More tired than I ever thought possible

[BaronC]

Yep, exhaustion has overwhelmed me. Fighting endless bouts of laryngitis and tonsillitis and it's all become too much where the old lethargy is concerned. Oh, and every other night I don't appear to be able to sleep. Aren't brain injuries fun...

You poor thing Andy. Hope you've got antibiotics & pain-killers to see them off, plenty of co.codamol should help. Maybe you need a vitamin boost to get your immune system in fighting mode.............I'm just guessing really, I'm as hopeless as the next person when it comes to infections.

When I was poorly just before Xmas, I had a little moan on Headway and all the lovely replies were heart-warming..........I felt like I'd been 'wished' better..........hope it works for you too !

Love & best wishes Cat xx

Hi Andy, I wish you well from center parcs, Whinfell forest, we are having a much needed break, the first one just me and hubby alone in 25 years, so I'm feeling very lucky at the mo.

We're in a lakeside apartment and it's amazing, so quiet and peaceful.

So I'm sending you feelings of calm and well being, catch them as they come your way.

Love Janet xxxxx

[BaronC in reply to Kirk5w7]

Oh wow, very nice too! What the hell are you doing fussing over me when you should be enjoying yourself? Toddle off and enjoy your break! By the way, thanks, and have a great time x

[Kirk5w7]

Thanks Andy, I have my iPad with me and when I open it it automatically takes me to my emails, that's why it seems like I'm always on this forum

You are welcome though xxxxx

[BaronC]

Go on then, I'll let you off, just this once x

[Mikesghost]

I went for months with only a couple of hours sleep a night, it was sheer hell. My doctor persuaded me to take an anti depressant and gabapentin, they did the trick and now I rarely have a sleepless night.

[BaronC in reply to Mikesghost]

I take 1600mg of Gabapentin three times a day to combat my epilepsy. I should be asleep permanently really. Hey ho

[Mikesghost]

I wont insult you by suggesting you speak to your GP, you've no doubt already done that.

[sospan]

Its funny, colds, coughs, sore throats never used to stop me working or doing much now post-injury anything like that knocks me for a six.

Hope it resolves soon

[Kirk5w7 in reply to sospan]

Me too, I was told I'd be susceptible to any illnesses doing the rounds and they'd hit me for 6, great isn't it, I get paranoid if I'm out and about and I come across anyone coughing or sneezing!

Janet

[BaronC in reply to sospan]

I have to agree, it seems to take an age to 'get over' minor illnesses now
