been very sick

Hi The Happy Turtle,

Just sending you some happy vibes, I hope that things are getting better soon. We had a week or so last year, nothing like as hot as you get it, I'm sure, but for those days it felt the air was difficult.

I hope you have a good decent fan or something to take the heat off you a little. I guess with the heat it pays to not do too much if you are struggling.

I really wish you well. And to get all the help you need.

Sending you supportive, calm thoughts, my best wishes! HB

cheers happybean.

hi guys, hi karen. had a bad night. slept just a little on the arm chair. am still panicking about the bed and sleeping and dying and stuff. seen my therapist today, good session. he gave me some good tips. before going i hung my clothes out and walked buttons before the heat cae in. had a bad night last night with the burning, shortness of breath and panic attacks. i rang the gastro doctor can't get in till february 14. i notified them that i am in severe pain and to call me if there are any cancellations. my sis took me into town and waited for me. i shouted her lunch and gave her some petrol money as she has and is running me around.

we also picked up my lamictal from the hospital pharmacy. it is bloody hot here. the next few days are going to be stinkers as us aussies say. i need to got to my chemist to get some zantac, i will go just before it closes. i hope the sting is a little bit gone by then. i have my eye surgeon friday my sis is taking me. well i need to rest and get some cool water into me. i have not long got back. i will rest for 40 minutes then go up. i will check my supplies to see if i need anything else. take care my hw buddies, i love you all. thanks for your care and support.

Hi Jamie,

Sorry you can't get an app before. I hope something will work out and they can fit you in soon.

Hope you'll be able to get some rest.

as you know it is back to being all at sea with the nocturia and burning. i am dropping extra zantac-fire at will so to speak. still very short of breath still. the heat is nit helping either. oh well. keep pushing i guess. no sleep though. boo.

hi guys, chest has been extremely tight. i can hardly make it to the loo and then i have to take a few puffs of ventolin and sit and rest for 20minutes before i do the next thing that needs doing. been sleeping a lot. i am just about over the panic of doing so. ofcourse i have to wait for the burning and nocturia to end first. noctouria is still the bloody same, burning better. i try and not eat after 6pm, is hard being a diabetic but it seems to help a bit. i seriously believe that i am not digesting my food correctly. and i think it is causing my air-ways to constrict. i don't know really. i am just sort of listening to my body and guesstamating. i am not self-diagnosing or anything.

i am still waking up in cold sweats. everything is drenched. pillows, blankets, myself etc. geez i don't know what is going on. i have not been able to walk buttons. boy i know she needs one badly. maybe irene can take her tomorrow or something. i am getting some sleep finally. i wake up late take my meds and stuff and head back to bed. i am following my therapist's advice of getting z's whenever you can. i am still exhausted guys. i need this stuff sorted asap. i am getting very pissed of with this situation. basically this aint fair. expletive i deserve some wellness like the next person. why is the expletively universe dumping on me all of the bloody time!!!! expletive, expletive!!! well i'd better go. time for a puff of ventolin and a rest. this is beginning to turn into a rant so i will bid you farewell for now.

i needed that happybean.

Hang in there Jamie, and know we are all here for you...

Hugs, Karen...

i cleaned my house yesterday, well a lot of it anyway. i would do a task like spray the benches then sit down and catch my breath for 20minutes. bigger jobs like the loo i would do and rest for 30 minutes. all up i did my benches, dishes-including putting them away, the toilet, the bathroom, sorted out some clothes for washing, did some paperwork and put some recycling out. i also dried my pillows on the line-re: night sweats. it took all day to do all of this but i did it.

today i took some of irene's plates back. that killed me. she made me a cuppa. i was able to get my breath back. today, not long ago i walked buttons, man that really killed me. i was hanging onto fences, sitting on gates, crouching on my stick etc. but i did it. she had not been walkies for awhile. i am still paying for it now. well take care my hw buddies, will see ya all soon.

i bloody hope so too!! am still breathless. still sucking on the ventolin puffer. 'slow and steady wins the race'.
