View Full Version : MRCP Scan.
I've had my appt come through today for my MRCP scan, it's next Wednesday. It's an MRI of the liver, gallbladder, biliary system and pancreas with IV contrast.
Has anybody had one?
Thanks

Yes. Very similar to normal mri eg bit noisy. Dont really know much more , drs tend to not go jnto details . When j went for my results my gp was not there so i saw a locum. She didnt even know what an mrcp was. She had to look it up on computer while i was there. Wonder why i dont trust doctors?
Glad this has finally come through for you, Matt and I hope it helps with your diagnosis.

Thanks. I had an MRI Feb 2017 for a herniated disc in my lumbar spine. Luckily i'm tall so my head was out. As this is going to be of my liver etc i'm going to be all the way in:huh: i'm not looking forward to it. How long did your MRCP take? Internet says anywhere from 15 to 45mins. I know my lumbar MRI lasted 16mins.
Thanks

Thanks Pulisa. They still think it's probably gallbladder but want to make sure. It's been going on for 17 months now and very depressing and anxiety provoking.

I think it lasted about 20 mins , maybe a little longer. I had lumber one in jan. The mrcp was a bit noisier but you get headphones.

Thanks:) I wonder why the MRCP one was noisier as they are both done in MRI machines:shrug:

Think it's because the head is covered a bit more by the tube than with the lumbar one.

Thanks. It's the most horrid noise! Not sure how i'm going to cope but have diazepam on standby!
Hi Matt Never heard of this type of scan had a MRI one done a few years ago it was a bit noisy sounded a bit like the old dial up internet connections before broadband came along. Guess the extra loudness of this scan you are having is because of the level of power being used? I found this out when a lump on my leg had to be investigated they originally was going to put me in a high power MRI machine but I had to tell them I had a stent fitted as they didn't seem to have my records on screen?? But they said they were glad that I told them and would put me in a lower power MRI machine but it would take a hr as against 30 mins in the higher MRI machine, but both machines would give the same results :) time wise it all depends on the area's being acanned. Good luck with it and do let us know the results ATVB

Hi Dave, An MRCP is just the name they call it when they are MRI scanning your gallbladder, biliary tree, liver and pancreas. Yes i had an MRI Feb17 on my lower back. It's very noisey the MRI machine.
Where is your stent?

Where is your stent? Hey Matt ahh just a name they give for the areas they scan :) The lower power machine is less noisey by a long way though! my stent is fitted in one of the main arteries that brings blood to my heart that was a scary op was awake the whole time :eek: ATB

Oh mate it was bad, what made it worse though part way through the op the consultant said oh there is a 2% change of getting stroke :eek :eek: good job I don't suffer with HA can you imagine what it would do to a HA'er I felt sick. Yesh I do smoke way to much (do you still smoke?) so hard as its so addictive it sucks. A triple A don't like the sound of that Matt, How is he now? ATB
Pretty sure my Partner had this one done last year when she had gallstones, my mum had the full scan and barium thang when she was ill , she was in about 45 min .
My MRI on my back I think took about 4 hours , ok twenty mins but I was shitting myself so much it felt longer , my problem was being alone in a small hospital at night and everyone had gone home , had I know what was going to happen which you do and not had the wait I think it would have been a lot less stressful, my mum takes in headphones to listen to music I'd do that if I had another , I was right inside on mine and it was in a lorry in the car park mobile MRI , it's got to be easier second time round and I doubt you will be in there much longer , take the diazepam about an hour before to let it get working and take a magazine ( not porn that's frowned upon) sitting waiting is the hardest part .
Take care chap :)

Yep still smoke about 30 a day. Have smoked as many as 40 to 50 a day:doh: Packed in from Jan 2016 until May 2017 but was vaping instead and never put it down.
Well done for getting through the stent op!!! This must have been before the NHS started using the blame everything on anxiety route for non HA sufferers as now if you have good old fashioned regular anxiety your doooooooooommmedd!!!:roflmao:
30 a day ? You two want to pack that shit up , I saw June ( dot cotton ) brown on tv the other night the docs said she should stop smoking she's smoked since she was 18 and is now 90 , is that what you want to end up looking like ? Cuz that's what'll happen , think of all that extra money you'd have , you could start taking crack .
You should here the hard time I give my daughter about smoking , tut sigh :shrug:

You should here the hard time I give my daughter about smoking , tut sigh :shrug: Sure we both do! but it's a highly addictive substance and on the crack front there is no chance ever on that :) Yes the extra money would help:shades: I have tried patches, one to one counselling it doesn't work for me, what would work is a anonymous group using the 12 step programme and yes there is one or 2 but way down south so no good to me and I cant do it on line either it has to be a room with other members just like it was for me at GA and OA very supportive and it works.

