Opiates! lol

Well... A few things of note. I will start with my Doctors appointment I had on the 17th. Explained to Hilary (my GP) about how long I had to wait for the pain management appointment, which I mentioned in my last post, and told her how bad the pain is getting. With advice on meds from the Wonderful Lenny, I convinced Hilary that what Im on just isnt doing anything, and she has now put me on an opiate based painkiller. Yes, I know opiates are the legal form of cocaine, but I dont care. What I do care about is that it works, for the most part. If I dont do anything, they work wonders, Im still in pain, but its eased up so much, I feel great. Thats about the only good point to these pills. If after taking them, and feeling slightly better, I try to do anything, then Im in agony. After the first pill I took, and was feeling better, I tried to move a box, not that big, and not really heavy, but it did me in, I was doubled over in pain. The second time I took a pill wias this morning, and feeling good, I went for a walk upto headington to do some shopping for my nan. Such a bad idea! So its decided, they work well, as long as i pretend Im still in a lot of pain and dont do anything! They also make me feel like Ive been drinking alcohol, and Im a bit tipsy, which is a weird feeling seeming as I havent drunk anything in 3 1/2 years, minus one or two occasions.

Second item of note is I really like someone! Yeah, I know, its me, and I proberly wont do anything about it, but heres me wishfully hoping... .Will have to see what happens! Anyway, whats more shocking is shes my age! Im 13 days older than her. lol We have been constantly speaking for a while now, and its great. I dont know if she feels the same way, but time will tell.

Oh, thirdly... I've finally got a date for my tribunal! 12th September! Ive worked out, if I get what Im expecting and they can do my DLA as well as my ESA at the same hearing, around £2500! Would of been nice to have the money before my trip to camden to see motionless in white on the 13th, but oh well, it will still be a good time!

Hmm... not much else has been going on. so off I go!

Peace x
