Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[great things]

Hi. Sorry you're not feeling brill! Arh talanol (sp). I love it. Wish they'd do it here! I brought loads back when I was studying in the US. Just got my case put straight through to teesside and there were no checks! So from PA to JFK to London to teesside! You wouldn't believe the size of bottles I brought back! The massive huge ones! Size of a house ones! Lol

As for temps, paracets are the best in the uk nothing else will really do and as for blocked nose it's Vicks. If sinus is problematic then there's the sprays or a decongestant tablet like contac 400! However you need to check the ingredients for citric acid!

My dad used something and it works a treat but I can't use it as it's too vicious for me and hurts my head will check tomorrow!

Swallowing hurts struggling through my bar this morning, I'm not remotely hungry, and it hurts to swallow I should've had a shake really but was in a hurry this morning. I still ache all over, I've knocked back some paracetamol and once I've finished my bar I'll add ibuprofen to that.

I've had to come into work for 3 reasons: 1/ my patients have already been booked2/ my sickness record and probably most importantly so LM doesn't think he's beaten me.

He's already completely blanked me this morning, so I can see how today's going to pan out.... It's such a juvenile way to carry on!! I wonder if it's because of the meeting on Friday or if Big Boss has told him off yet.

At least I'm off tomorrow hope everyone else has a better day than I'm going to have!!!

 

[SummerRain]

Hope you feel better soon xx its horrible when you feel so pants! I just saw that "game" thread! Wow I can't believe you were 'told off' like that! Hardly a fun game! lol! Hope your day improves xx

 

[Surfhunny]

Thanks Summer rain. I know I was stunned, it was midnight when I posted and I wasn't the first to have made a mistake, it's just a game lol.

Hi Sal,

I hope everything is well with you. I wish you a wonderful pre-Easter couple of weeks and a fab time at the wedding. I thought of you last night when I watched a few minutes of "The Wedding Crashers" on tele (I love that film). Watch out for any guys that seem to be there just to hook up... if they start singing "99 Red Balloons" RUN!

Mel

That's how I was with my throat before. Ow! Felt like the flu!

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm so disorganised this morning I forgot my lunch, but I'm not hungry, and don't feel like anything, I'll force 2 packs down me when I get home.

I keep coming over all hot and sweaty, it's horrible!! I only nerd to make it through 4 more hours!! Although they are the hardest 4 hours of the day

I just want to feel right again, I don't tolerate illness, I'm such a baby!!

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm so sorry all I seem to do is moan lately and I realise it's probably getting wearing. I wish I could see a way out of my work situation but short of handing my notice in (not an option) I can't see a way out.

I think I must've been swallowing air because my stomach is as tight as a drum, I've had my second shake when I got in but I cannot physically fit the next one in. I'll have to wait a bit longer, I've still got a litre of water left to drink too I'm struggling today!!!

 

[great things]

just take it easy surf. have the other shake with extra water and take some paracets, go to bed with some water and sip when you wake. i go through a pint of water during the night on most nights. don't stress it today but remember you might feel bloated tomorrow with a bit of water retention.

 

[Surfhunny]

I already feel bloated I'll struggle on with the water tonight I think, I feel so bloated it hurts. Booo!!! I think I might take some senna tonight to cos not sure when I last went lol, I should pay more attention really. That could be why I'm so bloated.

I'm just watching 220kg Kid then I'm off to bed for an early night!

 

[great things]

220kg kid... wow! good luck with the senna etc.

 

[Lily]

Oh hun {{{hugs}}}

Sorry you're still feeling crap.

BTW - I just went to investigate that 'game' thing - hmm, well out of order. And no apology! Luckily you're more grown up than me cos I think I'd have flipped proper-like - well, and then probably would've bawled my eyes out. I don't know what's the matter with me lately, I'm like a bl**dy tap. I bought me some 5-htp today - think that'll help??

I can't find it it's not in the medicine cabinet with the rest of my drugs lol, I'll get some more tomorrow unless nature takes it's course in the mean time TMI soz lol.

I did bawl my eyes out lol, but I was already feeling on the verge of tears before I read that, I don't tolerate illness well, it makes me cry, and that just pushed me over the edge, grrr!! I'm a grown woman and all around me at the moment people seem intent to make me feel small.

However I do think the 5-htp does help, I'm much more even tempered and even though I've had an incredibly stressful afternoon I didn't cry (which I usually do). It has generally lifted my mood and that's even with my generally stressful work life!! I totally recommend it, pricey but worth it for the boost and lack of cravings!!! Can only say they've helped me lose weight in that I don't crave things so don't act on cravings like I have done in the past. My advice though, take them at bed time because they can make you nice and sleepy!!

Excellent news, thank you. I was sooo hoping you'd say that. I got lucky in that they're on offer at H&B at the mo (half price - £7.89 for 60 capsules). So I bought 2 tubs, LOL. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you take? I'm thinking 50mg to start with (just one capsule)...

Edited to add that of course I didn't mean that it was excellent news you bawled your eyes out... Whoops, didn't mean that!! :hug99:

 

[flab fighter]

Is the tylenol you are taking with codine as that is a terrible culprit for constipation. I would still take ibuprofen after a shake with paracetamol to reduce a temperature.

 

[Surfhunny]

Nope, it's just boring Tylenol, I only took it once yesterday, been trying to avoid taking painkillers today. I do pretty much stick with ibuprofen with a shake, what a cocktail lol. I'll be fine in a day or two!! I have to be, the wedding of the year is on Saturday

 

[Lily]

Hope you're feeling better today x x

 

[Surfhunny]

Apart from waking up at the crack of Dawn on my day off I'm feeling much better, thanks Lily. My throat is still sore and my glands in my neck are still up but temp is back to normal and I feel much more human again.
