Cheekychinchilla's food and stuff

Just did the symptoms diary. Thought I might as well. Didn't take long. xx
 
I think the more you let them know about it getting much worse and giving them a gentle nudge the more they're likely to push it.
We've just put Red on as well, never seen it. Glad your stomach has settled a little maybe you'll be able to get some sleep x x
 
I haven't got any contact details tho - that's the only thing. And I'm not very good with phone calls. So will stress me out a LOT to try and get it. None of my letters have the Dr or clinic's contact details :(

Luckily the nausea doesn't keep me awake. It's the hammering heart and the dizziness! Which is back big style today. Yay.... :rolleyes: Lol! Hoping I'm just that exhausted that I'll sleep even after sleeping in the day today.x
 
Well, I was a bit brave, coz I woke up panicking about it :eek: Have made my abdominal ultrasound appointment and left a message with my referral Doc's receptionist.

My ultrasound is going to be at the hospital closer to me (yay!) and at 7pm. Which usually I would rejoice at, but then she told me I wont be able to eat or drink for 6hrs before. I very suddenly wanted a morning appointment :p I never want morning appointments! Ah well, if this nausea carries on it wont be a problem.

The Dr's receptionist isn't in until Monday so had to leave a message with a very disinterested lady who would only let me say that my symptoms were worse, not details or anything! But she took my details and said the receptionist may call me back on Monday. Ah well, I tried.

Working up to eating something. Really fancy spaghetti! For some reason tomato based stuff like tinned spaghetti and Pasta N Sauce aren't making me think "ick" before I eat them. Yet I'm turning down cake, chocolate, biscuits, etc :eek: Haha.x
 
Very glad I called the hospital now! Within half an hour the nice lady Dr I first saw at referral called me back and said she wants to see me on Wed - next available clinic. She said she couldn't access the appointments, but just to go in from 1:30 and she'll see me :)
She did say if things get very bad to go to A&E, but I'm hoping that wont be necessary. I just really didn't think they'd be able to do much at A&E and thought they'd think I was wasting their time. But not had a severe episode like last Thurs again and hopefully wont again. But glad she wants to see me back. Wish I'd called sooner now! never mind.

Also managed to eat my lunch in less than 30mins! Feel really sick now, but at least it's in lol. Will do a food diary later when I decide what to have for tea :) x
 
So glad you've spoken to someone and they're moving it forward a bit. I agree about you going to A&E, they not be able to anything there and then but they will admit you and you will been seen by a doctor ASAP and they will push things through quicker. Plus you'll be in safe hands and not get any worse or injure yourself which you could well do being all dizzy and light headed.
I think you just need to eat exactly what you fancy and can get down for now and not worry what it is, anything is better than nothing x x x
 
See, that's why I wouldn't want to go to A&E. I wouldn't want to be admitted. Absolutely not, unless I was literally dying! Besides, they'd want tests and stuff which i wouldn't let them do with diazapam and it would just make stuff very complicated and they'd probably see it as me refusing treatment :rolleyes:
I've been dizzy and lightheaded for almost 3 months now and managed not to cause myself any harm. I just sit down a lot :) Honestly, I am sensible!

Hehe my lunch was pathetic considering the HUGE portions of stuff I usually eat. But glad I did eat something.

Thanks Tace.xx
 
Agree with Tace - hospital admission will speed things up coz they will wanna get you sorted and then fill your bed with the next patient! Rubbish but very effective ..

Glad you have the appt tho ;) yay x x

Me too B. Might hurry them along a bit with the endocrine stuff too. They're taking their sweet time on that! ;) Be good to just explain what's been going on really.

Had a nice night. My friend had an awful day at work so I invited her round for a bit and we watched Lawless (Tom Hardy's cardigan film!) and had a bit of a catch-up. She's bloody knackered tho! And having a rough time with her own mystery illness too :(
Drove her home and I nipped in to Asda and they had 'natural' coloured hold-ups for £4 for 2 pairs :D My Sister offered to lend me hers, but hers are 'tall' and I'm, well, not ;) And I needed some light ones anyway. Now I just need the bravery to wear the bloody dress tomorrow!!

