I’m not ‘boring’. I’m English.
Yet Another Diagnosis
Asthma
Apparently that’s what I have now.
And this time instead of doing tesst’s we are confirming it the House way – by treating it. So I have two different kinds of inhaler things to juggle along with my pills and… oh… I really am beginning to feel like a walking pharmacy.
And I am knackered again.
So, sorry for the short burst but sleep is where I am at.

Testing…

First days at work are always very interesting. Trying to find the right level between happy chatty and serious minded professional… It’s tiring. I went to the doctor’s today and have a thing which I have to blow into twice a day to see my lung capacity/breath thing. I don’t know. I blow into it
The Right Doctor

When I finally arrived at the hospital (after the damned bus didn’t show up) I felt sick to my stomach, memories of the last time I was here flashing through my head like a ‘Previously on Hospital Visits From Hell’ – the humiliation and the sense of powerlessness. I felt like running, but the empty

As you may know I am, well, a bit of a sap. I cry at most movies and TV shows, mobile phone commercials, songs, books, the sight of a plastic bag blowing in the wind (well, may be not so much that but you get the picture). Today on the luckiest day of the year
Within Normal Levels

It was another doctors appointment today. Fun. My Potassium levels are low but GOOD NEWS cats and kittens, my blood pressure is now within normal levels… Hurrah. So, interesting conundrum. Do I keep taking the medication that is bringing my blood pressure down, but is making me tired and miserable and bleurghy. I mean, my

What a night, huh? Congratulations America! President Obama – its got a good ring to it. Anyway, surprisingly that’s not what I’m blathering about today. I spent a second day in bed. I went to the doctor and got me some CLASSIC advise. Me: I’m feeling wiped out, massively tired, knackered – you know, not

Oh lucky me. Today I got to go to the department of the hospital we all love to go to. The one at Royal Preston Hospital is pink. All the way through – the floor, walls and woodwork – different shades of pink. It’s enough to send you over the road to the Mental Health
Day Today

So, yeah, get on with it shall I? Short version mostly because knackered doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel. So, doctors today. Went, waited for a bit and then got my results. Chest X-Ray – All normal. Blood tests – All normal. That’s right. Not so much as a slightly elevated hormone. So,

I went to the doctor’s today. I know, shocker right – I actually kept my appointment unlike (so said the accusatory poster inside) the selfish 327 who didn’t causing another 327 to not have appointments at all. Yes, thank you. Guilt ridden we all now feel. Not that I have ever EVER made an appointment
Scary Words

I have great respect for doctors and nurses. Great respect. Particularly those who work in the NHS. Far too much work for bugger all pay. Treated like crap by those in management and whined at by most of the public (yes, myself included). I just thought I’d preface this post with this so that people

As a fellow asthmatic, I sympathise. I find fish oil and drinking a lot of water helps (as well as the inhalers), but check with your doc as some people are allergic to fish oil. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Selma – I am entirely sceptical about the asthma diagnosis. The doctor who diagnosed me is the practice’s asthma specialist and it is his go to theory for everything. If he is right and the treatment works then colour me giddy as a schoolgirl… but… Thanks for the advice. Fish oil? Really?!
