Today I have a blank screen thing going on. It’s really yelling at me, and the distraction is causing me to lose my train of thought.
I have had trouble all day. Keeping thoughts in my head. Concentrating. Producing coherent sentences. I, who can talk for Britain, could not form sentences today without really thinking about it.
Everyone around me found it funny… jokes about ‘can I have some of what you’re drinking?’ abound. I just took it all in my stride and started to worry a little more.
Now, repeat after me, ‘Oh, shut the hell up!’
I am boring myself stupid with all this so you guys must be ready to pound my head with a cricket/baseball bat.
Part of me wishes I could forget about it for a while but being breathless after climbing two flights of stairs or a brisk walk is horrible for me. I used to have lots of energy - more than this anyway - and I weighed a lot more. I KNOW I need to lose weight but I am already dieting and can’t, physically can’t, exercise until oxygen starts being processed better by my body.
It has taken me 1 hour and 45 mins to write this post.
Oh, thank you seriously for the support and advise you have given to my brother. He smiled shyly and muttered, ‘That’s cool’ which is huge for him. He is getting advise from the Job Centre and is checking out his options.

I can relate to the blank screen disease. Still, I shall continue churning out posts every day. Sure, it’s like spitting into the Grand Canyon and expecting a flood, but hey, it really is all about me.

Karl - All about you? I think maybe I should put some more of me on here… Bravely step into the unknown and all that?

OK, I’m going to play doctor now. I am anaemic and one of the symptoms is breathlessness, particularly after exercising. Have you had your iron levels or Vitamin B12 levels tested? If both levels are low (or even one is low) you will become breathless. Sometimes I puff away like an old chain smoker and my friends look at me like I’m the least fit person they’ve ever met.
I hear you about the blank screen but in my case it’s the blank brain. Having an attack of vagueness today.

Selma - Had yonder test for anaemia and it came back negative. Iron levels and B12 levels were both ‘normal’… My breathlessness is pretty much constant at the moment. If I stand up too quickly I have to wait to catch my breath before I move. It’s really bloody annoying!
Thank you for the suggestions though. Between us all we will figure out what is going on!
