Another Hospital visit

EEeeeee All i do nowadays is blog about my ailments. As i mentioned though in a previous post, i do it to remember as my memory really is awful.

On Boxing day i got the dreaded flu and since then i’ve been left with a cough thats been driving me mad. On a morning its ok as its like a “morning after a night out” kind of meaty cough but by mid afternoon my chest goes very tight and the cough becomes dry and annoying. On an evening when in bed it gets even worse and the indigestion starts worse than i’ve ever had it and i do suffer with indigestion too. I always feel really nauseous too.

Anyway this morning i finally decided enough was enough and called the surgery to see if i could make an appointment. Got the shock of my life when i was told that i could go at 11am today!!!

Dr Airan listened to me waffling on and examined me thoroughly also asked if i smoked.. Erm nope never tried one and have no intentions of doing so… and if i drank… Once again nope cannot afford to!

I was given a perscription for some strong indigestion tablets to have daily for 4 weeks to see if it eases the symptoms and also sent off to the local hospital for a chest X-Ray..

I trotted off for the X-Ray and need to call my Dr in 10-14 days for the results unless i hear from them first.

I’ve still not heard anything from ENT regarding the inner ear problem either but i realise these things take time.

Happy New Year

Well what a start to 2011.. On Boxing Day i started coughing.. and coughing…. and blooming coughing. 2 days later the aching of every bone in my body started. Yup i  had the dreaded flu.

 

I still can’t shake the cough off and its driving me maaaaaddddd. I’ve had medicine from the pharmacy and throat lozenges.. Hopefully it’ll go soon. I’ve not bothered my doctor as i’ll end up with more bugs if i go to the surgery and also its only flu and there are people out there who need a doctor more than me. I’m a survivor and will carry on sucking the Covonia Lozenges hehehe.

The old dizzy head isn’t doing me any favours either and seems to get worse each time. In a couple of weeks time i go to the hospital to see the Neurology Department so hopefully they’ll suss out whats going on in that there head of mine.

The only way i can describe the dizzy effects is that its not when i stand up or anything like that, it can suddenly come on while i’m watching television. I really hope something can get sorted as it makes me feel so sick too. thank heavens for  non alcoholic Ginger wine as it takes the sicky feeling away.

On the 25th of this month i go to see my Oncologist so hopefully alls well in that area too.

right thats me updated with my health. I’ve blogged this as i still am very forgetful and need things wrote down..chemo brain.. lack of brain.. senile.. You decide.
