Group 7-day waking average?

[adrian1der]

It’s a very common side effect according to the leaflet in the box.
I don’t cough usually so I’ll keep an ear out for that.

Did you take yours A.M. or PM ?

I’m thinking maybe take it bedtime but there’s no guidance as to when is best to take it.

I have the cough....I take mine first thing

Good morning everyone my tweaking is beginning to work. I did go up to 12.8 around midnight but no corrections and I woke up with a 5.2 house special which I’m very pleased about 🙂

Big congrats on your HS Amanda xx

 

[ColinUK]

So I’ve taken first dose of both and I’ll add them to the morning pills going forward.

And if I get the cough I’ll flag it up to the GP.

Mr Eggy expressed his disappointment that a 3.5 year old prestige car with 21k on the clock should have this problem. They are going to contact Jaguar to see if they’ll ‘ contribute’ to the cost! We’re not happy.

@eggyg you can ask all you like about the injectors its very common for them to seize in their location,
this doesn`t only apply to Jaguar but all vehicles with similar set ups including commercial. Injectors seize
because the injector and the cylinder head are made of different materials and expand and cool at different
rates due to the extreme heat that part of the engine reaches. They will not put an inexperienced person
on a job like that and there is a special tool for withdrawing the injector, the first stage is to soak it in penetrating
fluid and leave it, then the tool is connected and the process of removal begins usually two technicians will
perform the task. There is a danger of the injector breaking but is more unusual these days, as the injector
hopefully lifts more fluid is applied and a gradual removal of the component will take place to a satisfactory
conclusion.

Honest John will not tell you any different and I won`t be surprised if Jaguar makes a contribution to the repair.
Trust the garage @eggyg as a dealership they have to maintain a high quality of service to their customers or
lose the franchise.

What do I know 55 years in the business specialising in fuel injection systems petrol or diesel.

By the way 7.6 🙂.

Take care stay safe folks, {{{HUGS}}} to @ColinUK.

@ColinUK I've never had the ramipril cough, hopefully you won’t.

@KARNAK every day is a school day 🙂

That’s exactly what we said. The new injector costs £200. The labour costs could run into the £1000s if they can’t remove it! Why should we have to fund something that’s down to bad design or inexperienced mechanics?

Son says, if it’s on online forums, JLR are probably aware, because they do keep an eye on them, and if they aren’t aware, they normally like to know about issues, so well worth your garage contacting them. (I’ve PM'd you).

@KARNAK Thanks Ted

I have the cough....I take mine first thing

I was amazed at hw it instantly stopped when I switched meds. Worth asking

I’m an on-off comfort eater @ColinUK. I hadn’t done it for years until I was perimenopausal (is that a real word?!) in 2019. After a couple of months of comfort eating and feeling miserable, I realised that every time I binged I felt worse afterwards. This seemed to help me stop the comfort eating - that is, the realization that using food to make myself feel better was actually making me feel worse. This realization helped me stop my erratic eating. I’m just mentioning it cos it might help you. It seems like nothing, but it’s been a major help to me. 🙂

Thanks Ted. That makes me feel better. They made it sound such a difficult job and hinted it could cost £1000s! Horror stories abound in forums about them snapping or breaking them. It’s soaking now and they will be in touch on Tuesday. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Well done on the HS although I was worried that you’d had to twerk to get that! Should have went to Spec Savers! 😛

 

[eggyg]

I no longer worry about needing help to manage cholesterol and BP. I have enough to do with other stuff.
Just a thought: A very common side effect of Ramipril is coughing. I was started on this and took it for quite a while, not even noticing that I was gently coughing most of the time. We met up with my brother who within a day asked me if I had started to taking Ramipril as I was coughing so much! I switched to another option and stopped coughing.

Mr Eggy came off it for that reason.

Afternoon everyone, please forgive me for not posting everyday. Another 9 this morning, went to the GP surgery for another blood test. Then thought I would do some gardening, but the sun disappeared. Nothing much to report I am sorry that feeling so down makes for poor company. Take care and hugs xx

I take Ramipril at night on advice from doctor who said it can make you sleepy. I coughed a lot at first but since losing some weight it has improved.

Morning all. 6 today which I think is my lowest figure of the year. Surprising really as ate mostly rubbish yesterday as was a stressful day. 1.5 hours talking to Pension Wise and I slowly lost the will to live, followed by a phone call with one of the pension providers who frankly gave me none of the information I required, dont know how I stayed being polite. Then a phone call with Virgin where they took 35 minutes to answer but at least I got a result with them. Was so stressed. Needless to say no housework got done.
Anyhow today is another day. Meeting daughter for a walk with the dogs and then have to contact the other pension provider and find a financial advisor - deep joy!!
Have a good day all x

Sue, I generally avoid giving unsolicited advice. However, 20 odd years ago I received the best ever advice regarding investments, financial advisors etc, that I’ve never forgotten.

The detail is too boring, but I sat on a charity finance committee chaired by Tom Frost who’d been the CEO of NatWest Bank when it was the UK’s largest clearing bank. He went a few times a year to Chequers for a weekend to advise Margaret Thatcher. We had frequent presentations from UBS Wealth Management about their latest schemes to earn an extra ¼% on our investments - all mumbo jumbo and Tom sent them packing.

When Tom retired from the committee he took me to one side and said, “Don’t ever agree to anything you don’t FULLY understand.”

Your pension is extremely important and you need to fully understand any advice you’re given, however hard it might be. There are too many scammers about. Good luck.
