Ranting and overwelmed

[Dvcl]

Feeling very sorry for myself, firstly I had a heart attack then told I'm type 2 diabetic followed up with a extreme case of sciatica which is painful beyond description. So I get told I will have to change my lifestyle ( yes doctor) and have exercise to reduce my risks of another attack, however due to the current climate here is a website to help you with all your experiencing just look and see how you get on. What happens next will I get told to take a couple of paracetamol and get back to them when I feel better, you guessed right that's the best they can do for me coz I've also developed an inflammed liver.

Is this what I've come too due to the current climate.

Had a appointment with gp nurse thursday last and she said tell the doctor so I've got too arrange an appointment to tell him how I'm feeling.

Did you get a list of what you can/can’t eat for liver issues?

[Dvcl in reply to Activity2004]

Got a telephone consultation with dietitian on Tuesday afternoon, however I've changed a lot of what I used to eat. I cut out sugar, white flour only using wholemeal bread pasta etc and cut down on the booze as well. I'm just feeling bit sorry for myself and feeling a bit under the cosh at the mo coz I'm unable to get exercise and do as I'm advised

Thank you for being their. I've got a lot of issues that havent been addressed properly the HA was the wake up notice now it's going to have to change somehow

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Dvcl]

How about walking inside the house and do a few laps? Do you have any steps in the house? You can go up and down a few times a day.

[Dvcl in reply to Activity2004]

The problem feels like catch 22, the pain can be excruciating and is relieved by laying down plus painkillers ( paracetamol) on a good day I can walk for about 10 minutes but get breathless and have to stop. I quit smoking after the HA, gave up sugar with being told about type 2 diabetes. I'm no quitter but it is painful and want break the cycle but am finding it harder to get of my backside and stay motivated.

I'm trying to keep going but am struggling.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Dvcl]

Can you try to do 10 minutes of walking every few hours? You can always rest in between.😀👍🌈

[Dvcl in reply to Activity2004]

Believe me it's not for the want of trying, its brought me too tears

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Dvcl]

Do you have home hand weights that you can use?

[Dvcl in reply to Activity2004]

No but a tin of soup or something similar would do just as well I've heard, will give it a go.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Dvcl]

That's a great idea! Do a few lifts of the soup cans 10 times each arm. This helps also if you have any rotator cuff muscle issues ( long story).

Many thanks for the info.

Going to have to wait to speak with the dietician tomorrow as my weight is a major issue with regard my overall difficulties.
