Hi ccl, I don't post much but I do lurk, I'm sorry you're feeling so rough and absolutely agree with foxgloves, you must rest and look after yourself, maybe even take the rest of term off so that you can be fighting fit for the new year. Don't rush yourself, sending lots of healing vibes.

Hey CCL, when you next see the dr, ask if they have a deal with one of the slimming clubs - either s/w or w/w, some NHS trusts have a deal with them that lets you go for the first 3/6 months for free. By then you know if it is a plan that will work for you, and if it fits in with your lifestyle. Something to think about for the NY, but not until you are completely well. No point keeping a food diary over Xmas. That would just be daft. Concentrate on self care and 5 a day.

Get well, and I hope you feel much better very soon.

Your kids need to see you getting better. Cut yourself some slack, you are only human.

Make sure you drink a glass of clear fluid every hour -flushes the antibiotics into your kidneys and the bugs out .especially important with strong antibiotics

Take care xx

Just wanted to say that I’ve just done this with Slimming world and my local council. It was really easy.

Oh you poor thing. I had it go to my kidneys once, emergency GP put me on the wrong antibiotics for the bug I had and it was 2 days before my own GP phoned me up and said, 'How are you? Dreadful I expect. Would you like some drugs that actually work??' Only time I actually thought I might die.....

Repeat after me...'I must put myself first', then have a glass of water and a nap. Repeat at least every other hour!

God I am miserable today. I am still in pain, I'm still beyond exhausted, and that utter buffoon has been voted in with a massive majority. I am devastated that people are so daft that they fall for lies time after time. Still, there's nothing I can do about it - although moving to Scotland might still be an option for the sake of my children.
Also have ds off school - he has a temperature and a bad cough. We were up for much of the night and are therefore both shattered. However, Calpol has worked its magic with ds whereas co-codamol and antibiotics are not much touching the sides for me. I feel rough - but I suppose I feel better than I did a couple of days ago. I seem to have the choice between sitting/lying down and having pain in my back and being up and about and feeling quite sick. Some of that could be mental sickness. The community I live in is certainly not going to benefit under a conservative government at all. In a purely selfish way, I think I will be ok (just about) but I am way more concerned about the bigger picture.
So, plans for today are to continue to sleep as and when I need to. I had thought I would wrap presents, make biscuits and rocky road and maybe catch up with paperwork etc - but I'm nowhere near any of it. The most I've managed is a huffy phone call to ds school after I got a rather abrupt text about the fact that he wasn't there and I hadn't told them why. :mad:
