How is everyone feeling? (31) - Page 835

^ I feel like my communication has gone backwards lately. I get ever so tongue tied all the time and things pop out that shouldn't. Today I asked for a king porn bhuna instead of king prawn bhuna!

Bring back the days when I physically couldn't speak. (Don't really, SA gods!)

I feel emotional. Today I was approved for Disabled Student Allowance for the first time ever. It may not seem like much but I felt for the first time in my life that what I experience and live with each and every day was validated by wider society.

Consolida · #**25023** 6th October 2022, 00:27

^ That's good to hear

Thank you AL, Dougella, Hollie, Percy, NeverWas and Tembo for your care and concern. Ignore me please. I'm just catastrophising as usual and letting off some steam

It's nice to be back posting

Rocket Spud · #**25024** 6th October 2022, 08:12

Good to see you, Consolida

I'm feeling grotty with cold

I'm also wondering whether blowing your nose prevents congestion instead of sniffing/snorting it back. Sorry if you're eating breakfast right now.

anxiouslondoner · #**25025** 6th October 2022, 08:41

I have three meetings today. This does not make me enthusiastic for my job. I really hate the meetings.

That's great news

Consolida · #**25027** 6th October 2022, 15:18

^ Good luck with tomorrow

@ anxiouslondoner - I hope the meetings went okay for you today

I used to hate work meetings. I'd clam up and tremble in my chair

Thanks Spud

I hope your cold goes away soon

My husband has an absolute stinker of a cold and it will be a blooming miracle if I don't come down with it too.

Bluebear · #**25028** 6th October 2022, 16:44

Good to see you Consolida

Hope you don't catch that cold

Rocket Spud · #**25029** 6th October 2022, 18:10

^^ Ta, Consolida. Hope your home is all clear of it soon. I know it's often said, but i think it's doing the rounds.

Hollie · #**25030** 6th October 2022, 18:40

^ I hope you're feeling better soon

Have you seen people use neti pots?

Rocket Spud · #**25031** 6th October 2022, 18:44

Thanks, Hollie. I've got Olbas oil. I'm not feeling too bad tbh. I should be alright tomorrow.

Hollie · #**25032** 6th October 2022, 19:21

^ aw hopefully that sorts you out. There's so much going around right now, take care

snotty ick is the worst

Rocket Spud · #**25034** 7th October 2022, 09:33

^^ Still a bit more of the snotty ick today

I did however get a big sleep, which should set me up well for the rest of the day.

Professor Willow · #**25035** 7th October 2022, 11:36

Frazzled

cymruambyth26 · #**25036** 7th October 2022, 14:00

Happy. My cousin has bought us tickets to see Russell Howard in Cardiff next year!

Stepford · #**25037** 7th October 2022, 16:37

Extreemly tired, bored, achy. Much better after a long sleep waking at 2pm. I went to bed really late or really early and managed to get some sleep. Seems there's one plus in having fibromyalgia.

"It turns out fibromyalgia patients' immune systems are deficient in two particular cytokines, IL-6 and IL-8, and those two cytokines just happen to be the same ones that rage out of control during severe COVID-19 infections. COVID-19 antibody rates also appear to be lower in fibromyalgia patients than the general U.S. population (3.7% vs. 5%)."

choirgirl · #**25038** 7th October 2022, 22:36

I have misery seeping relentlessly out of me.

And I am over caffeinated.

Rocket Spud · #**25039** 8th October 2022, 09:56

Hangover. Major.

biscuits · #**25040** 8th October 2022, 10:05

^ zoiks! I've never had a hangover!

I woke up with the worst cramping in my stomach. Yesterday, I had nothing for breakfast - soup for lunch, roasted vegetables for dinner (cauliflower, chickpeas, mini potatoes, courgette - and it was only drizzled with olive oil and fresh herbs). I can't work out which food does this to me.

Oh - I had a crusty bread roll but it was so small. It was slightly stale. Maybe it's stale bread because last time I had stale bread it happened.

Rocket Spud · #**25041** 8th October 2022, 13:22

You should try it sometime. You feel awful for most of the day but then come good late afternoon, evening time. For some people it can last for days and i've no idea why those people even bother to drink!

Sounds like it's the bread, Bix. Is it only stale bread?

biscuits · #**25042** 8th October 2022, 15:28

^ I reckon I'll continue to give them a miss

I don't really like alcoholic drinks - other than a cherry brandy and coke at Christmas. Yum.

It's been stale bread twice and pizza twice. Weirdly it's not all pizzas - it's only the proper pizzas.

I'll avoid both from now on

I only have stale bread with soup, so it's not that much of a sacrifice haha

Perhaps I shouldn't ever let thoughts of quitting my life to become an Elton impersonator enter my brain.

Rocket Spud · #**25043** 8th October 2022, 18:25

You do stick to yer guns, Bix!

Would you be lighting up if weed ever become legal? Or try the edibles.

That long awaited Elton John impression! Thanks for that!

biscuits · #**25044** 8th October 2022, 20:25

^ nope, not interested! Alcohol and recreational drugs don't appeal to me at all! I'm pretty good at relaxing and pretty good at having a good time. I haven't ever felt the need for them

Well, I do love a bit of caffeine but it makes me sleepy, so I don't have that much.

You're welcome

I'm nothing if not really good at bad impressions!

Nanuq · #**25045** 8th October 2022, 20:35

I've got an itchy inner ear

I've been getting a bit of tinnitus in it and a bit of low level pain for a week or so and now it's itchy, so I think it might be the start of an ear infection

biscuits · #**25046** 8th October 2022, 23:43

^ oh nooo. Ear infections are the worst. My ears haven't recovered from the last one I had in both ears at the same time. It'a best to get it checked out at the docs so they can stop it progressing. Hope you feel better soon.

BFG_ · #**25047** 9th October 2022, 07:33

^^apparently thats now a recognised first sympton of covid

Nanuq · #**25048** 9th October 2022, 09:23

^ Hopefully not! I've had so many boosters I doubt I could get it again

Nanuq · #**25049** 9th October 2022, 09:28

Sorry your ears aren't fully recovered Biscuits

I've had soooo many problems with my ears ever since I was little, especially the left ear. I had grommets and have had dozens of ear infections and perforations. I always wear ear plugs if I swim because they get infected so easily but last time I went the ear plug let water in and sure enough it feels like another one is starting

I think I'll see if the pharmacist can give me a spray.

Percy · #**25050** 9th October 2022, 14:21

I had another covid booster jab yesterday, i did not get a bravery sticker.

Also had my first panic attack in 3 years last night.