Buster, i'm sorry i never noticed this yesterday. Yeah thanks i will be in the middle of the machine. Yes it's checking my gallbladder, billiary system, liver and pancreas with an IV contrast. My lumbar MRI took 16mins. I'm thinking this will be 20ish. The internet is a mare some places say 10 to 15 mins and some say 30 to 45 mins.
Yep gonna take the chill pills.
Cheers

What was your other halfs outcome?

Hi Matt
My scan took about 25 minutes,that was on my gut area, I took a nice chill pill and fell asleep.
I smoke about 20 fags a day I had an E cig but that was useless.
I have had my gallbladder removed and spleen.The rate I'm going I wonder what is next, I know I need a brain transplant.:D I forgot where I parked my motorcycle last night and left my keys at the bar ( nothing too do with the grog):winks:
Anyway Matt you will be ok.:yesyes:

Thanks Lola,
Was your scan for your gallbladder?
I'm on the roll-ups these days as 20 cigs in the UK are now about £8.50.
Did you find your bike?:doh:

I had to phone the hospital today, as you have to phone to confirm you're going. I spoke to a girl that sounded very young. I asked how long it takes and she said an hr, i was like what in the scanner and she said yes:unsure: i hope she's got that wrong because no way am i laying in that tube for an hr!!! I've spoken to others and they've all said theirs was 10 to 30mins for an MRCP.
Asked my partner it wasn't the gallbladder where she had the MRI that was for a blood clot , she just had a scan for the gallbladder, I lose track she's there that often , she doesnt even ask what's being done when she goes in for small ops on her heart they've gone in through her neck and groin a few times and she just discharges herself and comes home , her gall baldder wasn't bad enough to operate so they've left it for now .
I think it's all going to be down to how you feel on the day knowing how long it takes won't make any difference you just hang onto that panic button and dont press it ( sounds easy ) you might find on the day you feel better than you thought , I went in a couple of years ago because they thought I had a blood clot ( it's what killed my dad ) and I felt pretty ok having X-rays and blood tests all day , sometimes when you get there you just don't freak out no idea why , when I had my heart echo I told the nurse I was very anxous she said about this or in general I said both and she didn't stop talking to calm me down ,it is better being honest with them .
Lola I've gone down the shops a few times in car and walked home without it , even woke up once and thought it had been nicked and it was down at the shops , I recently left my keys , wallet and phone on the van roof only realising when I went to lock the house to go to bed and couldn't find my keys , there is a plus side to a bad memory I watched two good films at the weekend that I'd seen before but couldn't remember either , I've got a memory like a whatsit, thingy .

To be honest i was ashamed of being a severe anxiety and panic sufferer but now i make sure Medical people know the score. When i had my CT in July the guy who had to come in and put my iv in after others had pecked my arms 20mins trying was brilliant. I think he may of experienced anxiety himself and was very calming. He put his hand on me and helped to control my breathing. I'm pi##ed off with it all now, i was never scared of anything and now everything makes me hyperventilate! 12 years of this crap now!!! I played sport as a professional infront of people as part of my career and now i avoid everything.
Sorry i'm feeling sorry for myself.

Buster your partners been through alot.
Thanks for the info!!!
Matt, for my last MRI I was told I was going to be in the scanner for 90 mins and it turned out to be half that time. I had taken diazepam beforehand because I just didn't think I could cope but it was better than I thought.
I'm having another MRI on Thursday and will do it without diazepam because I have to drive myself there. I think the anticipation is worse than the reality.
Think of your scan as a means to an end-getting the right diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks Pulisa. Yes when i had an MRI on my lower back last year i was told it would be 35 mins and it was 16 mins.
Good luck with yours on Thursday!!!!
What area did you have scanned last time and what is it this time?
If you don't wan't to say no worries.
Last time it was a pelvic MRI and this time it's a thoracic spine MRI. I'm told it will take 30 mins so hoping for less! I've had suspected neuropathic pain for 4 months in my back and radiating into my right chest so don't know whether it's a ribcage or a spinal neuralgia-just want some answers now. Had it constantly since I had pleurisy in December.
Good luck tomorrow, Matt! Hope it's over as quickly as possible for you.
Matt I'm the same utterly ashamed of being such a wuss but they see it everyday and several have told me or my partner they also suffer with anxiety it is very widespread in the health service , two doctors at my surgery have said they have gone through it one after he lost his daughter he said he still won't drive to work on motorways and goes a very long way round , the other said he spent a night in a hotel room crying under a table , and another who saw at my worst took her life after suffering post natal depression, you are never far from someone just like us , that said I still can't tell my mates I'm a nutter , after all it's just laying in a noisy tube for while but this crap we've been landed with makes us scared of our own shadows , makes no sense at all . Good luck with it you guys just lay back and think of England be over before you know it ( yes there's a joke there somewhere)
Take care .:)