I actually feel the best I have in over a week today! I managed a good tea and I'm gonna have a Chewy Delight! The nausea is still there, but at no where near the crazy level it has been. So I will celebrate with a HexB and enjoy it instead of forcing it in :p

Have bought myself two drinks for my friends birthday tomorrow. And bought her the same too ;) I got a bottle of Rekorderlig passion fruit cider and a bottle of Merry Down cider. The Merry Down was pretty much just because it has a really happy fox on the label.... And the other one, coz all Swedish stuff rocks ;)
Don't know if I'll even make it to one! But I'm going to take a big bottle of Diet Coke too. Would be nice to not feel horrendously sick and be able to have a couple of drinks and a few party nibbles.
We shall see. At least I have a load of saved syns and I'll eat low syn tomorrow too. probably a veggie breaky if I can cope. Or at least some variation of it :)

Just watching a couple of Black Books and heading to bed to read Dr McNinja :D
Night all.xx
 
Do you have meds for the nausea? Surely your doc could prescribe you somethin to help ease, buccastem or cyclizine tabs are quite good .. I suffered terrible nausea a while back - pre and post food, it was horrendous - I feel your pain!!

Awwwe, I bet your guna look so beautiful in your dress :) glad you've had a decent day .. Fingers crossed they carry on :) x x x
 
At the very start of this I was prescribed meds for the vertigo symptoms and the nausea. 3 a day for a week and they did absolutely nothing!

It kinda seems like they don't want me to take any meds till they know what's what in case I'm masking symptoms or if I get side effects. My friend did suggest travel sickness bands, you know the ones you put on your wrist? Coz apparently they're good for the likes of morning sickness and stuff. Worth looking in to :)

The nausea seems to be set at medium at the moment, which is an improvement on previous mornings. Been awake about an hour and slowly working up to the idea of food. But I think it might be good to have a late lunch so it'll give me time to start feeling a bit hungry before my friends party. My Sister dropped by before and I gave her some money towards a few veggie food bits :) And I will HAVE to eat, even if I only manage one bottle of cider.

Was still awake at 4am last night! I was up doing stuff quite late and then it took me ages to relax and start to feel sleepy. I woke up at 9am to go pee and ran down to let the dogs out. Snoozed on and off till 12. Think the big, long sleep and nap on Thursday messed up what small sleeping cycle I have lol. But it was necessary!

Anyway, will go and attempt to cook and eat in a bit. Got no plans for today except checking in on the bunnies and getting ready for tonight. Wish me bravery!! I will try and take pics to show you later :)

Have lovely Saturday's everyone.xx

Ah good thinking coz some antiemetics can cause some bad ass side effects :( .... i hope you have a lovely day ;) x x x
 
Urgh! Got a rather explosive upset stomach. Absolutely awesome!!

Aye Ruby it's a bit of a nightmare not being able to treat something or any of my symptoms. Just hope this extra visit hurries things along a little bit! I keep thinking "It can't get much worse than this" Then it does! Lame!

Just had my shower and will let my hair dry almost by itself so I don't have to suffer prolonged hair dryer heat! Will be straightening my hair for the first time in about 3 weeks lol! Going to drink some peppermint tea, read, and then watch another Breaking Bad before I have to get ready.


Anyway, today's food:

Green Day + 15

Lunch: 2 free Linda M Sausages.
Half a tin of spaghetti.
Mushroom, sweet red pepper, light Philly & cheese scrambled eggs (half HexA1 + 1 for tsp of Philly I reckon)
Wholemeal toast (HexB1)
Tomato sauce (1)

Tea: Whatever I can eat at the party and if not, some Weetabix or something when I get home. Will try and eat something tho.
So party food!

Drinks: Coffee. Diet Coke. squash. Peppermint tea. And cider (unknown syns but wont be saving any syns unless I don't drink it ;))
 
Poorly belly :( hope it's settled a little for your party tonight. It's good the nausea has settled a little and you can eat a bit more.
Really want to see your dress, I bet you look good :) Have fun tonight x x x
