I do hope that you feel better soon.I had to turn my heat on the other morning because I was freezing inside,I guess that means fall is among us.I love to look at all the trees outside when they change color.good thing my underwear dont change color lol .Here's a hug for you i hope it helps hug

Thank you Carol. A hug is really nice. I've still got an awful cough that is making my insides hurt every time. I've been taking Naproxen to help bring the swelling down. I'm feeling really rough too.

I know cold can take a lot out of a person,when I am sick I can hardly stay awake all I want to do is sleep,I hope you feel better soon.

I'm not feeling good at all. I'm having to sleep sitting upright because when I lay down I start coughing. I have to go out to my therapy today and it's a bit of a walk. I bet that walk will make me cough so much as well. I'd like to phone them and not go but I don't think they would believe me.

 

[XmasCarol52]

That is just so uncomfortable when u have to sleep upright it makes you feel worse.I did something to my shoulder because I can feel the muscles contraction I had the same thing last year makes it hard to sleep because I sleep on that side it is arthritis,can be very painful but i got two tyelnol i can take for that ,I can feel it in my legs to around the knees,

 

[janemariesayed]

That doesn't sound too good Carol. Arthritis is so painful. I only have it mildly in my right hip but the pain is sometimes unbearable.

Every day my cough is weakening although it is only a little bit. I can feel that it is getting ever so slightly better day by day. The cough has made my insides feel like they are red raw and it really hurts when I cough just a little bit. I'm comforting myself by telling myself that it will pass.

Years ago we used to die of this illness. The flu or a cold it used to kill people. I've not taken any meds really and I think it's amazing how our bodies have built up resilience to these things over the years. (I mean centuries!)

Back in the 1800's they didnt have any meds the only thing u could do is eat chicken soup and get plenty of rest.then of course they had no electricity either can u imagine no electricity ouch?WE would be losts

I had to cancel my appoint mentioned today. When I was walking out the door. . My heart was beating out of my chest and I couldn't breathe. I 'm ashamed to say that I let it get the best of me. When will I stop letting go this mental illness win? I feel so ashamed when I do. But, I can't help it. How can somebody have such a strong physical reaction to sone thing as simple as going to a doctor that's 20 minuts away?

 

[XmasCarol52]

Please don't feel bad about canceling I had a very bad day myself I called my primary doctor about some meds she never called in when I went to see her about three and a half weeks ago well she wouldnt give them to me she claims she has to see me first I said no and i told them I just saw them only a few weeks ago and I am not going out again i cannot take this bull sh-t going to the doctors every two weeks is getting to be very stressful for me and she knows I have anxieties,I told the nurse to talk to her she never called me back is the doctor so lame and stupid she cant remember that I only went to see her a couple of weeks ago i went this long without i guess i will have to wait until i see her again I am so mad,where do these doctors get off saying we have to see them every single time we need meds?I think it is more like they want more money in there pockets ,I am so fed up with doctors I do not trust any of them,then they wonder why I fear them so much i just cant go and get into a car when they want me to I dont need any surprises she could have given me my meds since I was only there.I have totally had it with dociors and there stupidity. She never did call back well I hope she gets ill or whatever and the same thing happens to them. I just wonder how these doctors would feel if the same thing happened to them,I am sick to death of those quacks.

 

[Concernedgal]

I so agree with you. You are so right about doctors and medical professionals wanting to fatten there wallets. We can't keep doing this. We should be able to make a phone call and get a refill after the first initial precribed prescription. If we need it... then why do we have to go to the doctor and spend more money in order for them to tell us again what we already know. It 's bull ****.

