suzeanna Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Candy has a bed in the kitchen, the conservatory, the computer room/library (sounds posh, was the small third bedroom!) and our bedroom. She prefers a sofa and our bed! That sounds awful Blackmagic! Is it the same as Meniere's? I know that sounds to have the same symptoms. Hope he's really over it now and it doesn't come back, and you have no more incidents with the car. Yantan, I've read of quite a few campers being stolen, often right off the driveway, I hope theirs is well secured. I might give the CBD oil a go. It gets chilly standing outside the back door inhaling what drifts over the fence from next door! He must spend a fortune on the stuff, it's pretty much every night.

Yantan Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The new bed is a special orthopaedic bed for old dogs. We just wanted to make him super comfy. He'd rather sleep on his sofa but has trouble getting up on it and won't use steps. He will now accept a bump up from one of us which he wouldn't before.

suzeanna Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Any good? When we lived in Sussex our cottage was down a long winding driveway with conifers at each side. No street lights, no neighbours. Watching horror films made me jumpy for days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 bohemian rhapsody is out, lewis was going to take me but as i know the ending, id be crying, so hes buying the dvd when it comes out it makes me cry more because when freddie mercury died, lewis was in hospital with suspected menengitis, 3 children had already died since he was in there, so i was terrified he was next.

blackmagic Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 My arthritic retriever prefer to lie upside down on a hard floor. Head to one side, front paws the other way, and back end the same as the the front end. It looked very uncomfortable for a dog with arthritis in her spine but that was alway how she lay so it must have been comfortable for her. I put down rugs for her to walk on the laminate floor and she always walked round them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Labyrinthitis has similar symptoms to Meniere's disease with the dizziness but with Meniere's disease you also have tinnitus and hearing loss. My mother was one of the first to be diagnosed with Meniere's disease. She was seen by Professor Black when he visited from Canada with his theory. Hers was caused by a very bad case of mumps when she was a teenager, which damaged her eardrum. She had suffered the symptoms for years before Professor Black came up with his diagnosis. At one point they said it was all in her mind and gave her electric shock treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Electric shock therapy is horrific...my nan had it for schizophrenia, my dad had to sign the paperwork and it broke his heart...he could only go by the medical professionals advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 think it was used for all things then. it is ruddy awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 My sister had the shock therapy too. Can't believe such barbaric treatment was so commonplace just 20 odd years ago. Still don't know if it saved or ruined her life though, I suspect both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yes Eve...I don't think it helped my nan and it is awful it was still used so recently.my nan was much better with medication as long as she took it...her son doesn't do so great but he refuses medication a lot and his sister has to work her magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted October 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Morning. I always was very wary of electric shock treatment but Carrie Fisher did say she wouldn't have been able to function without it. I wouldn't like to be in a position to have to find out for myself. I'm finally getting my flu jab tomorrow. I had to hold off whilst I was on the steroids. The last time I had flu was over 30 years ago. I remember it so well because 1. I felt so ill with it and 2, being unable to sleep I watched the Lockerbie bombing unfold on TV throughout the night. Anyway I never want to have the flu again. Fingers crossed. I remember going to see the original Halloween at the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
