Pie Crust Tongue

[Guest guest]

I so like that expression and so right on the money!! Wow this is so

uplifting. My tongue most definitely resembles a pie crust underneath

when keep my mouth shut for a period of time (hey I can hear you all

shouting I bet that doesn't happen much!). Sorry I haven't responded

to any of the comments today but my laptop screen decided to break

after nearly 2 months so we had to take it back for repair. I am now

on my husbands and have to queue behind my kids! Again for those who

missed my comments over the last couple of days I am too lazy to walk

a few feet to the main pc in my living room!.

I am taking in all the great advice and will be getting these tests

sorted but I have to write myself notes because I forget. I have even

had doctor consultations and left without asking the questions I have

meant to ask.

So tonight I am going to bed with a tumbler of cold water to see if I

have a Candida problem - wouldnt be surprised as I have had a bucket

load of antibiotics in the last two months, mainly following my

pelvic floor surgery thingy and catheterisation.....So having this

flippin cold now its triggered my asthmatic cough and at least I am

not wetting my knickers ha ha!!

Someone mentioned adrenals...well one GP did mutter something about

adrenal insufficiency another said getting any diagnosis would take

months and my GP who I saw last said " being treated for thyroid will

not help you lose weight " . Now that suggests to me that she felt my

sole reason for this 'crusade' was to lose weight. hmme! I think it

would be far more cost effective to get me sorted rather than me

being at the surgery every month with some vague ailment.

Sheila asked about my OCD well I went to my GP convinced I had it

because I had great deal of anxiety especially when moving

departments with little or no warning. I was arranging my husbands

clothes in colour order, I was having intrusive thoughts mainly on

the lines that my kids might get injured or die whilst out. My

compulsion was mainly to pick an area on the back of my head or

collect pens or hand bags (not alone on that one eh?) and shop shop

shop for nothing in particular. Lots of things really that I dont

want to go into but steadily taking over my life to the point I was

feeling that I had too much going on to do anything and that in turn

left me sitting in my chair only going out if I really really had to.

So Fluvoxamine 300mgs per night is my SSRI antidepressant and have to

say I feel a bit better but by no means cured and I might feel better

because I am not back at work for at least another month.

If you met me in the street you wouldn't have a clue what was going

on in my life and that has been my downfall, I am too good at giving

advice (nurse/midwife) and not very good at taking it. I can look

outwardly happy and chirpy but inside I am screaming " help me " . So

now I have found a group of lovely ladies that listen to my ramblings

I am going to stick at it and keep you up to speed with my progress.

thanks to all

I find my own serrated-edged tongue is a really useful way of telling

when I'm not getting it right. It helps as a back up when I'm feeling

out of sorts: is it a bug or am I hypo.........

check the tongue, yep, definitely hypo.
