Not sure to be frank, but all I got tonight was a Prawn fecking Curry!

Hmmmm.....and believe me, after a curry, that is definitely "ALL" you will get tonight...

She's asleep! I'm not complaining the poor thing has been through the ringer for the last few months. She got ill with a really nasty chest infection and the doc gave her a load of steroids that she's had a really bad reaction to. Severely depressed and the poor thing still has to wake up with me and four kids! She's been off work for the last 4 weeks!

She is thanks mate, wasn't so much the infection it was the steroids. The stupid arsed doctor didn't check her records and gave her a double dose of steroids widely known for causing mental health issues!

Jeez, that's not good.

Here's to her speedy recovery.

Did she 'snap' a bit at the slightest thing??

That's the usual side-effect....."'Roid rage".

The older I get, the less faith I have in the mainstream medical profession.

I got a course of steroids for laryngitis, which was caused from being intubated badly during my skin cancer/skin graft surgery. It smashed me around mentally too. It wasn't till I went back to my own doctor thinking I needed a increase in my antidepressants that she picked up what the specialist had given me and how it was interacting with my other med's. It was about then I quit the antidepressants off my own back and got into mindfulness and yoga.

Funny you should say that, she's down stairs now doing some mindfulness and yoga with her uncle.

Uncle Paul

Yoga?
Didn't that fade away in the 80's??

Lolz@ Monty.

Infinitely better approach than just chucking chemicals down her throat.
I wonder if the fact that most of the worlds medical infrastructure is funded by the pharmaceutical industry, is the reason why "popping a pill" is currently the most frequently used approach.??

I hope she starts to find a way back soon Monty, fwiw acknowledging your confidence in her strengths will be some of the greatest support you can give her IMHO mate (Over & above your sympathy & understanding).

No popping of pills??

What on earth is this place coming to??

Give the 'natural herbal remedies' a chance

Clearing out my garage bloody mess. Better now.

On a plus side I have now been able to get the bikes out for the spring and give them a clean and tidy up Spring is definitely here

Don't forget to clean my leathers.
