Jeez ..did i put ..i want to do dialysis on my wish list ? Yesterday i spent half my day in A & E then the other half at dialysis ..what a long day ! But to top it all , i had to face the 'wrath of the sister' (sounds like a star wars film
) My neck has been bothering me for ages (due to the position of the much lusted after beds by RM
) and yesterday ,just on my way into the unit my neck gave up and locked up totally ! I couldnt move it and the pain ..wow ! So i went up to the unit to say i had better make my way over to A& E to see what was going on. Did i get any sympathy? Nooooo i got ..well cant you do 3 and a half hours first , then go !!! HA ! At what point does dialysis turn you into Robocop? Anyway i went down to A& E first , had x-rays done , they recon its arthritis ..great now make me feel old as well ! No treatment , back up to dialysis and the scowls , sat for 3 hours in total agony. Good day all round !

this may be a dumb question, but what is A&E? When someone says that, I think of the tv channel

Try using heat on your neck. I have arthritis & use a flax seed pillow heated up in the microwave, it helps ease the ache.

Yes I

second that Diane: I have one of those wheat bags that is like a tube, and it wraps around my neck. I put it on my pillow (or instead of my pillow). I also have two hot water bottles for spinal care.

hmm.. ok.. Accident and Emergency.. ok... here, it's called Outpatients, unless it's an actual Emergency. At the hospital where my parents grew up, it's called the Outdoor. I've no idea why.