Hi Buster, Yeah it's probably more common than we think. Like you none of my mates know in one circle friends but my disgusting SIL wen't round telling everybody in another circle of friends. My hospital uses a company called InHealth and it's in the machine outside in the truck trailer, i think you said your one was in one. To be honest when i phoned i mentioned about my anxiety and the girl said some people see the machine and don't get it and some people get in but hit the button and come straight out. I will do it, but i remember when i had the MRI on my lower spine my head was out and i was thinking if i was fully in my nose would almost touching the tube. I just hope the young one i spoke to got the hr scan time wrong!!!
Thanks for the support! I'm a wuss!
Diazepam at the ready!!!!
I think this is one time when mindfulness is not a good idea....Stay in the moment in this bloody scanner...Not bloody likely!:DMay the power of diazepam be with you, Matt-it really does help. Midazolam is even better...
The thought of it flowing through my veins may help and if it doesn't I may have to imagine a far worse scenario ie being on a desert island with my MIL...and no hope of rescue for a year!
Anyway, all the very best for tomorrow, Matt!

Thanks Dave it's really appreciated!!
When i met the surgeon a month ago he mentioned some pretty scary stuff that this scan is going to look for. He was shocked at my GP and Gastro's lack of testing and he's sorted more tests than they did in over 16 months and that's not even his job! I've not really posted about it but 8 stone weight loss and feeling like sh#t everyday you know what i'm thinking! And nope i've never had a momment of health anxiety ever. This is real.

Bottoms up old chap!:shades:
Well i survived! 45 bloody minutes in the scanner + 15 minutes of trying to get the canula in!! Still all done, phew! Only took 5mg of diazepam. Now just got to get through endoscopy, probably gallbladder surgery and hernia surgery.
Thanks to everybody for the support your all LEGENDS!!!!

Glad you have come out the other side, Matt! How long do you have to wait for the verdict?
Hope the diazepam helped a bit but am sorry you had cannula trouble. You could have done without that but really well done for surviving 45 minutes!

Hi Pulisa, they said the surgeon would have the results within 2 weeks. Yes the cannula was not what i needed, but it always happens with my veins.
Good luck tomorrow and thanks for the support!
Thanks, Matt. Have never done it without diazepam but no choice tomorrow. I'll be fine.
Thanks, Matt. Have never done it without diazepam but no choice tomorrow. I'll be fine. pulisa you will be fine Matt came through it ok, it's the waiting around I didn't like when I had mine done good luck :) ATB
I'll be fine.
We wouldn't have it any other way, Agent P.
May the force of NMP be with you! :D
Thank you both! It's one way of having an afternoon off from duties!
And I will be fine!:D
Well done Matt on getting through it , I know even sane people struggle with mri's , my partner always has problems with getting drips in , the docs can never find a vein so the get the experts in a nurse .
Your turn tomorrow pulisa but you'll sail through it , you're a lot tougher than us , this time tomorrow you'll be back at home thinking Christ it was less stressful in the MRI I want to go back :)
Take care and hope you both get good results , quickly.:hugs:

Thanks Buster but I don't know where you get the idea that I am tough because I'm really not. I'm truly gibbering most days but just try to cover it up.
Glad you don't have too long to wait for your results, Matt.
Thanks Buster but I don't know where you get the idea that I am tough because I'm really not. I'm truly gibbering most days but just try to cover it up.
"Covering it up" and getting on with it is sometimes our only option - and that takes strength and fortitude. The fear is there but we face it, each in our own way.
I trust all goes well today and we will have you back in one piece later to tell the tale :shades:
Thank you, KK. I promise not to hijack Matt's thread but will give you a brief update later.

