Take care KK.  Hope you start to feel better soon.

Thanks all. 

I have survived the week …

The neuralgia was becoming utterly unbearable and as the mushroom cream didn’t arrive on Tuesday morning (it still hasn’t - I need to chase that up!) I took myself into town at lunchtime to a place called The Apothecary Shop (honestly 😊) and bought some mushroom capsules. OMG … earache and neuralgia almost gone within 30 hours of starting them! Remarkable. Still struggling a bit as am very tired (guess that’s what being ill for a month does …? 🤷‍♀️) However, I am not feeling as bleak and am feeling a bit more functional. 

- Managed some handweights and chair squats this morning but no walk at lunchtime due to the wild weather round here. 

- Broad beans are germinating! 🤩❤️🥳🎊🎉
- Work have given some things that my friend chose from their website for free! A wash sponge on a stick, a grabby thing for picking things up and a toilet frame. So pleased by this 😊
- Haircut tomorrow for the first time in 4 months due to Mr KK’s disc rupture being the day before I was last due to get it cut - I feel like a sheep! 😂

Nothing spectacularly MSE to report - just thought I’d check in 😊

Glad you got something that worked for the pain.  Hope you have a restorative weekend 💐

WOW!  I wonder if I should get some of those capsules......I've been told that the stuff I'm on for neuralgia is addictive and so have been trying to wean myself off and waiting to see if I get any of the horrible pain back.  Might try the Holland's shop or one of the other "green" shops.

Oh, I didn’t realise you had it too. So many sympathies. It’s absolutely grim!

Which mushroom tablets are they, just gone down a rabbit hole on Amazon ……

Relieved for you the grimness has subsided. Don't go straight back into doing too much exercise or activity, being ill is only the first half of your body being knocked for six, you have to allow it the second half of recovery and getting its affairs in order after the extra workload too!

Chaga, not sure if you can get them on Amazon? Haven’t looked.

You are right, but for the sake of my mental health I really need some outside time today …. The forecast tomorrow is dreadful so that will mainly be a sofa day 😊😉

Sympathies @brie    Maybe see if there is a health food store near you for advice?  The independent ones often have trained staff which H&B often do not so the initial advice might be helpful as, after research,  I found different mushrooms do different things (in the body that is)

Hope you manage to get fully recovered soon. Have fun over the weekend.
