Hi All, Still on the UP

Hi everyone,

Not been on for a while, been so busy. Its so good to be able to do something and not feel exhausted or depressed.

Still have this problem in my throat and finally doc has referred me to ENT specialist (only taken 9 months - still this is the Isle of Wight lol).

Had family over for their hols. This time I was able to play with the grandchildren on the beach and go for walks, push the pushchair which was brilliant.

Still petrified I might catch an infection and be back to square one. So if I hear or see anyone with a cold or cough, I run a mile. So desperate to keep my life.

Im off to a slimming group this week, put on a stone with all the steroids over these months with no exercise. Dont want to be lugging round extra weight with all the problems.

Best wishes to all, hope you are all on the UP x

PS. For those who are new to this blog. It certainly saved me - you are not alone.

2 week stint every month for 9 months. However, if they had given be the correct anitbiotics in the first place, I would not have needed them. Now I suppose I have to look forward to brittle bones !!