Please feel free Pulisa!!! I've just come on to see if you've posted about today. Let us know how you get on or maybe by now got on. If you've not been yet good luck!!!
Just....Bleurghhhhh. It was horrible but the thought of having to admit defeat and press the panic button kept me from doing it. Also I didn't want to say what a wimp I was on here. God, I really didn't realise how much the diazepam helped me last time but this time it was head first and all the way in. It seems like hours when you're in there but only 30 mins.I had to drive home so had to pull myself together quickly.
Ah well-it's done now and thank you so much for all the support. Greatly appreciated as always. I've already had a go at my OH for dumping all his dirty washing on me after a day's golf at some poxy venue-must be reasonable from now on:)

It seems like hours when you're in there but only 30 mins.I had to drive home so had to pull myself together quickly.
Ah well-it's done now and thank you so much for all the support. Greatly appreciated as always. I've already had a go at my OH for dumping all his dirty washing on me after a day's golf at some poxy venue-must be reasonable from now on:)
:yesyes::yesyes: WELL DONE!!! It's funny i was exactly the same yesterday when they said i was going in head first as last time it was feet first. I was trying to explain to my Partner lastnight what it's like and all i could come up with is it's like laying in a coffin. They tell you to be as still as possible and to be honest my shoulders were so squished to the side of the machine i couldn't move even if i tried!
Pulisa good on you for letting your Husband go and play golf, rather than probably taking you to your appt. Where did he play?
Told you so , tough cookie not an over dipped rich tea :D not squeezing that button is a test in its self , I was so tensed up and not breathing I thought I'd press it by mistake but you both nailed it now fingers crossed for good news .
You need Micheal Douglas to walk across that golf course while they are playing or a thunder storm .
Take care .:hugs:

Buster i didn't want to say anything yesterday incase it freaked Pulisa, but yesterday they also put this heavy plastic receiver thing over the bottom of my chest and strapped it to the sides so with that and my shoulders wedged to the sides i couldn't move even if i tried. I also had to hold my breath 20+ times for 10 to 20 seconds at a time!
Well done pulisa you got through only to come home and find dirty clothes dumped I hope you have left them for him to do! It's not your job especially after the day you had now its onwards and upwards :):hugs:

He was meant to play at the Royal Wimbledon but the course was closed due to bad weather so they all trooped off to another course nearby. I'm afraid I didn't ask where they went-didn't want to show too much interest....
Yes, it does feel like lying in a coffin. Fortunately I wasn't encased by anything-that sounds awful- but I just desperately wanted to move (and get the hell out of that thing). I could feel myself twitching and I was gripping the panic button so hard my hand felt it was spasming...Bloody silly really. It just went on and on..

I couldn't have coped with that. I would have needed a GA!:D Blimey, and I thought I had a bad time...!

Yeah Matt didn't like to bring up that my bloody knees hit the top of the machine and wedged me stopping the table sliding in , it's all fun and games getting older :D I won't mention what happened to a mechanic mate on his trip through the magnetic tunnel of love in case someone else reads this but let's just say ours were a piece of cake compared to his horror story , a story i allready heard before I went in .
I swear they invent these things just to torture us , coffin with a floodlight and fax machine inside and someone trying to get in with a chainsaw , no worse than sitting on a bus with a loud mouth on a mobile :D
I know there's a film where someone is deliberately put in an MRI scanner with a metal object attached..My son normally mentions this if I have a date with the torture tube:D
I'm sure in years to come these machines will be mocked and there will be fancy new devices which scan you in the blink of an eye and silently. Still, at least we don't have to rely on advice from witch doctors now or maybe we do with the current standard of GPs...

Pulisa, Oh that noise! Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, beep beep beep beep beep, wah wah wah wah wah, doo doo doo doo doo , clang clang clang clang clang!!!
Pulisa when i worked at golf courses i dreaded it when it was shut due the conditions. Telling golfers they couldn't play honestly was like telling them their house was being repossessed and they could get really quite aggressive. I'm not saying your Husband is like that but i played golf for 30 years and they can be a strange bunch.
Tell me about it....I don't think it affected things too much although it was disappointing. One of the group's golf club was nearby so they all went there. It's a different world to mine-if our house were on fire the golf clubs would get priority!

When did they say you would get your results?
Got an appointment on 17th April. What about you?

Was just told the surgeon would have the results within 2 weeks.
Is your appt with your GP? That sounds efficient.
Yes. I booked it before I had the scan because I didn't want to wait ages. The GP referred me directly for the scan-I didn't know they could do that but there wasn't a problem.

