Hi Guys, hope you are all well and avoiding bugs. My lovely grandkids, who don’t usually give me bugs, have got me this time! Had 3 weeks of cough, temp, etc which is extremely slow in getting better. I also needed a venesection in early January, after blood tests for suspected appendicitis, showed a raised HCT! Sorry, just feeling sorry for myself as I’m crawling along with fatigue now too, probably as my iron levels will be low again.
I hope you are all avoiding bugs and keeping as well as you can be. Kindest regards to all Aime xx😻😻

Oh Aime, sorry to hear you have not been to good, that’s the problem when the grandchildren get coughs and colds we can so easily pick them up. I have found that when my grand kids are unwell I stay clear, as much as it hurts me to do it, I find it’s the only way, so far so good.
Hope you are feeling better soon, roll on summer don’t like this cold weather.
Sorry to hear you are suffering and hope you feel better very soon Aime.
Maybe something for next time but I have had 3 occasions over the last couple of months where I started with sneezing fits, runny nose, rough throat etc, normally means a bad cold is trying to get hold and I bought Vicks First Defence from the chemists. I used it on the first day of these signs and it disappeared.
Did not run this past my Doctor but as far as I can see it had no effect other than stopping the nasty cold virus in it's tracks.
Hi Aime , sorry to hear that you are unwell and suffering so much from the dreaded fatigue. I hope that you feel better soon in the meantime try to keep warm and look after yourself. Hugs from Ireland.
Hi aime, sorry to hear about your constant bugs. I have been using 1st defense, there's a couple of makes, boots, bricks. Bf has had a couple of colds that I didnt get, also friends. Sadly all family babies very far away, but will be seeing some next week so fingers crossed. Be well
Hi All, thank you so much for your replies. Apologies, I was just feeling sorry for myself. Watched a kids hospital programme last night and kicked myself up the b...... and I now know how lucky I am! Hope you all avoid bugs as much as possible, I will get some of that First Defence today.xx
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. Hope you have your appointment for your venesection. This has been a difficult year for many bugs. Stay warm. Sending ehugs xx
Thanks Eleanor, yes blood is off and of course I’m a bit anaemic now. Feet up now as had fun with grandkids in snow. Hope you are well. Kind regards Aime x😸😸
