Hope you're feeling better soon.
If you're still feeling yuck in a few days and need any shopping getting, I'm sure your lovely DF would be happy to leave a bag on your doorstep 😊

That’s good you have plenty in meal wise - are your tastebuds working ok? Xx

Thanks Time2count yes you are right DF has already offered to get me some shopping if I need anything. The only thing I fancy is chocolate or ice cream 😆

Some things taste ok SQS but others are a bit off. Water tastes horrible. I’ve just had a fajita spiced chicken wrap with natural yoghurt, cheese & watercress. The natural yoghurt tasted horrible and the watercress was tasteless. But the chicken tasted nice. 

I don’t feel hungry but I am making myself eat as otherwise I may feel worse for not eating due to my diabetes. All I fancy is cake or chocolate or ice cream 😆 Had a couple of hours sleep this afternoon and now laid on the sofa watching the Chelsea detective which I recorded. Feel dreadful. Counting down to next paras 💊 💊

Thanks jwil 😊

Really bad night. Went to bed at 8pm and dozed off. Woke up thinking it was morning but it was only 11pm. 😂 Phoned GP at 8am got a phone appointment. Prescription for throat spray to local chemist & DF collected it for me. Free prescription but about £5 for sugar free throat pastilles. Both completely useless and throat spray agony. Chemist told me to wash it off & phone GP. Clinician had been called away from GP so no one available, ring back tomorrow or call 1 1 1. Have been laid down resting all day.

DF is going shopping for me tomorrow have included crisps and ice cream on the list. Hopefully the salty crisps and cold ice cream will help. Am breathing ok just this extreme sore throat & GP advice as long as I can eat 15g carb I can continue with my diabetes meds. 

Breakfast = 1 wheetbic softened with warm milk
Lunch = mushroom soup 2 x 9g carb bread 
Dinner = 2 chicken thighs plain, roasted with butternut squash chips, courgette & yellow pepper if I can manage to swallow it. Otherwise I will freeze it 

Hopefully feel better tomorrow 🤞

Oh no SYA  - extreme sore throat sounds AWFUL - *this is not medical advice *  when I’ve got a sore throat I like to wrap a scarf around my neck 24/7 and also pop a heated pad or one of those microwave hotties on my throat also. It seems to make me feel a bit better if nothing else. And my dad swears by honey and lemon in a hot drink. *None of which is medicinal* 

worried about you - everything 🤞🏻 you are 1st in the phone queue tomorrow - pls let us know how you get on with getting a GP appt. 

Really hope you feel better soon xx rest up and hope the ice cream soothes xx

Hope your throat improves, that sounds horrible.

Thank you SuzeQ and jwil 😊 

Feeling a little better in myself today. Took paras at 6.30am then fell asleep and missed the doctors appointments when I rang at 8.30am 😕 have found the paras seem to have kicked in a bit and although it tastes disgusting I have found I can swallow natural yoghurt and the cold of it eases my throat a little. I am currently sipping warm tea which is soothing.

Glad you are feeling bit better but don’t do too much too soon eh take it easy xx
