Hi all,

Just got back from a nice long walk. When I say nice, it's a bit too hot and humid for me but at least it's worn the dog out (and me too). He was in the dog house (literally) this morning as he buried a bone in the garden, got mud all up his nose and then came in and sneezed it all over the carpet. I've now dug up his bone and hidden it so he's sulking.

Hi Jarrod - good to hear from you. It's been a while. How are you doing?

Joy - swollen ankles and anxiety. As if one's not bad enough but both together - you poor thing. Have you any idea what the next step is? Have you ever been prescribed pregabalin? The NICE guidance says for doctors to prescribe this if ADs aren't effective or tolerated.

Well, off for lie down and a read for an hour. Back to work tomorrow and I want to be bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning.

Take care

Pip xxx

Pink - crossed posts! How are you?

dear pipkin

i'm on pregabalin as well but doesnt seem to help the anxiety. i'm on 300mg but shrink doesnt seem to want to increase it, i was fine last week on higher dose of olanzapine apart from the swollen ankles.think i'm a bit of a mystery. seeing dr g on friday so we'll see what ideas hes got next

thanks for caring

Hi folks, Mrs W and I had quite a nice weekend, ended up staying at the very posh Citizen M hotel in Glasgow. It was nice but I cant say it was worth the £120 per night excluding breakfast. On the Saturady evening we went to see the new Bourne movie then had a nice Indian meal and a few beers at Assamshttp://assams.co.uk/
Spent most of Sunday at Ikea and bought some garden furniture etc.

Been feeling a bit flat lately but getting on with things generally. It seems to come in cycles of feeling ok, feeling shite you all know what I mean.
all round...
