Thanks @Shaz51 I shall send lots of Hugs back to you.

As it sounds like you are having a rough time yourself.

Drs did not suggest any food restrictions, so no so far.

They did say to avoid taking any Anti-Inflammatories.

Which is tough, because only Anti-Inflammatories help with/ ease my Shoulder pain (both shoulders) & Neck.

I have had 2 Baby Budgies + 2 Baby Bengalese Finches, come out of their Nests in the past few weeks.

Sadly 2 Adult Bengalese Finches escaped from Aviary on Saturday (2 days ago) - Whilst I was cleaning Aviaries & filling Seed & Water.

They are very hard to get/ find to buy now.

They're gone for good.

@Adge 

I can not take Anti-Inflammatories either because of my kidney

Have you tried Fisiocream , it is gentler than deep heat xx

Yes soo much is going on at the moment but am OK,  one step at a time here 

[Adge]

@Shaz51 Fisiocream I had not heard of so have not tried it.

Thanks.

Shall ask Chemist if they stock that one.

Yes one step at a time here too.

Sometimes just an hour at a time or so here.

Mostly very small steps forward - I wish mine were Bigger....

@Shaz51 I have just ordered some cream - To try it & see if it helps.

Thanks.

Referral from GP to see a Haematologist, was in February - because high blood Platelet count.

No response no appointment notice in 3 months since then.

Medical Centre Receptionist said there is no contact phone number for state health services, to follow-up or ask what happened to my Referral (sent 14th February) - Referral was sent through Electronically.

So all she could do was send my Referral through again this afternoon (3 months later).

@Adge , sending you understanding hugs my friend as my referral was in December to see the blood specialists as my ferritin level is very high 

And also being anaemia at the same time 

Hope you have a OK day 

Crazy all the rain we are having , some flooding in some areas

Hello @Adge 

How are you going with the cold xx

How are you featherbabies 

Hope you are OK 

[Shaz51]

Hello @Adge , R U OK my friend 

[Adge]

Hi @Shaz51 Thanks so much for thinking of me.

You are a very caring sort.

Physically I'm exhausted - Working even 3 days every week (per week) has been taking more out of me than I've got.

I've been doing this Council Parks & Gardens work for the past 10 months, as a Casual (through an agency).

So I still check in on the Forums several times every day - yet don't have any energy the write any Posts.

I was reading Posts & pushing Support Button, until recently - Now I'm not even managing to do that much.

Still no Follow-Up, no Treatment resulting from any of the Scans & Tests that I had, at the beginning of this year.

My Divorce went through on September 30th - After 12 years Separated. Have not seen my ex since 2010.

I've just been Successful (after a 2 months Selection Process) in being offered a Permanent Parks position - Yet it involves working 4 to 5 days (per week), instead of my current 3 days per week.

So I'm not sure how I will cope with the extra demands on my body.

All the Best.

Hopefully will talk to you & others soon.

Ohh hugs my friend @Adge 

Totally understand as my physical problems are catching up with me too , Woking in the mornings and I am had it in the afternoons 

Sorry there is no follow-up or treatment,  have you tried ringing them up 

I had a bone scan and I have Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis 

12 years is a long time xx

Have you still have your bird's
