Wednesday tlc

* went back to bed for a while, finished book, and did some relaxation while having bad fatigue this morning
* went to library and stocked up on more real books and audio books.
* briefly stopped by supermarket to grab the things I forgot to get on Tuesday
* stewed another big pot of pears
* made a big pile of potato / celeriac / pea mash to tide me over for a few days
* put pigs out to play
* tidied pigs' house
* started layering compost etc in a new veg bed

Next up for me is a bit of exercise, and then dishes (if I can stay awake long enough) and bed.

No wonder I've been feeling so tired lately: I think my sinusitis is coming back. Been having bad headaches for the last 36 hours. Fortunately I have two doctors' appointments next week, so *maybe* I'll be able to get some help for it.

Have a good day, everyone.

Ivy.

ps. How are your babies, Inflamed? Was the doctor able to help?

Ivy so sorry the fatigue has hit you so hard. I have been a bit fatigued myself of late, of course I am still battling the bronchitis some, so that could be the culprit in my case. But I tell you it really can get to you after awhile. Then having CD along with it only makes it worse, especially with every med the doctors have given me only upset my stomach. So haven't even been able to finish antibiotics. Just hope it doesn't trigger something more in me. Yesterday I had to fight tears all day as I just felt so rough. Big hugs Ivy!!

No big tlc's for me today really. Think I will just try to go straight home after work, to rest up a bit. Hugs all!

Good for you Sera!! I know its not much, but it tends to make us feel a little better. Welcome to the forums and our daily tlc threads by the way too:) Hugs!

hey guys,

Well badminton horse trials are over, and it was AMAZING! The weather was fab, and i only got alittle bit burnt cos iwas slapping the sunscreen on like it was running out of fashion!
The aslt two days were abit rubbish as my mate threw a diva-esque strop of epic proportions cos i couldn't/wouldnt chase round the 4 mile cross country course. So she had a right face on her. I just got on with it, and i had a great time! Although i have made the decision to not invite her to come next year.
I got back to mum's OH's place monday night then me & mum headed back to hers last night. I slept for 12 hours last night and have simply pottered about doing only the essential things as i've been really tired!
I'm now on 15 mg of pred each day, and symptoms are slowly creeping back. i've had two accidents in the last week, fortunately not at the trials!
I saw my IBD nurse last week and my CRP is normal, but haemoglobin is still rather low. it was up abit but still pretty low. I'm being sent for a DEXA scan to see what my bones are doing, other than that, its crossing fingers we *just* might have whipped it back pretty good. I mean dont get me wrong, its so still bubbling away in there but it shouldnt be causing as much damage as it was and that is a success!
