After many delays I finally get to pick up my new car on Saturday morning :)

Of course it's not /really/ mine as it's a motability one but hey ho I'm still looking forward to getting it.

although I bet this heat wave breaks just as I test the aircon ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope everything goes okay with the new car dilli and your aircon will be fine.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If it gets too cool to test out the aircon just wear a couple of woolly jumpers dilli. :D

a new car every 3 years dude that is better than owning a car lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Normally we would get one every three years yup - but we've only had the current one for 18months.

They let us change early as it keeps breaking down.

I'm just looking forward to playing with all the gadgets ;)

I'm trying to keep positive for the new appointment for pain management, hopefully this one goes a lot better than the last.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Good luck Peanut.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good Luck from me as well peanut. I hope this new guy proves better than the others, from what you have said anything will be an improvement on the other ineffective incompetents.

have you tried cannabis ? I know it is illegal and all that but it is meant to do wonders

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The research.

The medication.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got back, and thanks all the posts above. :)

Actually, cannabis has come up in past pain management meetings, and it could be something I could try.

Anyway, the appointment went well, he reviewed my notes and states I need to be seen in more detail, with pain management physiotherapy for joint pain (arthritis) , back (due to Crohn's and posture), neck (which is a mess), kidney (PKD) and Crohn's pain. Also pain management psychotherapy to help with depression and help deal with living with pain. On top of this he shoved a needle in the top of my neck / base of a the skull which hopefully might help with headaches and bone pain, some steroid thing, but got to do the other side in a week or 2. Quite a strange feeling, like biting on cotton wool feeling when the needle goes in. It wasn't as bad as it sounds.

Anyway, he listened to everything I had to say, and acknowledged that more should be done but unfortunately there isn't much in the way of medication that they can offer now as I'm already on the big guns as far as pain medication goes. So cannabis could well be an option.

Feeling a bit sore but mainly very much relieved that it all went as good as I hoped.

it seems such a shame that the only people tapping the Cannabis gold mine are criminals. It grows naturally it has beneficial effects and it chills people out. Obviously I am not talking Skunk which is just THC meaning is has a psychoactive effect I am on about natural weed like Thai like we used to get in the 80s/90s
