Long weekend retreat for Fibromyalgia-2

Well for those like myself that love a bit of DowntownAbbey... This gorgeous building has some of its yester year and history...
Not the same heritage as it is but....never the less this gorgeous grand two storey mansion,occupying a corner in East melbourne was designed in the archaded  italianate  style in 1878 an then in the year 1900 converted to a hospital.

So next to the lovely dedicated staff here...they all appear very lovely and compassionate, so I'm really happy with that...
The process was initially quick to begin with...bloods taken immediently,iv bung in place ready in place to go,ecg was done,blood sugar levels taken,urine specimen taken....it seems they were very particular...so I was very happy...
Then....left to rest.......and rest...and rest...was wondering when was it going to really going to get happening....Finally after what I have to say was an amazing ....see I truly am in a resort!.....
I even have a photo for proof....

Pork fillet wrapped in pear and prosciutto,broccoli florettes,Lemon and herb olive oil....yum yum....and gluten free....




So back to the other real things.... The iv drugs were set up...
Metheylprednisolne.... this was going through over the next hour, then I would be able to have with stop...walk around...then reconnected to another dose before the night was through.
Within moments my arm had a sharp stinging, burning and redness travel up My arm,with precision and efficiency from the team around me...
It was soon rectified....the dosages and drip slowed..and the slow process continued....
Next....I was given some phenergan...and I began on some endep...
Nearly all the girls in my fibro group take endep... But they still appear to really struggle..

Anyway...it's a new medication for me...so so in combination with the iv therapy....
Will see how things progress....
Day 1 of my fibro retreat...
F is for.....Phenergan???????!???????(I will question this tomorow)
