Burger and chips so nothing healthy but it made a change from sandwiches and cake =)

Yay, I'm not alone then Tamo =P

Morning everyone!

When I need to distract myself, I prefer the book. Only the book should be interesting and exciting so that you don't feel like eating because of nervousness or boredom.

Morning! Welcome to the thread Beatrice :)

i often use audiobooks to distract myself, very rarely fiction though so not sure any of my suggestions would help

I now realise I misread the post :laugh: ignore me

Morning all.

How's everyone doing?

bored and researching medications as I dont think mine are working, probably shouldnt be researching myself but, you know, bored





how's you?

I'm shattered. I don't know what they gave me with my morning meds but it's knocked me out! Which is unusual because i have a high tolerance to all meds!

Has anyone got any plans for today?

I suppose it's better to have an idea of what meds there are and what they do.

Meh, I'm cuddling the cat on the sofa and trying (not very hard tbh) to think about what I should be doing today.

Ninja Beckie. Was it the diazepam? O.o

Probably the diazepam!

Have you got much to do np?

Laundry and shower and wrap a birthday present and clean the kitchen and clean the shower and start tidying the garden... =/

Fun times!
Good luck on your quests!

there's probably something i should be doing, no idea what though

I'm starting with cleaning the shower... ick.

I'm just doing some laundry today
Not much else going on!

Hello all.

Hi dawn

today is dragging :laugh: like seriously dragging



i've semi tidied the living room, got the slow cooker slow cooking, and been binging on Orange Is The New Black - never watched it beofe but everyone else seems to have watched it so I started it yesterday and it's a relitively good distraction

Well done Hazel!

I really like orange is the new black

i am liking it so far, wasn;t keen n the first couple of episodes but further in I've gotten the more I'm starting to like it.



THink I might go for a walk

A walk sounds good!

I like walks but I've just been running on the spot in front of the TV most days.

I am hoping to go for my weekly walk around the park at the bottom of the road tomorrow.

I might go for a walk too. Can't decide if I want to or not... but could combine it with a food shop. Hmm...

I'm going to walk round the car park when it's fresh air break

Scenic =P

When's that going to be?

Very! :p
It's at 4 so not long to go!

How was it?

My walk was nice.

I didn't get to walk because staff wouldn't let me put my shoes on :plain:
But i did go outside!

Glad your walk was nice :)

I hate shoes




least you got outside even if it wasn't very walky

True!
I would have just walked without shoes but the gravel is very sharp and spikey!

They have confiscated all my drinks because i have low sodium. Not happy!

How does coke zero affect sodium?

I think it's fluids in general. I have to restrict all fluids to 500mls i think they said

Oh, weird o.O

Have you been drinking too much and flushing all your sodium away?

(Proof of my top notch medical knowledge right there)

Haha!
I probably have tbh!

I've had low sodium before and felt so awful i needed IV fluids so I'm just glad it's not that bad this time!

Off to bed now.
Nighty night everyone :-D

Night night. =)

you need one of those rehydration packets that you are meant to use after dyareah, diearear, dhyreear, ok... how the actual hell do you spell that?

Morning guys!

Ninja post Hazel!
I can't spell it either :p
But yes a rehydration pack would be good

my point was meant to be that sodium is an electrolyte, and those rehydration packs are full of electrolytes and are literally designed to rebalance peoples

Ooo now you are ninja posting :P

Morning loves

Hi everyone :) how were your nights?

Not great, feeling pretty groggy and low this morning.

How about you guys? what are you guys up to today?

I would have thought they would have something like that Hazel but they do not.

Morning Luna and tamo

Sorry you're not feeling great Luna *hugs if ok*

I'm not doing a lot. Probably will need another blood test as my clozapine blood results are red again :(
As well as low sodium!
What is wrong with my body?! This never normally happens!

Could you order lucozade sport (not the energy) with your next drinks order Beckie? It's supposed to be good for restoring vitals especially after diarrhoea.

That's a good idea Dawn!

oh, lucozade is a good shout!

I found this thread in first aid it might be useful. Basically it says what I am saying try lucozade sport or similar sports drinks.
