Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all you festive finger prickers. In the 6s at last, 6.5! Got an unexpected babysitting day today, good old grandma to the rescue, something to do with transporting sheep or something, anyways we have got the Lady Sadie for a few hours, wonder if my Christmas tree will survive a toddling 11 month old? 😱
 
Predictable steroid-fuelled 21.4 this morning after a night spent planning a bathroom refit so I can sleep on the toilet and be connected to the tap.
In total awe of how my body copes with cytotoxic drugs and trying to rid itself of sugars.
Going for lunch with friends, making the most of the steroid high and anti-sickness meds lol.
Have a good day all xx
@Bloden hope x-rays are positive x
 
Morning all. A 9.6 for me today. 2 more days of being a lady of leisure before I start my festive job at M&S.
 
Good morning 9.8, pauses 😱. My right hand decided to swell up in the night, no rhyme or reason can`t use it fingers won`t bend, very painful :(. Had to get a neighbour to test my levels he is a testing T2 thankfully so its left hand typing only, good fun :D.

To anyone with an appointment today good luck, best wishes.

Everyone else have a good day 🙂.
 
Good morning inmates🙂

I went to bed on 6.1 and woke up on 7.1. The trace showed a bit of a lift during the night, so an extra unit of Levemir in the evening methinks.

BetFred are offering evens on a hypo in the night tonight.:D

Tree decoration this afternoon. Definite PIA, but I suppose it has to be done. I’m more of a New Year celebrant, to be honest. More significant, somehow. Then it’s birthday on the 4th. Back in the day, I would only be completely sober for about 12 hours from Christmas Eve till Epiphany:confused:

Anyway, I’m off to Royal Preston Hospital neurology tomorrow morning, for EMG studies. Used to do that to dead frogs in Biology classes. I think CIA Special Ops designed the kit they currently use.

So, I won’t be around much tomorrow. If I don’t appear on Friday, it means I’m likely in Guantanamo Bay. 🙄

Have a good day, everyone.🙂
 
I’ve managed to put off tree decorating until the eldest lands here on 22nd <smug>

Good luck for tomorrow 🙂
 
A very restless night. 3am excruiating painful cramp at the backs of both my knees ~ then it spread from my bum down to my ankles aarrgggggggghhhhhhh! I was beside myself and all I could do was writhe and sob. I took a Quinine Sulphate tablet to ease the cramps but it took what seemed an eternity to have any effect.

Anyway good afternoon folks ~ 7.6 for me today.

Thank you Northie. I'm wondering if the cramps were an after effect following my physiotherapy yesterday, who knows?! Both my legs were slightly dodgy afterwards too, felt like they were ready to collapse. Will see how things are the next day or so. It's catch 22 ~ physio to relieve my back pain then another health issue presents itself. Ah well, I'll grin🙂 and bear it for now:(

Thanks Ljc. I hope so too. I've had night cramps long-time but this episode deffinitly was the worse I've ever experienced. I know @Amigo suffers terribly with cramps so I can both appreciate and empathise with her.

It’s horrific WL and I’ve had very few cramp free nights for over 4 years now. I’d never take Quinine Sulphate however and in the States it’s only recommended by the FDA on prescription for malaria. Too many undesirable side effects. It would cause my platelets to crash if I took it.

Magnesium helps a bit plus plenty of water and keeping your legs warm.

Thank you Amigo. I recall we discussed Quinine Sulphate some time ago. It was initially prescribed by my former GP several years ago with advice to take one at night and subsequently its been kept on my repeat scripts ever since. Mindful of the side effects, methinks its necessary to consult my GP or Pharmacist now. I've enough health issues without contributing more to my list! I do drink plenty of water throughout the day but I most certainly will give Magnesium a try so thank you for that hun.

I trust you are now feeling the benefit of the Antibiotics. Constant coughing is debilitating and saps our strength so I send my get well wishes that you feel better soon. Take care x