Yes i saw something somewhere that GP's can't refer for MRI's but mine did when i hurt my back.
Keep us posted Pulisa:)
I find it really difficult to post about myself on NMP but I'll certainly let you know on this thread if I may, Matt? I am very aware that this is your thread though and we all need to know how you are and how you are dealing with your pain and discomfort. It's very hard to cope with chronic pain which has gone on for months undiagnosed so please keep us posted on how you are doing?

Yes of course you can. Please Pulisa keep us updated.
So Matt , had a chat with my uncle yesterday he had a hernia op a while back ( they are so common) anyway he must have enjoyed it so much he went down his allotment digging pretty much straight after it healed ( it's a man thang ) and ripped it back open , so he's been waiting for his new op for six months and decided to ring and check when it was going ahead , the doc dealing with it left and didn't refer him so he'd have a bloody long wait no one even knew he needed one , I guess you have to get onto them if you hear nothing .
I am curious, maybe nosey so go no comment to this question if you like but how did you go from not scared of anything, sporting, golf ball whacking biker to here ? . A series of unfortunate events plus trying illegal drugs when young and meds when older messed up my noodles , I always wonder how people end up where they are even homeless people , one thing anxiety has done for me is make me more compassionate and less judgmental.
Pulisa you've more than earned the right to open up on here you've offered a lot of help and advice to others , no bugger knows you and I'm pretty sure nothing you could say would shock or make people think less of you and if they did that's their though shite .
I'll keep my fingers crossed you both get good results although I might need them uncrossed in the morning to help the kids break into Easter eggs .

That's not good for your uncle Buster! Do you know what hernia he has? is it down by his privates like mine? It's called an inguinal hernia. They think mine is a double inguinal hernia.
I don't mind telling you my story mate. Was a sport professional and had my own business to young when i was 22. Did nothing but work far to long hrs and had no time off. The sh@t hit the fan in 2006 when i woke up one morning and pretty much had constant panic attacks for 3 months solid and i've never really recovered since. In 2011 i just had to pack my business in because it was all to much and it had been a really bad struggle since the start of the recession in 2008.
Buster i'm also going to add why i hate my SIL so much as it's something thats played a part in me trying to recover. My brother was down on his luck all through the 90's, i did so much for him financially. In 2000 whilst running my business i helped him set up his business. I payed his phone bills, accountancy invoices and let him use an office in my premises free of charge for 10 years, so he had no business rates and pretty much no overheads at all. At the time i had private medical that i had my mum and dad on so i put him, his son and partner at the time on it. In 2007 he met his now fat ugly bitch wife and everything changed. This pig had been handed everything to her on a plate including a house so she had no personal outgoings at all ever. My brother was my best mate we did everything together and everything i did for him i never even thought about, i just did it. As we had the same circle of friends his bitch wife started to say things to others about me and my parents but i ignored it. My mum and dad had also helped him out financially, my dad had retired and worked for my brother for nothing to help start his business. In 2011 when i packed my business in i wen't to work with my brother. It was easy and just what i needed it was on a self employed basis but minimum hourly rate but it was just driving a van about. This is when his bitch wife got really nasty by this time he was running his business from home and if i had to go round with paperwork or anything it was getting snatched by her and the door slammed in my face and all different manner of things. It was also getting back to me through our circle of friends that she was saying things like me and my parents do nothing for them! WTF if it wasn't for us he would have nothing!! In 2013 i'd had enough, we were out on our motorbikes and i said to him about why she was acting the way she was, but it was to late she had brain washed him. When things were good for me i had a top floor flat yards from the seafront, new car and motorbike but all that wen't in 2011 and my brother had started to take the pi#s out of where i now lived, when he was living in a house his bitch wife had been given!! I was told i could use the van i had for work whenever i wanted so i sold my car but i made sure i never abused my use of the van. In 2014 i took it on a family day out 40 miles away and his bitch wife saw it on my partners facebook and i got a shity text from my brother that he was talking £20 out of my wages, then a shity letter turned up with how i've never done anything for them and he sacked me. I've never spoken to his bitch wife in nearly 4 years and spoken to my brother twice in that time.
He now has a thriving business with brand new vehicles, a free house, new motorbike. His bitch wife still tells everybody how i did nothing for them all because he gave me a job, when he would never of had his business if it wasn't for me because he never had a pot to pi#s in!!
Sorry for the rant but it makes me feel better to let it out!!!
That's a very sad story. Matt. After all you have done for your brother..You must feel betrayed and so much down to his scumbag of a wife. It's awful when there's such an irreversible split in the family especially when you had been so close to your brother. You must miss his friendship of the old days a hell of a lot.
At least your conscience is clear and you know that you gave your brother a lifeline and new hope. You know the truth. If others choose to believe otherwise they are no friends of yours and you are better off without them.

