Hello, I was thinking of sitting some courses with www.amtra.org.uk and was wondering if anyone on this forum deals with animal welfare and medications etc that could give me a short insight on what the courses are like? Thanks in advance, MOA. |

No one that I know of. One of our moderators is a biologist, though she has not been around for a long time. I have dreamed of being an exotic vet but so far they are still dreams as I am too ill to study.
Sorry about the lack of comments from me. I am dealing with pretty severe health issues at the moment and can't focus for long.

I am in agony myself got a very bad back injury from judo and stuck on morphine, not nice stuff at all. Take care, MOA. |

I think we are a trio because I am in constant pain with my back and legs. I am on pregabalin amongst other things, not that it is doing much good. I am sorry to hear about your back injury MOA love, is it permanent? We will just have to comfort each other LOL!  Hugs Jo xx |

I am sorry to hear about your back injury MOA love, is it permanent? We will just have to comfort each other LOL! Hugs Jo xx Yeah its permanent. Before the MRI scan I was hopeful that the protrusions where the nucleus of the disc oozing out on to the sciatic nerve. However thats not the case with me. Discs L5 & S1 have dehydrated so the discs themselves have crumbled into bits. We also found a nerve @ ML5 region has unpunged itself from its root. Surgery of course was on the table but it could leave me incontinent and at my age im not up for that just yet. The gabs and pregabs just dont work on me, yet they are good drugs if they work. Things like Amitriptyline give me severe depression feelings so morphine was my last choice. I tried everything before it because I know morphine isnt great a pain killer for nerve pain at all, more better for the skeletal. However it helps take the edge of it but it also comes with its own problems. What I was surprised at was I noticed you dont become addicted to it if your in pain but your body does. Every now and again I dont take it just so I can see what the pain is like. I dont seem to wake up craving it but my body sweats bad if I do this which of course tells me that the body needs it. |

I really appreciate your opening up to me like this MA love because some people don't find it easy to talk about illness. I am a good and concerned listener and I am so sorry that it is permanent. Mine is also. For what I have there is an operation that can be done but apparently only in the US and I can just imagine what that would cost. I am on Prozac, 3 20mg tabs a day and whilst I still get very depressed, I wonder what would be like of didn't take them, so I am hanging on fast. I am on amytrip too which apparently is supposed to help with depression but from what you say hunni, obviously not. I am incontinent sometimes but I can understand a young person having a horror of it. I am 60 and it is bad enough at my age. I am in a lot of pain with all I take but I imagine it to be far worse if I didn't. It would be nice to be drug-free but I am afraid that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I hope you are having a good day today Hugs Jo xx |

My wifes medical insurance policy also covers existing issues and I was gonny go on it for the required 6 months and then look at the operations available in the private sector. And no folks I am not a snob im from Scotland, we still live in caves here lol. As much as I appreciate the NHS and what the staff do (I owe my life to them), its still severely under staffed and everything is about cost cutting now rather than what's best for the patient. There is so much thats not available on the NHS. I think if I go on the private sector I will end up like darth vader. |

I don't I am afraid MOA love, I was just told that nothing could be done here so I accepted it. I was born with a crooked spine called I think Scoliosis or something similar. I don't blame you for having private insurance love, my parents always did but I can't afford it. I am not about to start criticising people who have private insurance knowing that I would to if I were able. I know the NHS is in serious trouble and do I worry about how it is all going to end, especially in my state of health.
Hugs
JO xx
