Sounds good!

I have to go out :(

Got an appointment with Nurse Practitioner at 11:55am so leaving in half an hour. It is sensible to get checked out considering I needed 2 nebs last night and I am still having symptoms this morning which is why I am going but I wish i could stay home!

Yeah best get checked out
Hope it goes ok

Well saw Nurse she was borderline on whether I had to go to hospital or not. Nurse is doing her best to keep me out of hospital. Plan is come home have a nebuliser and see how much that helps, see her again at 3:45pm.

Hope you're all being kind to yourselves.

Fingers crossed you can stay home jen

Hey lindsay
How are you?

I really hope so. Nebuliser has helped. Will see how long it lasts.

*waves at Lindsay* hope you are taking your own advice and being kind to yourself!

Hi guys. I hope you're all looking after yourselves. Mass was good, less than 30 people there! I know that's not good for the church but it's good for me. Now I'm sitting down to watch doctors.

Less people are easier to deal with so I get it!

Off out for nurse appointment 2 in 45 minutes or so. Little bit worried I might have to go to hospital as feeling a bit better but not much.

How long has Doctors been a thing, Tamo?

Good luck, Jen.

Don't have to go to hospital hooray! Do have to take steroids :plain: but hopefully taking them will keep me out of hospital.

Doctors started in the year 2000 Lindsay.

Fingers crossed Jen that you stay out of hospital.

Also hello all. I have had a tesco shopping order today and put nearly everything away. Just got mainly the Pepsi cans to put away. Then decide what to have for tea. Had symptoms of low blood pressure so that's why it took me so long. Thankfully I had no frozen food so could take time to put stuff away.

Tonight will be the real test. As asthma is generally worse at night. If I can get through tonight with no ambulances then theres a good chance no hospital as steroids will have had a chance to kick in. Not that they always help that quickly but I am being hopeful!

I heard they changed the recipe of pepsi recently and made it part sugar part sweetners. Which is a shame as it always used to be my favourite. Have you noticed a change Dawn? Hope you feel better blood pressure wise soon.

Yes I heard that re Pepsi. Fortunately I always have Pepsi max so am unaffected. I had low blood pressure yesterday too. Fortunately I am feeling slightly better now after some food and drink.

Well that has always been all sweetners it's kind of the point! I have never got on with the taste of artificial sweetners. Too sweet and slightly chemically.

Glad you are feeling a bit better now. Make sure you check in with medical professionals if needed.

I'm a Pepsi Max person too.

I have heard from the people who like diet drinks that Pepsi max it is the best. Pre sugar tax I always preferred Pepsi to Coke. I can tolerate dr pepper with the new hybrid sugar / sweetener recipe I think because the cherry taste has always been artificial but in a good way so it masks the sweetener taste

I have dr pepper too. I haven't had it since the hybrid thing so hopefully it will be ok. Used to like Dr pepper.

My favourite is diet coke.

I have 'zx cola' from aldi because i can't afford actual coke or pepsi these days XD
They also do a zero orange which does taste exactly like fanta.
It's actually decent. Either that or I'm used to it. It's way better than the budget diet cola or zero cola in asda.

Aldi make the best knock off versions of things.

Just had the ambulance out for my asthma. Was a paramedic I had before who gets FND. They gave me the good stuff (ipratropium) and I was feeling and sounding a load better (plus they know hospital makes my FND go crazy) so they let me stay at home :)

They really do!

Glad you're feeling better, may it continue!

Everything crossed. I felt pretty good after neb number 2 and then things got worse again but I have had the good stuff so might be ok.

Fingers crossed

Morning all.

Morning

Morning!

Steroids seem to have already got me back to going to sleep late and waking up early...

How annoying jen!

Hopefully getting to sleep will be a little easier tonight as taking steroids earlier in the day.

How are you today?

Hopefully! Lack of sleep affects so much

I was feeling better immediately after getting up, but unfortunately didn't last.

That sucks, troll body giving you hope and then dashing it.

I have done breakfast, coffee meds and a bit of admin. I don't nat do so much more!

Yep. My body and brain suck right now

Well done!
Keep an eye on the steroid zoomies

Morning guys. I'm glad you managed to avoid hospital lr.
Sorry you're not feeling great Cacoethes.

Thanks tamo
How are you?

I'm ok thanks. Got my godmother visiting this afternoon. Drinking tea right now.

That's nice :)

It's just started raining here
Hopefully will stop before i have to go out

It's drizzling here. You going anywhere fun?

Well zoomies may be zooming... I phoned dentist and booked a new appointment as they cancelled my last one because their lift broke, but now their lift is fixed.

I also did my sinus rinse, got dressed and put a load of washing on. Now trying to force myself to sit still for a bit as starting to feel it in my lungs. I wish I could have this much energy without it being artificial!

Morning Tamo!

Grey and wet here

Morning lr - good luck with sitting still!

Thanks Tamo I really need it, the urge to do ALL the things is super strong!

How is your day shaping up?

Nowhere fun, just asda and aldi, if i can find the energy.

Wishing you the necessary energy Cacoethes.

My day should be peaceful, it will be nice to see my godmother.

Thank you

I'm glad you have a good day ahead tamo

If my lungs behave I should be roleplaying this evening which I am looking forward to.

I mostly sat still apart from tidying up my old med boxes (peeling labels off and sticking boxes into recycling). And I still did things while sitting still, I updated my to do list and then levelled up my character ahead of tonight's game.

Enjoy time with your Godmother Tamo.

Hope your body cooperates with your tasks Beckie

That's good jen
Roleplaying sounds fun

My body is absolutely not cooperating and i haven't moved

Afternoon all.

Do you need to call GP or 111 Beckie? Sounds concerning that your body is shutting down.

I have blood tests tomorrow, so will see if they show anything.
My guess is low folate.
Called cmht earlier and he's gonna get my cpn to call me, so hopefully that actually happens
