I'm really not very well today
I've had some major trouble breathing. I had it about ten days ago, had a rare couple of days off sick, and then thought I was getting over it, bar a common cold.
Now I keep going dizzy and can't catch my breathe. Bizarrely, I feel like my face is in a vise. If I don't log on tomorrow morning, I've probably died. Neo's away, so you might have to let him know, ok?

Re: I'm really not very well today
Oh Kooks hope you'll feel a bit better tomorrow. We've discussed elsewhere - but seems to be so many people in different countries with this same kind of bug.

Re: I'm really not very well today
The inability to breathe coupled with a vice like head is what's had me going to a specialist for 6 months.
I go under the knife next week (for the first time so I'm shitting myself) for a bit of Sinuplasty.

Re: I'm really not very well today
Really thought I was over it, croma, and at the sneezing and runny nose stage. Last 24 hours I've gone backwards. See how I am in the morning, but really don't have time to be ill!

**** I've had enough operations already, thank you.

Erm. I hope you went to the doctor young lady

Err,,,,K, you sure it's not H1N1 flu that you got? It can cause severe respiratory problems indeed.

Re: I'm really not very well today
K: why are you posting on here and not waiting in a doctor's surgery waiting room?
Surely you the symptoms you have go way beyond anything you've had before? Or are you just faking it for attention?
Either get to the doctors or be forever known as an attention grabber.

Re: I'm really not very well today
Well duh - of course I'm an attention seeker!
I took panadol and went back to bed but I'm still sweating and feel like my head's going to explode, so I'll see if I can locate a drop-in-clinic round here. My doc is about 90 mins from here.

Not sure about your suburb, but definitely drop-in clinics in Surrey Hiils and most likely Beaconsfield?

Re: I'm really not very well today
Take care, K and get yourself to a doctor pronto! From the symptoms you've described, I wouldn't delay it a moment longer!
Life is comprised of infinite possibilities; some known, others a mystery and destined to remain so. And what of the vast unknown, the realms beyond which knowledge has no established boundaries or parameters? Who is to say what exists or what is possible?

Hope you're at a doctor's right now, K. Looking forward to an update soon.
Baloo, too, take good care.

Re: I'm really not very well today
I feel worse now, it's not Sinuplasty, it's actually Bilateral Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery & Septoplasty.
I fear this could possible be worse than Man Flu.

Eeeek, that sounds like a frying pan to the face. Just focus on how much better you'll feel after it's all taken care of.

Re: I'm really not very well today
I'm sure I used to have a game called Sinuplasty or something like that when I was a little tot - and you could make little characters out of it and it was very messy but fun. But I guess that's not the same.
Seriously best of luck baloo. Operations are never nice.

Re: I'm really not very well today
Ok aunties and uncles I've got drugs.
Newtown Medical Centre was an experience signs everywhere saying no addictive drugs or cash kept on premises. My first experience of bulk-billing, too. (No bill to pay.)
And in the chemist I witnessed some shoplifting. Newtown, it's an interesting place

Re: I'm really not very well today
Oh we don't live in Newtown; it just seemed the most likely place I could walk in and see somebody, and I knew where it was as it's on my bus route.
That said, I wouldn't mind living there - tons of cafes, eatieries, pubs, quirky shops - but most of the property is small terraces with no parking.
