Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Well, I fell asleep during my MRI test; this is a first for me. I did take some diazepam shortly before the test but this is actually the very first time I slept through a noisy claustrophobic procedure.

There seems to be a longer gap between my temperature spikes too and this is good news also. I think the strong antibiotics are actually working now so today,on a health front I couldn't be happier.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Brilliant! Glad to hear that Ffosse.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Best thing to do ... sleep through an MRI if you can. They're weird, truly weird. Blasted noisy things.

Good to hear the antibiotics are kicking in too.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Yes, I feel like I've turned a corner or something. I hope the Consultant can interpret some good news from the MRI. Physically I feel fine, the only issue being constipation which I always get during hospital stays.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Snap! Me too.

I hope you picked something nice for your tea later on as you'll feel a little more like some food now.
Is it 5 o'clock in the hospital you're at, it was in mine.
And such big portions!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Yes, it's around 5 o clock.

My MRI was completely normal so they're looking at a deep seated fungal infection as a likely source but they don't know really.

Still to get my heart ultrasound tomorrow, perhaps that will show something up.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Am on this new medication which seems to agree with me. There was a one in ten chance it wouldn't.

I'll leave the blog for view and just update daily.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Good news with the meds, Ffosse It looks like they might have at least solved some of your issues there. Good luck with the ultrasound tomorrow bud. I'm sure you'll be back on the road to recovery soon as poss

You'll be soon the No.1 Hottest Thread of the Year, overtaking something called "Floydy's All-Time Favourite Albums" lol!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Pleased to hear there has been some improvement Ffosse.... hopefully you’ll be back home soon.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Well I awoke to a temperature of 38.4. I felt OK, had slept well yet still needed paracetamol.

The heart ultrasound was yesterday, a very gloopy and cold cream the nurse massaged into the front and back. I'm not expecting anything new today. How can someone go from being well one minute to feeling poorly the next?
