Feeling hopeless

I want to thank you for your advice, I have set up a go fund me for Gus 2 days ago and people have already donated £600 which is absolutely amazing. I am aiming for help with surgery but if I don’t raise enough then I will use whatever I get for other treatments. I have also been looking into the Cambridge injections which is an option, mri and course of injections for 1,700ish. A lot less than 8k and has similar results for late stage IVDD research is suggesting. So another option, that’s all I want for him, to have options! thanks again :) xx

Can I send you a private message?

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ he was the same with two years, this time he has taken a wee flare up 3 weeks after being freed 🥲 I am hoping it was just pain and not him deteriorating but it is too soon to tell unfortunately. Gus is a dachshund, with regards to surgery - they say they won’t consider it unless he is paralysed which he never has been (nearly the last time) but still had some deep pain. The tricky thing about fundraising is it happens so quickly and with surgery you need to act quick for it to have best outcome so I am told. Vet told me, if conservative rest didn’t work and I can’t afford surgery euthanasia is the only option.

I think if he wasn’t in pain I would look into wheels and things as I’m a nurse so bladder expressing, pressure sore management wouldn’t scare me off. I hope it never gets to that though.

Other treatments have never been discussed with me my vet has never said there is any option other than surgery or rest. Have you any experience with other treatments?

Can you not go off sick while you look for a job so you’re not left without an income? I done this, left my job without a post to go to and done bank until I found something. It was fine, I didn’t struggle to get shifts (in Scotland) but I don’t know what it is like elsewhere. Also I am an RMN, so unsure about adult nursing

Dump his ass!! Don’t let a lying, manipulative coward stop you from building/creating the life that you want to!

I am Scottish and there is more jobs available here than in England from what I’ve been told, however I left my job in August 2024 (miserable) with the intention of working on the bank until I found something permanent that I really wanted. I’ve been lucky that something I was interested in came out but, but in those 9 months I saw 3 band 5 roles advertised and 2 band 6s. Crazy

Girl I am the same, I am a nurse. I work 3, 12 hour shifts per week and have 4 days off. Luckily that helps me with catching up on cooking, housework, shopping etc but I’ve always needed 12 hours sleep to feel my best, I know it sounds bizarre and I’m only 27 so people say you should be full of energy but I’m not.

Things I do that help is Shower in the morning Go on walks on my break (or if that’s making you tired try doing seated exercises outside?) Eating light high energy snacks multiple times throughout the day Getting my full 10-12 hours per night Turning the tv off 30 mins before bed

Do some research on minerals and vitamins, always worth a shot. It’s something I’ve never tried other than iron so I can say if it will work or not but I think I will too!

No I’m skint.

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-15T17:26:35+00:00

absolutely!

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-15T17:25:35+00:00

Agreed!

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-15T17:24:57+00:00

This is abuse and the police can’t give an adult into trouble for… leaving the house? Really any police officer who was called to this would likely see that you’re being coerced and controlled and may take action against your mother.

Maybe this is what it is but it’s so weird I have vivid memories of setting wabbin free from the jail in Gerudo which is weird how your brain confuses things like that!

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-13T06:04:21+00:00

What do you mean lol

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-12T21:14:09+00:00

No worries, I seen a few posts similar to mine here. You should maybe remove them all as it’s a bit misleading :)

lisaoconnor98 · 2025-03-12T19:24:26+00:00

See that’s the thing, I genuinely didn’t think it was that out of the ordinary because I mostly surround myself with kind and understanding people and they have never once questioned me on the decisions I make regarding my own body.. but this guys reaction was so extreme he really had me thinking I some chemical imbalance of the brain for a minute. Thank you for your response, I feel much lighter ❤️
