Well, been a bit silent because i have been so ill, Pleased to say i feel a lot better today tho.
Fell ill whilst in the isle of wight last Monday, so we all came home early, i thought i would feel better being at home but i seemed to get worse, i took my emergency antibiotics and steroids but they did not seem to help, My partner got scared and rang an ambulance but it seemed i was having a panic attack because i could not breathe!!!!
Anyway, managed to get an appointment at the doctors, walked in, sweating profusely, tired, SOB,almost to the point of collapse. first thing he said was that i looked really ill, who was with me!
He upped my steroids to 8 a day and changed my antibiotics - pleased to say that it is now almost 2 weeks and i am starting to feel better at last.Still tired and SOB and could easily fall asleep whilst typing but i slept uninterrupted all night last night ( first time in 2 weeks).
Ah I thought as you had not been posting! Glad your feeling a little better it's part and parcel of life and I am sure it gets you down as it does me. We are all here for you, Take care and rest Val x
thanks Val, It hit me like a ton of bricks this time - so did the bill everytime my other half went shopping - lol -
So sorry that you had to leave the IOW. That is where I live. I have had my antibiotics changed and been given a longer course of 10 days plus steriods 8 a day and seem to be slowly improving. I didnt have any of this breathing problem till I had a bad bout of flu last year and this is what is left which doesnt seem to go away !
Hopefully, you will be back on the IOW for another holiday. Plenty of oxygen in the air here.
i LOVE isle of wight and go at least twice a year ( sandown/shanklin) but, for some reason, i became really ill, i think it may be because it was during that week of really hot weather. and like you at xmas i got a flu - to be honest just a tad annoyed coz only been back at work for 3 weeks and was so happy!!!
I live in a small village called Adgestone just outside Sandown. When your over again must get in touch
definately xx lunch me thinks xxxx
have recently been thinking about moving there xxx
So sorry that you were ill on holiday - my husband was hit (and so was I) by some sort of bug about two months ago and he we was so ill. Wishing you a speedy recovery. TAD x
i first became ill in december Tad and it took months for me to get to a stage where i felt i wanted to go back to work - what a mistake - 3 weeks later became more ill than before.
i am feeling a lot better but still SOB, but at least i feel more human.
hope you both feel better soon - its horrible being so ill
