Hello

Day seven on the meds today and don't feel great, don't mean mentally I mean physically. Headache, the back of my neck feels hot, and my joints are aching more than normal, quite a bit more, today first time I felt tired in seven days, the constant weeing has stopped thank good and the weight lose seems to have peaked as the nurse said.

Is this normal?
 
Had my biggest keeping active day yesterday, now you know I've got mobility issues so this was really a tough day for me.

Got a train from Kent to London and had to stand in one spot for the half hour journey all the way. From being dropped off at the station I had been walking or standing for three hours, watched the football then a big walk from the stadium to the train station again the half hour home standing all the way again

Really did take a lot out of me but felt great when I sat down last night 🙂
 
I love eggs and was told if you are using the gym eggs are really good for you because of the protein value. Today I read that people with diabetes should limit the egg intake but it doesn't say why, they are very low in carbs so what am I missing?

Where did you read this Ian? I can't think of any reason to limit eggs. Many people on this forum eat them on a regular basis.
Maybe it's that hoary old myth that the cholesterol in egg yolks increases your cholesterol. We are recommended to keep an eye on our cholesterol levels
 
I googled it as I was wondering how many per week was acceptable and it was in one of the answers, never heard of it before

We have our own chickens and get about 20 to 24 eggs a week. I use them in omelette, poached eggs, frittatas and waffles on a regular basis plus hard boiled and egg mayonnaise for summer salads.

Tried swimming but where I've got right sided weakness, I can't swim in a straight line

Sorry I’m a bit behind on this thread but I’ve never seen a rule at my pool saying you have to swim in a straight line. My swim is a bit wonky because of nerve damage in right arm but you soon work around it.
