Bugs!

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.
