I know what you mean. Im just recovering from an infection. I had no energy whatsoever for a fortnight and the stairs were a nightmare. Just begining to feel like exercising again this week and I`ve got to gradually build my endurance and strength up again. Normal people complain about shortness of breathe during chest infections, so its ten times worse for us. When you haven`t been using your muscles for while you lose power in them. It does make you feel good though when you get a bit of get up and go back especially when you are so ill with an infection you do wonder if you will ever get any better again but we do.
I m not long out of hospital, 2 weeks IVs and oral ABs, prior to going into hospital, 4 weeks of feeling rubbish and two Weeks ABs from doctor.
Been home a week now, and again I have a very sore lower back which has now moved up onto the middle of my back with a slight discomfort of left chest.
Sputum is very thin and occasionally light green.
Don't know if that means I am getting another infection ( already ), thing is my nose and throat are sore and excuse this, The bogies in my nose are yellow / green and slightly thicker.
I will give it another week and if this feeling persists, then of to the GP.
I don't want to break into my self medi ABs just yet as it is too easy to say "just pop the pill and it will go away.
That's the fine line I find hard to recognise, when to say, I actually need them or just take them just in case.
Thanks Wes ...haha im stiff as board this morning but im dertermined got to do twice more before he s back on Friday. Have good weekend love Judith xxx
Oh how I miss riding. I was born in love with horses, nothing smells as good as a horse. This was the hardest of all things that I had to give up. Keep working and even if you can only work in a small ring go for it... good luck.
