Hi AJ thanks for your message. I too struggle because of Chronic Fatigue and am putting more effort into working out what exercise I can do in small amounts. I have found that exercise in the evening is easier for some reason - a short walk before dinner is do-able. I will definitely have a look at your thread. Thanks again x

Great to see you back Ann 🙂 I'm sure that once you get over the infection you will be back on track with everything 🙂

Hi caroleann, nice to hear from you 🙂 Is it life in general, the hot weather, or perhaps other problems that are dampening your enthusiasm? Let us know if we can help in any way 🙂

Hi,
Not posted since 02.09 due to not having such a good week.
First signs of starting with an awful headcold must've been on Monday evening 02.09 when i went up to bed early. Felt awful on Tuesday but worst day was Wednesday. Appetite during this time has just been to eat things which I really fancy and that wasn't much.
To throw things well and truly I phoned my GP surgery on Monday morning for an appointment for my ongoing cough & catarrh (see below) and was told it would be 2 weeks before I could have an appointment!!
I phoned again on Thursday and was told the same. I asked for a telephone call from the DR and there was absolutely no doctors available. I even said on Monday & Thurday that I was Type 1 diabetic.
On Friday morning I tried a different approach and asked to speak to the triage nurse - we're not doing that system at the moment because we're a nurse down at the moment - i do know it's the nurse who normally looks after my diabetes - she'll be off for sometime as she fell down some concrete steps and broke her ankle in 2 places. I rang again after a half hour ponder and yes I could have a appointment with one of my favourite doctors at 10:00am.
Ongoing cough and catarrh
- I described my symptoms
- it's been going on for several weeks now where I wake in the early hours with a coughing fit and there's also catarrh there but it's clear not yellow
- the doctor shone the torch up my nose and listened to my chest and back
- her diagnosis was that my nasal passages have become very allergied
- I've been given a salt water nasal spray http://www.boots.com/en/Sterimar-Isotonic-100ml-100ml_9333/ which the doctor said won't cure but will help
- I've been given 2 boxes to be used twice a day which the doctor said should last a few weeks

I can't recall when he said the baby was due. Perhaps they're knee deep in nappies by now and have no time for surfing.
