Cheekychinchilla's food and stuff

I'm so glad your 2nd date went so well, he sounds really sweet :) Not good about your sleep, it's important to rest though even if you're not sleeping, I hope you've had a better night last night. I''m a b*gger for staying up all night reading when it's good or near the end. When the last harry potter came out I sat there all day and night till it was finished ( sad I know). x x
 
Hey!
I knew your work werent being mean,just was tying to reassure you that you cant be sacked for this (sounded like you were worrying about that)

Sounds like a cute date! There may not be parking really near him but surely there is SOMEWHERE in chester, even if it means hopping on a 5 min bus- surely that's bettwr than the epic public transport journey otherwise?
Cute hat he paid for your cake :) I get super awkward about that too. My (male) friend kept asking to buy me drinks the other day and it weirded me out! But I have.slowly gotten used to G paying our dinners out and grocery bills, took a while to manage that but I pay other bills so it is pretty even really :)
Definitely more awkward when you know the person is poor though! You can buy HIM cake next time ;) though guys like to feel like the provider methinks! X
 
Hey guys!
I've been so ill :( It was a mistake to go out yesterday, but I wanted to see the friend visiting from London and I knew I'd be miserable if I stayed in. But it was a mistake :(
Man of Steel was excellent, even second time round, and I think I manage to see most of it this time. But I was really ill before I went in and by the time we came out I thought I was going to pass out. Had to sit in my friends for an hour before I could drive home. Luckily Tim drove us to and from the cinema, but I had to get to their house. I had to make a judgement call of whether I was ok enough but also leave before I got too tired! Really stupid! I mean, I was ok, but would rather I hadn't.
Anyway, was awake with waves of anxiety until 4am. Just over thinking all the medical crap and I keep picturing and feeling the blood tests :cry: I just want this to all be over!!!

Anyway, what worried me about work was that even though I'm permanent, I'm still under a training contract as I've not finished and passed the course yet. So one of my worries would be that head office would say "Well you're not going to pass the course on schedule, so you've defaulted the contract" or something. I dunno how these things work. I know part of the contract was that if you dropped out you had to pay the fees and lose your job. And if you left too soon after qualifying you would also have to pay some fees back. But basically, if you didn't do the course, you don;t keep your job!! I do feel a bit better about it all, but I just want to go back and be relatively normal again :(

I dunno about the parking situation near John. Chester's quite a small city centre and it sounds like he lives right near the train station, which is about a 15min walk from the city centre. I know what Chester's like and it's tiny and all permit parking and such. I'd have to ask. But, at the moment, I don't even think I could drive that far.
Had to ban myself from driving today because I just felt so ill. Even had to make Mum get a taxi home because I couldn't go get her :( Mega guilt!! So yeah, don't even think I could drive that far right now.
God this thing is ruining my f*cking life :(

Yeah I know guys like to buy stuff and be all provider'y. But I do like to pay my own way too. One our first date I bought him a coffee, so we're only slightly uneven.

Hehe Tace not sad at all. I think I read the last Harry Potter super quick.
I think at the moment I'm putting off going to sleep/bed. Because I know my anxiety will go nuts and if I do sleep I'll have awful nightmares.
Having a late night tonight watching films. Partly because I haven't done it in ages and partly to try and knacker me out. I'm on film number 4 of the day :) This is the last one. But then I'll read for a bit :rolleyes: Think I'm going to have to keep taking sleeping pills until these horrible blood tests are done.
At least I've got a plan and a lift sorted out. That's helped!

Been ok food wise. Not exactly on plan but not horrific either. Just taking each day as it comes at the moment. I think tomorrow will be a proper SW day, but I know Tuesday wont.

Anyway, night all and thank you for all the posts.xx
 
Sorry to hear you've not been well Hun! Hope your better now .. X x x

I'm sorry to hear you're not well :( I think you having some sleeping pills might be a good idea, lack of sleep is probably making you feel worse. Maybe as well, when you've had a good night's sleep it will help you think a little clearer about work, I know things always seem worse when you're tired and stressed.
I know what you mean about parking in Chester, a lot of it is outside the city centre and you end up walking, which is nice if you're well but not much help if you're poorly.
Hope you're feeling a little better today x x x
 
