Keep calm and carry on....

Poor you SC - I am also a head in the sand type (I thought my premature labour with DD was just a little tummy ache and have had multiple lectures from my autoimmune nurse about my relaxed attitude to relapses).  

Take care of yourself - it can be a big emotional shock being properly ill for the first time as well as all the physical stuff.

Blooming heck, SC! I hope you get better soon and look after yourself! ❤

Thanks Jessy 😀

Gosh SC. Just catching up and what a rollercoaster. A new job (Hooray) , but then a health scare ( boo). Hope you are looking after yourself and are back on the mend soon x

Thanks Busy_Mee. Yes, it's a bit like buses, you spend ages waiting for something to happen, then several come along at once!

Hmm... not such great buses though! How are you feeling today?

I'm just hoping there's not a third 🤣! 

I'm feeling a lot better thanks Vix, I can walk much more normally now (which I demonstrated excitedly to BF when he delivered my shopping yesterday), although my foot still keeps getting darker fairly soon after any time it's not elevated. Struggling a bit with the side effects of the tablets (face very flushed, I've come up in a rash, and feeling quite hot - I got swabbed for Covid as a precaution when I was at the hospital on Thursday, so definitely not that!), but they're all listed as common side effects. I've got a follow-up call with the hospital next Saturday so will discuss with them then. The dosage drops down in a few weeks, so hopefully things will ease off then. But mostly, I feel good!

Glad you're feeling better. The side effects sound concerning though - I'd speak to your doctor sooner than that. As the level of medication increases in your system, they may worsen/add new ones - so don't delay like you (apparently) usually do! (Hate to say it, but you could also have picked up Covid there and the temp be related to that - unlikely, but not impossible!)

Sorry, I'll stop being bossy now!

South_coast

I'll see how I feel tomorrow 😀
