Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

@Anna88 @Faith-and-Hope

Donating clothes no longer used = 😀

Making progress on decluttering =😀

Seeing what still needs to be done = 😬

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes I second that @Former-Member

Decluttering & giving things away is great.

Seeing what still needs to be done, not so great (a Bugbear, or downer)...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I've just had the locum Dr out, a few hours ago @Former-Member

I've had a sinus infection all last week, but thought I was getting better. It's threatening to go into my chest, like last Winter.

Then I almost collapsed after a short shopping trip earlier today, felt very weak (instead of better).

Dr put me on a course of antibiotics, & I've had to call in sick for tomorrow (not work).

Didn't manage any decluttering today, not much self-care either (sadly)....

Lemon Meringue pie is one of my all-time favourites @Anna88

Yes you should be voted employee of the month, for baking one (from the work lemons)....

@Adge

Sinus infection = urrggh

Infection going to chest = double urrggh

Hope you feel better soon.

@Faith-and-Hope trust your recovery is going smoothly.

@Anna88 as Adge pointed out using work lemons = double points

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member 🙏 re tomorrow.

Think I had a combination of sinus infection and some sort of allergen. I am still suddenly getting an event of symptoms randomly, and then nothing for days.

Hope you’re feeling better quickly on the antibiotics @Adge.

Thanks @Former-Member

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

That's a good point F&H.

It's allergy that sets me up to get the sinus infection (then chest).

1st worsening allergy - then infections.

That's exactly what happened last Winter (over & over again).

Crossed fingers & toes for no repeat.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Make sure you treat the symptoms of the allergy @Adge to make it harder for an infection to take hold. There are sprays you can use to stop the mucus production where bacteria can harbour. That might be what happened with me.
