Thread: Long time no see! :)

    Long time no see! :)

    Hey, everyone.

    Sorry I havent been around for a while (lot of medical stuff going on).

    Health update. I now have cervical spondylitis, and have had my knee x rayed, and I have an ultrasound coming up for my elbow (its bursitis, but there is something hard in there, so it needs to be looked at). Seeing my neurologist next month, so that should be good.

    I hope everyone is doing ok - Im gonna try to spend more time here.

    Speak to you soon, people, love and light.

    Hooray for a diagnosis! I know it's not great, but I always feel better if I can give something a real name itms? It's good to see you - I'm glad you're planning on coming in here more!

    Its good being properly diagnosed because then the journey to deal with them can start propper.

    It's good you've got a proper diagnosis so hopefully things can be put in place to aid your recovery or make things easier for you.

    Cheers, all.

    Hey.

    The cervical spondylitis is in addition to the stuff with my feet - it is good to know what it is though, explains the numbness in my hands, etc. Still waiting to see my neuro as I say - hopefully they'll be giving me the dopamine trial and that it will help with my feet, though I may still need surgery - don't know yet.

    Cheers for your kind words as always - catch ya later.

    Crossing everything you get the right answers from the neuro
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Question Is this depression?

    Hey.

    When I think about doing a thing, even when its something I really want to do, I find myself thinking about the process of doing it and the effort its going to require and it makes me tired, and/or I lose interest, hence I end up doing nothing a lot of the time.

    That is a symptom of depression, right? I can't think what else it would be.

    Cheers, and I hope everyone is doing ok today.

    Hey Techie, I’ve merged this new post into your recent thread as it keeps it easier to understand what’s going on in your life.

    As to your question, yep absolutely it’s a symptom (the NHS list those here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/clinic...sion/symptoms/)

    Yes it is a symptom of depression I do the same thing, lying in bed I think I'm going to do this and that when I get up and more often than not I'll end up doing nothing.
