Di Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I would avoid using the tezemapan and prozac at the same time, I think they could react badly together, If you see your GP he or she could maybe adjust your dosage and refer you to a councillor. Do you have a really good freind who you could moan to or come to see when you and Tom are at the hospital? My GP gave me them together, I just didn't take all of the Temazepam. I don't have anyone to turn to, Its just me and Tom . There is only Toms Nana but were not that close. Di, you're amazing to be coping with this at all, don't appologise for needing a little support Thanks Ms Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I am sorry to hear that Di..but you DO have friends here. Has the hospital got support groups and someone who can be with you? ...they should be able to find a befriender for you.....you need to adopt a granny or an aunty!

Emma_B Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Di, does Tom have Respite Care at all? If so, is it at someone's house or at a special centre? Because the staff at places like that might also be able to put you in contact with people who could help, either professionals or even other parents who have been in similar situations. This often is really good as it means you can support each other. I know at my work, we all appreciate that talking and listening to parents is as important as the children at times. I really enjoy it, as well. Maybe someone who knows Tom might be a valuable person to talk things through with. You should never feel like you are a burden, you are very important and deserve as much help as you need to get through this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he goes to a respite care unit, its called Chancet Wood, its a great place, Tom has been going for 8 years. He is home a week then he goes, away for between 1 to 4 days. I just feel like I moan to much to you all. Yeah erm I talk to Chancet sometimes. Yeah erm there is not that many DMD boys/teens in Sheffield that are living now. There is only 3 or 4 apart from Tom.

Emma_B Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Oh Di, you shouldn't worry about moaning to us - we don't mind! I don't think any of us would want to think of you feeling lonely and depressed, wothout anyone to talk to. I know I want to help as much as I can, even if it's just as an ear to bend! I'm sure many other people feel the same. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Awe bless you Emma. A huge thank You to everyone who has taken the time to help me tonight. It means more than words can say. I hate when Tom is in bed. As if he is up I have to be strong for his sake!!. I know it's going to be a very, very hard emotional night tonight when he's in bed.

Do you have a really good freind who you could moan to or come to see when you and Tom are at the hospital? That is really good advice, these drugs dont get along very well, you will end up feeling unwell, And at the moment Di you need all your health to help you through this hard time. Go and see your GP, they will give you a alternative that would help you, as prozac takes around 11-14 days for it to kick in. You are a very brave person, and your a single mum, that alone is a struggle. Without everything else, please go and have a chat with your Doctor. All the best.
