I seldom get anything like the bonkers cough and catahhr I've had but there's been two viruses going round here. One more like flu and not too long lasting and the other straight to the chest and lasting for weeks. Hoping you and your hubby feel better soon. xxxxx

I have a lung condition related to RA and find the best is Doxicycline which does seem to work well. I think it might be expnsive hence not used often but try asking if you GP has considered it next time.

I've just had a week of those and very effective. Boy did they make me nauseous though.

Oh no you poor things! I hope this lot sorts out your chest. Roll on spring when hopefully we’ll all feel a lot better. These winters are just an endurance test....

sylvi in reply to Someonesmother

Thank you darling,i don't think dh will be going far today,i will have to go and get the allotment and get the carrots for the weekend.xxxxx

Someonesmother profile image
Someonesmother in reply to sylvi

Oh are you well enough for that? Is there a friend or relative that could go for you? Sounds lovely though. I live in a townhouse with not much of a garden to speak of. Mind you I couldn't garden if you paid me as I can't get up again if I get down hahahaha Just call me the beached whale!

sylvi in reply to Someonesmother

It will only be a case of pulling them up and they are so much nicer than shop brought ones and perhaps the fresh air will help blow the cobwebs away.xxxxx

Someonesmother profile image
Someonesmother in reply to sylvi

Yes home grown is always much more flavourful than cold storage shop stuff. Well take it easy as you have been ordered to by your Dr. Look after you or you will go backwards in your recovery.

sylvi in reply to Someonesmother

These carrots were late going in the ground and they are so sweet to taste so i will suffer a bit to go and get them. I will wrap up well too.xxx

Be careful and pace yourself. You don't want to go back where you were recently.

Me too, I wish I didn't have to do winter at all I really hate it. I love the long days and light mornings, and warmth of course.

Oh bless you both! Your hubby has been such a champion looking after you.. sending him a cyber hug and one for you as well. I am slowly getting better.... did a little grocery shopping with my son driving me. Used my trusty cane... it really helps even though it makes me feel ancient! Both feet are sore now as I put a lot of weight on my left to save my right. I lay on the bed too tired to ring anyone but ran through all the things I am grateful for. And thougth about all the support I got over the last few days from the lovely people on this site.

xxxx Get well soon dear Sylvi

Sylvi, you have inspired me. I have paints and will make my walking stick a fashion accessory. Way to go! Xxx

Sylvi. Thank goodness you are being cared for by doc. Take care me dear. We are having last if my grown carots this weekend. Rosie I do the same. Im right back to basics and being grateful for what I have. Its 10.41am and im still in bed as when I move I feel like im pushing against syrup. I will get up after reading all of this.

Take care both of you.

rosie1928 in reply to Ruth12345

Yes it really does help to be grateful. My son has a back injury and cant work but it has been a blessing for me as he is always here to help me or drive me to and fro. I think I would have had to go to hospital with the gout attacks if I lived on my own.
