don't make this your life because if you do it will swallow you up. Take breaks and time out for yourself. And enjoy the day.Hi everyone maybe we should have a dedicated thread for us to go to if we are struggling with anything non piggy related?

Sending hugs and sympathy for your sciatic pain, sharing similar at the moment. I hurt my back a fortnight ago and it turns out I have a bulging disc in my spine. I have never known pain like it. I'm having regular chiropractic treatment which is helping, don't know whether that would help you at all? Obviously as with most things in this life it costs, but I think I read somewhere that it can be done safely during pregnancy.I have been in tears several times this week with my sciatica especially the pain it is causing in my calf and ankle.

I’m doing ok thank you. I’m so sorry to hear your dad has passed. Remember all the good times with him. I’m sure there are many.I'm so sorry to hear your mum is suffering from dementia, its a cruel disease. I hope you're doing OK
I've been struggling since June when we lost my lovely dad 3 weeks after a metastatic lung cancer diagnosis. Our parents are our anchors and we see them as invincible.
Much Love