Thanks Pulisa, Yes i miss my brother, it's a shame but i won't speak to them again. I don't care what i had and lost but i care when i get my nose rubbed in it. I find it really hard to stomach the things that were said, when she's never had to work for anything and had no pressure of day to day life. She turned my brother into someone that is just not the way our parents brought us up to be.
Matt you know that story strangers on a train ? My down fall started with work , nit too much just the wrong people , the sort that break your legs if you mess things up , but a biggie with me was my partners sister , we looked after her sons pretty much bringing one up , she would dump them on us at any opportunity, when the older one came to live with us he stole my daughters birthday money and just took the piss , partner had a heart attack with the stress and I nearly got locked up for attacking him , they caused a load more trouble with lies after that , they are the gift that keeps on giving , we did hear at a funeral she had been declared bankrupt and lost her house so there is Karma :D big believer in what goes around comes around .
I might have mentioned this before ( bad memory) but my biggest downfall came from a pork scratching , choked on one stopped breathing and ended up in hospital for about a month I couldn't sleep or stop thinking about my mortality so doc says take these they will help you sleep , didn't know they were antidepressants, after about ten days I woke up one day and it was like I'd taken an acid tab , psychosis, scary scary sh&t , funny with hindsight that we can see just slowing down and taking a break would probably have helped .
I fell out with my bro after my dad died but somehow we ended up talking again , my dad fell out with his twin brother and never spoke to him again , it is sad and heartbreaking to fall out with family . If you can make up with your bro you should maybe after we've killed each others sils it will be easier :D in the dining room with a golf club to make it ironic .:D

Buster, blimmey a pork scratching! My partners BIL had prostate cancer in 2015. He was struggling to sleep and his GP gave him mirtazapine!!! I never said anything, but blo#dy mirtazapine!! Probably because it's cheaper than proper sleeping tablets to the NHS.
I will never make it up with my brother whilst he's with that fat no mark!!! She has totally brainwashed him and his attitude towards family since she's been on the scene is pathetic. I could go on with many more stories about her but won't, she's just evil!
Your SIL sounds just as bad! Shall we have the SIL cluedo party then? I'm going for smashed in the face repeatedly with a golf club in the bin cupboard, ready to fill up the bin lorry!!
Buster i don't think these tablets are the way to go. I was put straight on seroxat, years later mirtazapine were added then propranolol. I managed to get off seroxat 2 years ago and stopped propranolol last year, so now just take mirtazapine. I've been offered all sorts but refused.
I agree about the meds. Did you know that vets prescribe mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant? My cat had a terrible reaction too. (She was given it post-op and no one told me)

That's very suprising Pulisa i would never have thought that:ohmy:
I have my suspicions about mirtazapine, it seems to be the antidepressant that's getting dished out here there and everywhere, probably because it's cheap.
Mentioned to partner might be getting her sister killed off and she's over the moon , would you prefer iron or wood ? If there is anyone you need offing pulisa just say we can make it a three way thing , my preference would be steamroller but I know they are hard to get hold of and terrible get away cars , just a heavy candlestick would do :D
I honestly think if I'd never touched antidepressants I'd be a lot better now , doc offered me propranolol and said don't look up the side affects I did and it said do not take with asthma, a ten minute appointment is never long enough for mental problems .
Got some bad news today about a cousin who was very ill last year , there is always some poor bugger worse off , sometimes when you here about someone else's problems it puts your own into perspective.
Take care .
Sorry to hear about your cousin Buster. I've got a cousin who's unwell too. He was unwell for a long time kept getting told it was depression, turns out it was parkinsons. Then he was diagnosed with bowel cancer late last year.
Steamroller sounds good!!! Golf club the ankles first so they can't get away. It would be a wood, longer shaft, greater clubhead speed. We could have a big amp on the steamroller playing the Halloween film theme song!!:noangel:
---------- Post added at 16:03 ---------- Previous post was at 14:26 ----------
Or what about the exorcist theme song or pantera f##king hostile? :D:D
Cousin was in hospital with multiple organ failure all brought on by depression and stopping eating and drinking, i went to see him when he pulled through and he seemed so much better and was getting help with his mental state but the damage was done , his liver has now pretty much failed so he's waiting for transplant , I really want to go round to see him but I'm not too good myself , he's younger than me and I know his mum and dad appreciated me going round before , if it was the sil from hell I wouldn't give a flying feck .
I'm no expert on golf only played twice as a favour to a mate but I know a fake ping and I did once buy 2000 pond balls , I did worry about the boxes splitting and the van doors coming open :roflmao: a nice vintage metal shafted wood with nails non of that carbon shite don't want it snapping but it might be too quick ( one hit wonder ) slow steam roller with looney tunes playing , That's all folks !! Has your sil got a smug face ? I bet she has just like the Trump , better stop talking about them might spoil the plan .:)

