Feeling under the weather

[newbs]

I've been poorly for 2 weeks now - started just after my minor op, had a stomach bug for 48 hours then was ok for 1 day before I came down with a flu type virus - which has continued and is still with me. Bought some flu tablets but have since spoken to pharmacist as they are specifically not to be taken with domperidone so can't take them, wasted ?3.50 and now back to square 1. I have also lost over 1/2 stone in the past week but have just found out my thyroid is now very overactive so that could be the cause of that (along with not much appetite). BG has been all over the place but understandable I guess. Been high but have spent the past few hours hypo out of the blue.

Looking forward to the next fortnight as I have 2 weeks off work after Friday 🙂 We are not going away but going to enjoy spending time with DH and my girls. Hopefully sunshine (!) and relaxation will do the trick.

That sounds rotten (the illness, not the holiday!). Hope things settle down soon so you can enjoy your break 🙂

Thank you for your reply - I know it was a bit of a pointless post, just feels good to write it down sometimes.

No posts are pointless (except spam!), it can help to formulate how you feel and share it with others 🙂

Hi Newbs I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling unwell. I didn't realise you can't have flu remedies with Domperidone so I've learnt something new from your post. I hope that you feel better very soon and have a great holiday xx

Sometimes just writing something down can make you feel better xx

Thanks. The particular brand I bought states clearly that it cannot be taken "specifically with domperidone" and another medication that I can't remember.

Thank you everyone else too! 🙂
