Wild clematis  by beryl

Wild clematis

I found this lovely bush covered in seed heads in the Medical Centre's car park when I went for appointment with the GP this morning to discuss some of the tests results - things are complicated as I am on so many different medications + now diagnosed with thyroid problem - and have started on medication for this - it will take time to adjust to the correct dosage and I hope then I shall feel more " with it " !!
So lovely to still enjoy a beautiful Autumn !
Wow - I've never seen clematis like this before. Very cool :-)

This is an incredible climbing plant. Iā€™ve never seen these incredible blooms on our clematis! Once your thyroid is under control you will feel so much better! Hope it doesnā€™t take long to settle on your correct dosage.

What a nice clematis!
Oh Beryl, thyroid problems are awful. My partners' thyroid in the end had to be 'killed'. He's now on Levothyroxine for life. When his thyroid was overactive, it took a long time to get the balance right, and after several weeks it would change again. Also the weight gain/weight loss, feeling so tired, restless. It's really not nice. I feel for you!

Lovely shot. Hope your health problems get sorted soon.

@overalvandaan Diolch yn fawr Saxa - I have just started on a low dosage of Levothyroxine to be reviewed and perhaps increase in a few months etc etc ! - the tiredness is so immense at the moment !

Maybe like the wild clematis is how you have been feeling. Hope you feel better soon.

Great capture of such an interesting looking plant.
October 24th, 2018  
Cool textures!

What a beauty this is! Never seen one like this. Once your doseage is sorted you will feel better. Iā€™ve had an under active thyroid since I was 34 & I take 150g of thyroxine daily. Just be aware that the range of ā€œ normalā€ is quite large & if you have a good doctor they will medicate to how you feel & not to a number that says itā€™s in range. Because we donā€™t know at what level we used to run at when all was normal, itā€™s trial and error to get it corrected to where we feel back to normal. Hope you feel better soon.

@carole_sandford what Carole says is so true! It seems to run in the family too!

Great close up of those nice Clematis seeds.

Wonderful capture and details and the seed heads are very pretty is this Old mans beard I wonder. I hope you will soon be feeling a lot better on your new medication Beryl.

What a fabulous plant. Hope it doesn't take too long to get your thyroid problems back on track. I had my thyroid removed about 20 years ago because I had 24 tumours on it and David had Graves disease so he had his zapped. we are both on thyroxine now.

How fabulous , hope all settles for you.

Lovely clematis Beryl. Hope you get your thyroid sorted. Takes time to tweak the doses i think. Friends daughter has problems. You take care now x

@carole_sandford thanks Carol for your reassuring advice - it seems to echo the Dr's advice of putting me on a low dosage to start with and testing till we build up to the right dosage

@onewing -thanks Babs - I feel so out odf sort - lots of little twitches and NO energy - sleep seems to be the onlt thing I am good at at the moment !

@wendyfrost Thanks for that , I just couldn't remember the common name for the Wild clematis ( Old man's beard ) yesterday ! thanks for your good wishes

Beautiful capture and so well-focused. The first thing I do when I see something like this is to gather some seeds and try sowing them in seed pots. Very often I get negative results but when those that do start growing they give me lots of satisfaction.
October 25th, 2018  
Such a beautiful flower. I do hope they get the dosage correct soon and you feel better.
October 25th, 2018  
Very photogenic old man's beard - I knew this name long before I knew its 'proper' name! Good luck getting the medical problem sorted - hope it will not take too long.
October 25th, 2018  
@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel -- these med problems are a hinderance and I am not the most patient person - I want it sorted straight away !! The old man's beard had completely evaded me yesterday although like you it was the name I had always known it by !!

Lovely details and capture
Beryl I do hope things settle for you soon, I have found getting older no fun whatsoever.
October 25th, 2018  
Love the photo...fav. Thyroids run in the family, so hope yours is sorted soon.
October 25th, 2018  
This is lovely. I never knew there was a wild clematis. I do hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself Beryl.
October 25th, 2018
