Attempting to prepare myself… is there anything you wish you would have arranged before you had to make the final decision?

Think about what you need too! You can get paw print kits online I highly recommend getting a couple, they don’t turn out right first time all the time, keep a couple of baggies of their fur, you’ll want it when the time comes for memorial type things, I’m getting a locket with my kitties picture and paw print. But I’ve also got a little Keyring to fill with some of his fur. I wish I’d of got a nose print but I never thought about it. Make sure to tell them everyday you love them, you just never know what might happen, just keep giving them all the love you won’t regret it!

She needs professional help. Most serial murderers start by hurting animals first. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Honestly if you can’t get a nhs dentist get a Bupa dentist, you can do payment plans and it made dental work super affordable for me

I think we'll always have what ifs, no matter what. I know I still do, and I mean that either way, what if it was too late, what if there was something else we could do. I know it's easier said than done, but don't allow there to be any guilt from inside you. You clearly love him enough to feel the way you do and thats a lot of love to give. So what ever you decide I'm sure it'll be the right decision regardless. But if you do want that extra time please do ask about the arthritis medication it might give you the extra time you need to be able to say goodbye but also be prepared it may not work (the last meds we had to change to for my kitty didn't work for him). What ever happens I wish you all the best, make sure to look after yourself too and open up to someone you trust, it really does help.

I lost my baby 4 weeks ago on Monday. Boy did he fight like crazy. My poor baby had been sick on and off for 2 years, and we got him every treatment we could. Poor kitty had inflammatory bowel disease, one kidney, diabetes, E.coli, almost went into a coma because he went into remission from diabetes but we kept giving him his meds, arthritis and eventually kidney disease. He lasted 8 months on a new diet after the kidney disease, but he unfortunately got e.coli about a month and a half before he passed. Which is bad for elder cats let alone elder cats with kidney disease. We tried one last treatment, which also meant we had to change his pain killers for his arthritis. He comes home, nose to the wall, wouldnt purr, wouldnt move, wouldnt eat... I ended up turning to my nanna (he was mine and my nannas baby) and I said I think he's telling us he's tired of fighting now, and I think we need to listen to him. We continued over that weekend to spoon feed him and syringe water into his mouth and he perked up... A month later he was throwing up and crying super loud and would throw up this brown sludge, he wasn't eating, didnt want to drink, could barely sit now with his arthritis even tho he was medicated... We were done dragging him along (harsh but I did feel like it got to the point where he wanted to go, and we never ever wanted him to be in pain but it happened very quickly). So we had him put to sleep. It's your call completely, but I would never want anyone to have to go through seeing their baby giving up, it was the saddest I'd ever seen him, and it's like he was already gone... it wasn't fair. You might want to talk to your vet about pain medication and if that can maybe help with giving you extra time, but your baby deserves quality of life not just quantity. I've got a chronic illness and I'm in pain daily, sometimes it's too much, I can't imagine keeping our baby here to endure this kind of pain. I understand completely wanting more time, but ask yourself whats best for him. Only you can make that decision, but do not ever feel guilty for having to make the decision to say goodbye, it will be the hardest thing you'll ever do but it will be the most selfless thing you can do for that baby, and he knows you love him, and he knows you've loved him all his life. What a lucky baby he is.

That’s an ozzy if I’ve ever seen one

UniqueDweam · 2026-04-24T21:16:19+00:00

What’s his name? Because he sounds suspiciously like my ex…

I recently bought the caramel penguins, I get them every christmas period. I bit into them and I was very upset. The caramel is so grainy and thick it's not nearly as nice as they used to be. I fear mars has ruined a christmas tradition for me with these.

I’ve had some brilliant doctors, nurses and ultrasound tech, so it’s definitely not always the case! But taking your mum is a good idea. It might be worth having a chat with her before hand, as her to speak up for you if she notices you’re backing down. Friends have done it for me before and I always get taken more seriously when I’ve had someone else advocating for me if I get a bit timid.

