Hi Kirsti, I'm glad this week has been good for you Oh teething - it's hard work isn't it? I think my son's been teething since the day he was born LOL! The little toothy pegs do look cute though don't they? I think, but I don't know for sure at all, but people talk about having more good days than bad as being a good sign? Take care and hope your weekend is ok Hopefulxx

You are doing really well and the fact you are noticing you have good days is a good sign. Try to focus on the positive things you do and not the negative. I found this really hard to do but, 9 months later am feeling the benefit of it. Remember everyone has their bad days but we notice it more because of our illness, reward yourself with praise and i promise its hard to do but it can be achieved. Dee x

Oh you poor thing
I so hope your cat is OK - I have too many cats - 5 - but each one is special and it anything happens to them I am distraught even without PNI.
However they are remarkably resilient, my cats much more than my two dogs just seem to shake things off once they have had the right treatment.
I do hope your is OK
Let us know later - we will be here as always
All the best
Veritee

Hi veritee he has been kept in at the vets his leg is broken .There are three options depending on what the x-ray shows 1.Fix the leg 2.amputate 3. get him put down don't want that would rather just get it amputated .just feel so sad for him but the vet did say he was in good health for being 16 years old which i suppose is a googd thing.I have 5 cats also my 16 yr old benson my 12yr old molly 2 year elsa 8 month old sab and 2 month old zuki .It's amazing how they all have their own character.One of the funnioest things i have seen yet was zuki the youngest try to suckle of sab who is male he just lay there and let her! my cats are all daft still don't know if i make them daft or whether we get them like that! lol. kirsti xxx

Hi Kirsti
I just wanted to say that I hope your cat is ok. I too am a cat lover and before I got married always owned several. Unfortunately my husband is allergic to animals, so I had a very tough decision to make between keeping my 2 cats and getting married! Luckily my cats went to someone I know, but I still miss having a cat around. I love your cats names by the way.
Hopefulxx

Hi Kirsti,
I also love cats, i have a 9yr old one called Spice who's blind in one eye. Its horrible when they are ill or hurt isn't it? just like when a child is ill or hurt. I know what you mean about them being daft, mine wasn't before i got her but she is now!! lol. I hope your cat is ok, keep us up-to-date. Also my son has been teething for about 2 months now and he's only 5 months old and i'm wondering WHEN/IF he'll get teeth....... its a nightmare isn't it. Between cats and babies its no wonder we are all daft! lol
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hey Kirsti Been catching up on your posts again! I'm so glad that you have noticed a positive change within yourself! It's fantastic!!! Thats great news! It's such a fantastic feeling when you begin to feel like yourself again. I remember very clearly when i hit that and felt like "Natalie" again...i couldnt have been happier at the time!!!

well hello all sorry i havn't been on in a while been x-mas and my birthday and new year been very run off my feet ! been spending most of my time trying to fiund places to put all his toys! lol Don't knwo what i'm goign to do on his birthday house iwill be jam packed! I still have not had a down day which makes me feel really good i still have a very short temper btu i suppose that will get better.the only thing that i do still seem to have is the anxiety will this take longer to go away than the PND?I turned the big 18 on wednesday! lol don't feel any diffrent reaaly here's me thinking it would. The way i have been feeling the past couple of weeks has really made a diffrence in all my realationships with people .I finally Feel like the old me is coming back! slowly but surely i'm coming back.I guess the pills really do work! I also think putting ben in his own room helped a lot as it enabled me to get more sleep and also have some me time.If this is how i feel by moving him out of my room how will i feel moving him into his own house! lol Mind you i probibly won't want him to go ! lol
Just a few words of encouragement to others.I know that you think thast you will never be rid of this illness but if you take the tablets which do help trust me .I didn't want to go on them but i HAD to .If you think positive and be positive you will beat this .I have .You need to be strong don't dwell on what happened yesterday think of today as a new day.Make rota's to tell you what to do in the day even if you complete 5 that is a great accomplishment and keep doing the same everyday.Take long walks they really helped me a lot.Whether you walkj with your child/ren or walk alone they help so much but don't walk in noisy places nice queit roads with nice scenery and things to look at to keep your mind accoupied.I hope you all get better and if anyone EVER needs to talk i am always here you can contact me on here on msn at twiggy_1987@msn.com or yahoo on scots_brunette_barbie@yahoo.co.uk.
All the best and Happy New Year kirsti xxx