Buster that's terrible about your cousin. Hope he get's the transplant sooner rather than later and gets himself well.
Sorry you're not doing so well. How's your partner doing now?
I think we should use that's all folks once the steamrolling has been done. What about Metallica seek and destroy for the hunting down and Limp Bizkit rollin for the chase?:whistles::whistles::whistles:
Yes she has a very smug face!!!! If you youtube steel panther "fat girl" the fake bird in the vid reminds me of her!!!
That's really bad news about your cousin, Buster. I can understand how you want to see him but aren't in the best place yourself to actually go. I'm sure he would appreciate seeing you if you feel you can but I know it's not that easy..
Sorry to hear about your cousin too, Matt. Some people suffer far too much whilst others get away scot free. Life is unfair, it seems...
It must be therapeutic for you two to plot the ultimate SIL Silencing!!:D
Pulisa you'll rember when I talked about him when he was in hospital before , when I went round he looked so healthy better than me to be honest , he'd put some weight back on and sounded pretty positive , we had a good chat and I told him I'd been through a lot of it as well, he's the only man I've mentioned my mental health to , I felt pretty good coming away and I know what his parents are going through he might be grown man but as parents it takes over your whole life , you know as well what it's like to sit on a hospital chair day in day out hoping things will be ok , he's a good man and deserves a break .
I'm quite looking forward to meeting matts sil should be a nice day out probably not for her :D
Yes his poor parents must be going through hell. Having to have a transplant and the waiting for a suitable donor would be intolerably stressful for them all. Mental health problems can be totally devastating-all that poor family can do is watch and wait and you know what that's like, Buster. I know I spend my time trying to keep my daughter safe on a much lesser scale but the pressure is always there and doctors and psychs with all their qualifications will never fully understand the strain of keeping vigilant around the clock and always staying one step ahead.

Thanks pulisa, None of us are really sure what's going on with my cousin. He was diagnosed just before Christmas didn't tell anybody and was operated on within weeks. The reason for him not telling anyone was his Mum was terminal with cancer and bed bound. She sadly passed just over 5 weeks ago. We still don't know his exact situation as he's having to have chemo all the way through until June.
Yes it's therapeutic planning the demise of the most evil person i've ever met.:noangel::noangel:
Just to throw something else out there on her attitude. When she married my brother he had no say in the plans whatsoever. She had invited some customers of hers and he had one of his friends. Me and my partner were seated at the furthest seats possible from the pig and groom. :doh:
She sounds a ghastly old sow! I wonder what your brother sees in her?
I say the same, don't know what he sees in his not so charming old hag, I call her lemon squeeze,she has one of those faces after you sick on a lemon, I would have slapped her mother when she was born and I bet mother Martha had to put a dog bone around her neck so the dog would play with her,she had no friends even as a kid,the bully.
Matt,Buster life sucks for some while others seem to breeze through it without a care in the world.:hugs:
Matt a lot of people keep cancer to themselves some because they don't want to accept it's real and some to protect others , we had a freind pass away last year I walked my dog with him not knowing what he was hiding , hope your cousin gets through ok it's not over till the fat lady sings :D
Not had a great day today and spent ages going from shop to shop to buy somthing I needed 9 shops and didn't find it but somthing I did see made me laugh , I thought if you give it your sil it will cover your tracks when she disappears under the funroller , photo below ( probably looked weirder than usual taking the photo )
Lola if you want rid of your favourite sour sis you're gona have to post her to the uk I can't be coming over there , how would you like her to go ? Tied to a wrecking ball with the Birdy song playing?:roflmao:
She sounds a ghastly old sow! I wonder what your brother sees in her?

