Hi @Determined@Shaz51@Former-Member@outlander we literally just arrived home an hour ago after a long drive all day interstate .. it’s soooooo good to be home - we both really really need space and peace and quiet - ahhhhh ....
the trip was a success tho - MsS has positive interactions with her parents, siblings and nephews / nieces ...it was just the constant headache that hampered her ... we are off to go first thing tomorrow to get results of ct scan of sinuses and more pain relief to get her through to neurologist appt 9th Jan ... I hope they can shed some light !! I won’t get my hopes up but it can’t make things worse anyway ...
my health is improving which is great - nearly rid of throat infection so thrilled 😁 ... now I just need to brace myself for going back to work Wednesday 😞

Hi @Shaz51@Determined@Former-Member @outlander...sounds like you all are having a hectic start to 2019 - wishing you all a bit of relief and self care .
Ms S is still in pain with headaches and seems sinuses you be one contributor - she is off to get ct sinus scan results tomorrow ... we are also preparing to go on a 2 week international cruise starting later next week so I won’t be online from mid next week until end of Jan ... we are going with my mum and a cousin and have separate rooms so hopefully will be a relaxing time ..

Thanks @Former-Member@outlander@Determined@Shaz51 for your support in 2018 - it has meant the world to me and made a massive difference in my resilience
This year is shaping up to be one requiring more patience and resilience ... had to take MsS to gp again this morning as migraine headache last night and she woke up in tears at 3am in pain and feeling sick ... neurologist is this Wednesday. In meantime gp has given pain relief for the holiday and said to make sure the neurologist gives us a plan A, B and C for treatment of MsS ongoing headaches migraines ... the sinus ct scan was clear which is good - another cause eliminated - tick ✔️
so now Ms S is in bed waiting for pain relief to help
Based on the ongoing headaches and migraines I suggested MsS doesn’t take on any new commitments of work or study until we have it improved - she is in pain more days than not and I feel that starting a job would be a set up for failure right now ... so this means being even more careful with money so we can live off one wage ... I think this discussion relieved some anxiety for Ms S about the new year and expectations around her study/ work plans...
Ms S asked that i take her for walks every morning on the cruise so she can build up her mobility as she has been quite sedentary with the headaches since early November- so this is a good sign of trying to help herself
question - how do others advise their bipolar II partners re work / study commitments ?? Any advice ??
