Group 7-day waking average?

Have you had a diagnosis of what is causing it? My chiropractor says mine is a rotator cuff problem - though I do suspect that it might be the fact that he straightened my crooked pelvis (due to a self injury during Pilates) which was causing leg pain and apparently there are muscles that go from the pelvis to the opposite shoulder. On the other hand yours might be a rotator cuff tear or tendonitis. You need a CT scan to diagnose exactly what it is. Apparently there's an op if it's a tendon tear. On the other hand it could be frozen shoulder which is more prevalent in people with diabetes. Apparently accupuncture is very effective for frozen shoulder.

My shoulders are painful all day and it's been going on about 3 months now.... I find it really hard to lift my arms even as high as my shoulders. Left one is worse. Supposed to be seeing the chiropractor on Friday, but having got Covid I think I should rearrange the appointment.

That is really helpful thanks, I did have rotator cuff issues many years ago and this feels different. I can raise my arms OK. I am a church bell ringer so over the years have done plenty of repeated raising and lowering the arms, maybe it is wear and tear because of that. It is both shoulders.
It got worse a year ago when I was having to use crutches because of the knee injury but I haven't been to the doctor about it, I really need to and get it sorted out. I have been concentrating on getting my knee better.
 
8.3 when I woke properly (and jumped as I had slightly overslept...)

6.2 just before breakfast 2 hours later
 
Morning all on this nice day.

9.8 with a fairly straigt line overnight (went to bed on 9.5 after a late dinner). Is it the infection or is it a seasonal change in basal that's needed??? Might do a +10% temp basal tonight.

@Robin , sorry to hear you also have Covid. I'm feeling much better today after 2 days of streaming cold, so hope you feel better as quickly! I think that the infection rate is on it's way up again, but hopefully it's a much less serious condition now due to vaccinations and possible mutations.

Eeek though at not having the Autumn booster for 4 weeks. I didn't know that, I had rearranged for next Monday.

@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS.

@ColinUK I think 44 is spectacular given what you've been going through. Very well done.

It mentions it here.

COVID-19 vaccine

NHS information about the COVID-19 vaccine, including what the vaccine helps protect against, who should have it and when, how to get it and side effects.
www.nhs.uk www.nhs.uk
Apparently they ask you, as well, when you go for the jab. I think it’s something to do with an increased risk of heart problems.
Edit. I can only find stuff about a risk of heart inflammation in children, who should wait 3 months. In adults, apparently you get a better immune response to the jab if you wait, and meanwhile you’re protected by the natural antibodies your body has just made.

Fuse for kitchen sockets in work has gone just when I was trying to toast bread and heat my soup for lunch. Fortunately the microwave had heated my coffee already, but cold spinach &coconut soup, yum...
 
@ColinUK. Fab result, well done!! I love the thought of the agent with his badger in the car, its really made me giggle!!

@Robin i hope you feel better soon.

@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS.

I've read through all the posts since my breakfast one this morning and it feels like i have clicked "care" emoji on so many!! Everybody, i hope you are all ok, feel better soon if you are feeling rough, or just generally have had a good day.

Ps. Wordle in 5 today. I got 3 greens on the second go but there were too many options.
 
@Bloden @Pattidevans thanks for thinking of me

im doing OK thanks but not used to this being on my own all day malarkey so feeling a bit lonely but not using the net much to interact with people as trying to be careful with money and of course devices requite charged etc

Friday was a busy day as we had an electrician in to replace a smoke detector and I'd also reported the shower last Monday and asked it be fixed Friday so although jt wasn't on the electricians list yet when he turned up he said as it would probably be him he'd just connect the shower there and then, also had an aerial engineer out to put an aerial cable into the living room, I'm not used to Freeview so finding it difficult to get anything I'm interested in watching, there was also a plumber turned up to fix a leak, the leak had been fixed on the day of the queen's funeral so no idea why it was still on the system!

Anyway that's about it, nothing exciting sadly xx

A good thing to keep yourself occupied are jigsaws, I did loads when I was laid up with my knee.
There is still often nothing to watch even with hundreds of channels.

Since my eylea injections and lasering I can't focus on something close to me as I can see spots and it makes me feel very uncomfortable

My go to channels at mums were Alibi and for the last few weeks the Christmas film channel so really missing those xx
 
@Kaylz Do you have a smart TV? If you do, then check the app store. You might be able to get BBC iPlayer, All4 and the ITV catch up and find some box sets to watch

No we don't and we don't have WiFi or broadband either, just our phones and a WiFi dongle for my laptop that I'm not getting a very good signal on here xx
 
Sounds like you need a DVD player and to find a stash of DVDs then! If you're happy to have secondhand DVDs they can be picked up fairly cheaply
 
18:34 BS 8.0 Getting better! 🙂

Just up after a few hours of sleep after 2nd day of +2, 86 Tresiba at midday & apart from the odd high reading, 17.6 after one meal from under bolusing by -8 or 2 lots of 4 units when I anticipated too early the increased basal taking effect, I’m getting better control through MY day as well! 🙂 Once tomorrow’s 86 Tresiba goes in I’ll have a much better idea & less NR tweaking for another 4 days to see if I need more basal?:confused:

Now, for some breakfast while I watch ITT on iPlayer. Just watched episode 7 of House of the Dragon earlier this morning just before going to bed after midday meds & basal! Things are REALLY hotting up & blood was drawn as it’s gearing up, I’m guessing towards the end of the season? 😱

We have a DVD player I'm just not interested in the huge collection of DVD's Bruce has (I don't do Westerns etc) I don't do second hand due to my contamination OCD even avoiding touching things my mum etc has touched and I don't know if I'll be entitled to money any longer until the end of the month so anything I have has to be put towards my slightly strict eating, gas and electric and other essentials, I can always go to sleep if I get too bored xx

Did a fair amount of writing at various points yesterday as things were rattling around in my head and I wanted to get them out and on paper. Then segued into reading and amongst other things was reading some of the lower carb cook books that sit on my kitchen bookshelf.
Threw together a lovely beanless chilli and then followed that with a rhubarb and ginger crumble. With custard of course.
So quite happy with 6.3 this morning!

Got some admin type stuff to do this morning and then working this afternoon.

Have a good day folks!

The beanless chilli sounds interesting

It’s basically chilli just without beans!
Onion, carrot, meat, tinged tomatoes, spices and seasoning. Stir it all together in the slow cooker and leave for 6+ hours.
I like mine fiery and thick so added a little cornflour at the end.