 

[XmasCarol52]

You got that right so now I will wait until my next appointment,I just don't get it it is not like i wasn't there for a year there excuse was since the bottle was filled a year ago i need to see her again duh like i said i just saw her on Aug 3 and you are so right it is bullshit,Whoever made up these crazy laws that u have to see your doctor in a certain amount of time so you can get your meds are assholes they probably never got sick a day in there life,what do they care about us?It just makes me more anxious and mad when they pull this i had a feeling this was going to happen when this was her fault she was told to order those meds when i first went to see her and she didn' t.We both know how hard it is just to go out and have to see a doctor,when they said I needed to make an appointment i totally lost it,i got very shaky i didnt yell just was shaking like crazy no thanks to that doctor,someday these doctors will have the same thing happen to them and lets see how much they like i t?It is nonsense that u cannot get your meds when u asks for them..

When I lived in Egypt they used to tell me not to eat fish, tomatoes or eggs when I had a cold or flu. I kinda believe them too as one of the things they used to make was meat soup. Like the chicken soup, you suggested that they had in the 1800's. I made a big pan of it as soon as I realised I was sick and before I was feeling too rough and then I couldn't eat it. I gave it to the dogs in the end. I only had a bowl full. It does work though. Meat soup with onions, garlic and veg make you sweat it out and it clears your head for a while. Not only that but it's jam packed full of vitamins.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Every day a little better. I do actually like the mental feeling I get after being sick. When I start to feel better again I get and feel a new lease of life.

Forgive yourself @Concernedgal it isn't your fault that you have this illness. Some people have physical disabilities and some people have mental disabilities. Those poor people with no legs don't feel ashamed to have to be wheeled everywhere they go, and how can we tell how they are feeling?

You did the best thing to stay home because it could have been dangerous to have gone any further. Don't feel embarrassed, another time you will probably make it there without any hiccoughs at all. You have made it there before now, and you will again. Some thing may have set you off before hand. Were you worried about the appointment? I'm sending you loads of love and the biggest hugs ever. You are lovely and you really have nothing to be ashamed about.

Glad to hear that you are feeling a little bit better.One time I ate chicken soup my face ballooned up and i was having the runs I think it was food poisoning but it wasnt in the fridge that long only a couple of days,I can remember my mother making me go to work to one time when I had the hershey squirts so bad I finally had to leave the job and walk all the way back home it was a long walk but as soon as i got home it stopped,Maybe it was from that ice cream I ate.I love chicken soup with rice my mother use to make it all of the time but not anymore ,she wont even cook anymore unless it is toast or something,who feels like cooking when u r in your 90's,

 

[janemariesayed]

Ha haaa! Isn't that just sods law that the squirts stop when you get home! Just so typical. I had that one time and couldn't get five meters down the road without having to run to the bathroom. As I worked in catering I had to phone in sick.

Does your mum get meals on wheels? Bless her. Sometimes I get so low that I don't feel like cooking. I'm feeling better though from this flu or cold whatever it was and the day before yesterday I made cakes and some Viennese biscuits. I want to make some bread but I'm still coughing a bit so I'm not going to put the effort in yet.

It may well have been the ice cream. My problem is I get a bit finicky with ready made food. I don't know if the person has sneezed or coughed or touched their conjunctivitis eye, scratched their head or worse. It can happen. Then again, the chicken could have turned as it may have been frozen and thawed out before you bought it.

My Sasha (since passed) had her face baloon up as big as a football. The vet didn't know what it was and it went down thankfully she was okay. She had eaten spices and fish that day so now I don't give my dogs any kind of fish or spice, just in case.

 

[XmasCarol52]

All I can say is the chicken put me in a FOUL mood that day lol
Yes my mom does get meals on wheels they do have a lot of fish,they say fish is brain food but in my case I just don't see it lol.Some thing is really Fishy about that.I love seafood my favorite is baked stuffed shrimp and lobster,McDonalds had those lobster rolls for a little while I got two of them they are so good.The only thing that balloons on me is my big fat butt lol,I am full of it today arent I??
Do you like maple candy? I love it .My friend got me some maple cookies they are so good i think i will go and make a cup of coffee and dip some in the coffee.
We are suppose to get a huge rain storm.No thunder just rain.Ugh no outside for me however I did manage about three hours today,Monday is a holiday so that means I will be alone for two whole days,no one to talk to here,At least I got my family here sister.I love you and a hug