I say the same, don't know what he sees in his not so charming old hag, I call her lemon squeeze,she has one of those faces after you sick on a lemon, I would have slapped her mother when she was born and I bet mother Martha had to put a dog bone around her neck so the dog would play with her,she had no friends even as a kid,the bully.
Matt,Buster life sucks for some while others seem to breeze through it without a care in the world.:hugs:
That's three SIL's that need offing now, anybody else?
Matt a lot of people keep cancer to themselves some because they don't want to accept it's real and some to protect others , we had a freind pass away last year I walked my dog with him not knowing what he was hiding , hope your cousin gets through ok it's not over till the fat lady sings :D
Not had a great day today and spent ages going from shop to shop to buy somthing I needed 9 shops and didn't find it but somthing I did see made me laugh , I thought if you give it your sil it will cover your tracks when she disappears under the funroller , photo below ( probably looked weirder than usual taking the photo )
Lola if you want rid of your favourite sour sis you're gona have to post her to the uk I can't be coming over there , how would you like her to go ? Tied to a wrecking ball with the Birdy song playing?:roflmao:
Sorry about your dog walking mate Buster.
Well my Mum was round today and my cousin is terminal, it's all spread and he's waiting for the right time to tell his Dad. Never the right time but as his Mum has just died:shrug:
Like the mug!!! Get me one!!! Would you mind if i smash it in her face?!:ohmy::whistles:
I've had a little think, steamroller and wrecking balls are far to quick.
Golf clubs and mallets have to be the way. Start with the toes and work upwards:whistles:
Buster i mentioned she looks like the fake bird from the steel panther video, fat girl. Here's the pic
Buster, What's the payload of your van?
PMSL at the thought of getting the mug just to smash it in her ugly mug :roflmao: but now I've seen what she looks like I'm not so sure , she sure has got a purdy mouth .
Here's how sweet mine is , she cheated on her husband with her best mates husband , they went out as two couples together and she worked with her mate , when the shit hit the fan she had no shame about what she'd done and moved in with us ( should have put a pillow over her face then ) when she married the new guy we also got put at the end of a very long table which suited me down to the ground , we also had to pay for our own meals and and drinks at a posh hotel , I got hammered and pretty much asked to leave , she's a real keeper .
Would you say she weighs more than a Honda cbr600 ? It was ok with that in the back , come to think of it I've still got the handcuffs hanging off the tow hitch I knew they'd come in handy ,they still make me chuckle .
Could be a new business venture , SIL Removers .

Yours sounds delightful. I would say one of her arse cheeks weighs more than a cbr600 Buster. So lets start that business and get a luton van. We could do a promo video as an A Team spoof:D
How's about these words over the A Team music.......
In 2005 a group of MH misfits won an A Team costume contest at an 80s tv convention. They promptly returned home and drunk some beer.
Today they survive as SIL removing soldiers of furtune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and you can find them, maybe you could hire the SIL removers A Team!!!!
You've got the handcuffs, i've got the golf clubs. Have you got any ratchet straps?? If we can't afford a luton we may need the straps for this........
Should have said that's really bad news about your cousin , I feel him and his dad , I'm hoping I don't get any bad news on mine nobody seems to be going to see him , getting older is just shite , my memory is so bad I read a post and I've forgot the start by the end .
My last van I sold last year I'd sprayed black just needed a red stripe for the A Team look , kind of like the idea of an American rat look truck with bull bar inspired by your picture , run em down and tie em to the roof , we could get loads done in a day .
I really need to sleep :weep:

Buster let's do it!!!! Shall we wear boiler suits or army greens? We better get an internal safety cage for the car if we're strapping my SIL to the roof! You don't wan't that crashing through!!!!:noangel::doh:
So 2 day's short of 4 weeks since this scan and i've not heard anything!! WA##ERS!!!
Sh&@ has it been that long already? I bet it only seems like four fu&@ing years , maybe no news is good news eh ? If it's bad bad they are on the phone the next day , I know not much comfort to you right now , have you rang them ?

I have never had a MRCP scan, but plenty of brain scans due to me having NF, very noisy, and the spinal scan, one scan made my nose tickly.
Matt, believe me they are on the phone to you on the same day.
I do hope you get some news soon. It's so depressing when this just drags on and you get stuck in a rut of not knowing and getting so frustrated..