Not feeling any better at all. Think it's probably just another step down with whatever's going on. This is the 3rd day now of feeling worse and it doesn't appear to be changing. The stress wont be helping. My heart is constantly thumping, I feel exhausted, really nauseous, and every time I think about tomorrow I want to be sick. Just want it done and out of the way now.
Got another letter through today for an appointment. That's 3 appointments for tests and my revisit for the clinic. All the test appointments are late July :confused: So if nothing shows up on these blood results then it looks like I'll have to carry on as I am, by myself, without any bloody treatment, until I go back to see the Dr at the beginning of August :cry:

Sorry guys, not a good day, feel so awful.xx
 
Sounds like a horrifix couple of days :(!! *hug* so sorry hun... (and for naively texting you all my happy **** earlier and not asking!)
Good luck with the next test... Really hope it is all over soon. Can totally relate about the anxiety for the blood test, I cried for like an hour after mine in the ICU a couple of years ago (kidney infection) freaked me out so much!
 
I did it :) It was very quick and the lady was lovely. I felt her move it once, but got it all from one arm. She took it from the right side but the diazapam made me feel like my left arm and leg wasn't attached. I came out of there giggling like a loon :eek: I did get some funny looks! And I was >this< close to hugging her! She said the results will be available within a few hours, basically as soon as the lab's done them. So hopefully if something flags they'll get in touch with me. Hoping my TSH has gotten even higher. It seems every time I feel worse my TSH has gone up! I know, I know...

Anyway, went for breakfast at The Egg and I had a full breakfast and shared wholemeal pancakes with Mum :D Bought a slice of Vegan chocolate crunch to bring home for later :D

Today will be sponsored by diazapam and sugar ;)

Tetris mate, it was lovely to hear from you and I was SO happy for you. Honestly, cheered me up celebrating with you :D

Back home now to chill out for a bit. Might be going to see Despicable Me 2 later, depending if my friends are free. But a good few hours of doing bugger all is needed either way :) xx
 
Hope your feeling a little better Hun :) xx

Well done on get your bloods done hassle free :) I think a fix of the minions world sort the whole world out, they are awesome. And they like to sing about my favourite fruit BANANAS lol. I hope you have a nice evening and hopefully the test results will come through soon and they'll be able to sort you out, fingers crossed :cross: x x
 
Hi Cheeky, I've been away for a few days being very bold lol
Sorry to see your feeling so bad but hopefully your blood results will be back soon and you will have a clearer picture,
wow the NHS works fasts for test appointments. Over here if you were not paying for your tests then you could be waiting 4/6 months to have them done, so your really lucky to have them all done by the end of the month.

Do you take anything for anxiety, if not you should maby get something from your doctor on your next visit, it would help with the nighttime symptoms.
Anyway let me know how you get on, take care x

Oh guys I feel so rough. I didn't think it was possible to feel any worse, but I most certainly do. I'm still exhausted, but actually starting to feel fatigued now.
Last night my heart was beating so hard I felt like my whole upper body was pulsing and jumping. My chest and upper arm muscles definitely were. It took me a long time to get to sleep. Even with a sleeping tablet and trying to find the most comfortable position where I could hear my heart less. There really wasn't one :(
I read until I couldn't keep my eyes open to try and help. I think I must have just gotten to the point of exhaustion and fell asleep.
I feel really weak and headachey today. Well, I've had a headache since February! But even more so today, very much more pressure. I'm quite jittery as well and having to be careful doing stuff.
This is getting ridiculous! Haven't driven since Saturday and really hoping I can trust myself to tomorrow as I would quite like to buy some food for me and the animals. At least I'm saving on petrol I suppose.

Hey Bikerbabe! I think the heart appointments have come through quickly because I'm a heart patient. But, considering that, they're still making me wait a month - even with a pre-existing heart condition. Was surprised to get the neck ultrasound through so quickly. If I was able to work I wouldn't be too bothered about the time I'm waiting for appointments. But seen as it's not safe for me to be in work the time is an issue. Esp as my pay will be cut soon and I've already lost out on money from not being able to do my weekend shifts. I NEED to be back in work and I can't do that until they figure this out and start treatment.
Even then I'll be going back on a phased return so won't be earning my proper money for a while. I'm so worried about money :cry: I don't earn much as it is with me being only part time, so having it cut is going to be really tough.

Im on depression/anxiety medication. Have been for a very long time. But recently increased the dose because I wasn't coping.
I've got an appointment with my GP on Tuesday for a new sick note so will update him on how bad I've gotten and see if he can suggest anything.