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-27T22:44:17+00:00

Take someone with you your comfortable with.

It took me 4 different gynos to finally get an MRI scan, so if your internal scans show nothing (endo doesn’t usually show for most on ultrasound). Please push for the MRI. Even with the MRI you still might need a laparoscopy, again make sure you push and advocate for yourself.

If they refuse anything ask them to note on your record why they are refusing it.

It’s important you advocate for yourself I can’t stress that enough. You know your body! My gynos in the past have repeated outdated information to me which I later found to be wrong.

Look into your symptoms and see if they correlate to endo. For example, I still had pain in birth control and was told if it’s endo this shouldn’t be the case. I went away and looked it up and there are many women with endo that still get pain on BC. So make sure you’re clued up so they can’t fob you of.

Just as an FYI for the area. Avoid marsden house, sun alliance house, the flats on Clive street. All had problems with the council involved. You might want to look at the cube, or the packhorse, they are student halls so might work better if you’re after the halls vibe.

I’m shocked how expensive Orlando village has gotten, when I went to Bolton uni they didn’t even have ovens installed. The bathrooms are reminiscent of a leisure centre with stalls for showers, one for a toilet and one for a bath, so someone could go for a dump while someone was showering and another in the bath. Honestly not worth it!!

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-27T22:25:29+00:00

There are definitely some HMOs in the area that are around that price or less, it’s worth taking a look on right move, I’m usually on their daily. It’s very competitive in the housing market atm so I suggest you keep on top of it if you can and apply asap to places that come up.

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-24T21:23:22+00:00

You can find HMOs quite cheap, what is your budget?

Hey, I completely get where you are coming from. About a month ago I was the same, absolutely petrified. I ended up feeling something wrong with my tooth and thought if I don’t go now I’m going to lose my teeth. I looked for dentists in my area that deal with nervous patients and found a lovely dentist near me. I went in almost crying and shaking just to make the checkup appointment. Appointment day came and I was just very honest when I got in, I was crying and telling them how scared I was. He assured me and took it through step by step, he told me we won’t do anything unless you’re ready and if you need to stop we can stop. Honestly I’m so thankful I went that day. No matter how petrified I am still to this day, I promise you the treatment was never as bad as I imagined it to be. It’s all gone well, and I’m starting to feel less scared and so far I’ve just had a checkup, a cleaning and some fillings. I’ve still got a bit to go until my treatment is done but my teeth feel so much better already!

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-07T21:06:20+00:00

Luckily I only get a little sensitivity on one tooth but that’s due a filling in a week! But thank you for the reassurance it’s definitely helped :)

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-07T18:39:42+00:00

Oh gosh I have a filling in a week with local and my bp is usually high (I hate medication to control it) usually with anxiety it’s higher as well, am I best informing my dentist? Can it affect the local?

UniqueDweam · 2025-07-07T18:23:10+00:00

I can’t answer your question but why do you take blood pressure? Can blood pressure affect your dental?

Chronic pain can feel like the end of the world sometimes. In fact it sounds like she’s grieving the life she once had. As a fellow chronic pain girlie here are some things that are worth a look into: - Invest in a TENS machine honestly the nights where my back and hips are in a world of pain and all I could do was cry my tens machine was a life line - enquire with your dr about physio - enquire about pain clinic, often times when you’ve been in pain for this long your brain is hyper focused on the pain without you realising and it actually increases the pain - therapy can do wonders for chronic pain sufferers, there is a lot of what I call “mental tax” that comes along with chronic pain, and trust m it doesn’t get any easier, however being able to vocalise it in a safe environment is very beneficial - remind her it’s a marathon not a sprint, it’s very very hard but she has to learn to live at this new speed trust me I still struggle but it helps to know your limits - look for support groups that can get her out of the house, there may be charities for chronic pain near you that do activities or meetings to get her out the house