The powerful heart beats aren't just night time now. I'm not getting much rest from it now, it's even going now and I feel like I'm jumping. I'm so f*cking tired :cry:

On plan today so far. Don't actually feel much like eating coz I'm so tired. Got curry, rice, and spicy potatoes for tea. Will try not to cave in to anything naughty.
Was on plan on Monday and then found a Wispa I'd bought :rolleyes: Will be good today and will try my best tomorrow.
Friday my friends are coming to get me and Mum to go for lunch/cake and then to see their new house. So I guess if I think of being good till then I can enjoy it :) xx
 
Hi!! Your diary has not been coming up on my subscribed list for ages (????) so after I saw you on odd socks diary I've come to hunt you down!! :) Anyway, I've not had chance to catch up properly, but I can see you've not been well. I so hope everything is ok and your back to work soon. I can't believe your even trying with the healthy eating - well done!!!! Sleepy thoughts for you tonight zzzzzzzzzzzz
 
Thank you for the sleepy thoughts. Greatly appreciated! Would just like my heart to calm the f*ck down for a little bit!!

Hope you're doing ok too missus?

I've been healthy eating on and off. Did about 3 weeks of comfort eating/feeling sorry for myself then decided enough is enough. So eating well as often as i can, with lots of treats in between lol. I just don't want to put on a load of weight. I can barely stand at the moment, so no exercise at all. And I put weight on very quickly - which I think is part of the mystery illness. Which I'm pretty damn sure is thyroid :rolleyes:

Lovely to see you btw B.xx
 
Sorry to hear you've been unwell Hun! Have you considered gettin yourself to a&e? Sometimes gettin yourself treated that way will speed up the process? Esp referals .. A 4 hour wait might just be worth it ;) Just a thought .. ESP as your a cardiac patient ..
Get well soon
Xxx

I'm not surprised you comfort ate, well done for trying now though!! Have they checked your thyroid???

I'm good thank you, pretty exhausted but that's normal!!! Xx
 
I think they'd laugh me out of A&E. There's nothing they can treat me for really - maybe the vertigo. But I've trialled vertigo meds and they did bugger all. I wouldn't be seen as an emergency I wouldn't think.
Maybe, like you said, the heart stuff. But I had an ECG and chest X-ray last week and not heard anything since, so I assume (unsurprisingly) they found nothing. I'm seeing my Dr on Tuesday anyway so will update him on the newest crap.

Oh B, don't get me started on Thyroid. I am still convinced it's my Thyroid and have been all along. It's why I originally made the step of starting this insane journey.
I have a massive phobia of having blood take and refused it for over 15 years. But I knew that I would have to do it, so it was a HUGE step. I have to be sedated, but I'll go. Have had 7 now (although on 2 they couldn't get anything out of me) :cry: The one on Tuesday was horrific. I mean it went much better than I thought it was, but the shear amount they wanted off me has left me with some serious anxiety. Even now!
I pushed that it was thyroid and in one of the consultations the GP I was seeing snapped at me and said "It is NOT your thyroid". Despite my TSH going from 4.7 to 6.0 in less than 2 months and my symptoms getting much worse within that time.
At referral the Dr said I completely fit with an underactive thyroid, but the bloods weren't quite right. My free T4 is relatively normal.
Would be interesting to know what my TSH was on Tuesday considering I'm even WORSE than I was a month ago.

Just fed up mate. Really fed up!

I was doing ok today. My anxiety wasn't so bad last night. I still took half a sleeping pill, but my heart wasn't too loud and I think I feel asleep quite quickly and only woke up a few times. I must have been awake about 5mins by the time I woke up properly before it kicked off tho.

My Sister was really nice and drove me to Asda today so I could do some shopping. God it's awful relying on people to drive me round! Haven't driven myself since sat :(
When I got home I chucked some veg in the oven so I could make roasted veg ratatouille for tea, fed & cleaned the bunnies, and de-poo'd half of the garden.
Think I've over done it though coz I'm really jittery now. And my head is really painful and heavy.
Smacked my teeth on my mug before coz my hands were shaking so much. Ouch!!! :eek:

Food today:

Lunch: Tin of ravioli, lots of cheese, big side salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and peppers. Wholemeal toast. And a bit of dressing.

Tea: Roasted veg ratatouille, Quorn pieces, pasta, and steamed broccoli. Cheese and dressing.
