Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I think it is most likely the side effects of the meds Dreamy.
It is Friday now.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I hope you can get the biopsy of the lymph nodes done sooner that later. The more you know, the less you will worry. It seems to me that your physicians are being most conscientious, and that you are getting support from your mental health team - with options.

Closer to home, you might want to choose just a couple of your favorite, most reliable watches and put the others away until you get past the day/time confusion. Simplify, simplify.

How's your eating and strength?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I'm eating more but don't really feel much stronger.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Is your appetite normal Dreamy?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I wouldn't say normal in the sense that there are very few foods I want to eat, yogurt, apples cereal etc. but I've had nothing hot for days.

I'm scared I'll lose my mind completely; when I saw you had written today is Friday I didn't recognise that you posted it yesterday for a good few seconds.


It's common for people to forget the day and date with the festivities but my problems go far deeper hence my watches thread. I find I'm having to complete things basic and not quite managing because of my memory.

I did buy a new vaper today; I seem to go through them at some rate but couldn't face not vaping, a bit like a smoker would be. It was a specialist shop and I patted myself on the back for getting there and back.

My sleep has improved a bit and not every night comes fraught with terror. I think my temperature has gone back to normal.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

If only my memory were normal, plus I had some reassurance about the nightmares and illusions, I think I would be OK for now.

It interrupts my normal activities. I'll put my headphones on but not really enjoy the songs, same with reading. So I'm reduced to watching rubbish TV.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Which really is rubbish. But I did manage to get out twice today: once to the supermarket, which really took it out of me.Then later on to the vape shop as I needed a new vaper. My old one had broken down (2 weeks that lasted me).

But I'm not back to anything like good or even decent health. I am honestly waiting to see what breaks down next. The memory issues, while disabling, are only really a side issue Askrigg I'm terrified of getting Delirium again. That can be really nasty.

I'm not even sure why im writing this, boredom perhaps.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Oh, dear Dreamy. At least you are eating. one thing at a time.

Try keeping a diary of how you are feeling Dreamy.
Most TV is rubbish. Try the silly Christmas channel, it may make you laugh.

Sorry I have not been here to support you enough Dreamy.
You are all in a muddle with both your illness and the festive period. Even I had to think today, oh yes New Year is soon.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I know my body has been through a lot, but the simple act of getting up and making a cup of tea exhausts me in advance.

Anyway, I'll have to go out tomorrow or I'll starve. Something I've not mentioned before is the back and neck pain (Probably from my biopsies). I find it hard to hold my head up properly and this is dangerous when outside lest I get squished by a car. My hearing is good, though. Also when I walk I find myself swaying to the left slightly.

The back pain I just accept as a constant. It's worse during the day.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Yes, it is most likely the biopsies, but also the amount of time you have been laid up sick IMO.
It takes a lot of muscle strength to even sit upright, let alone anything else like walking.

Do take care when you go out tomorrow Dreamy. Many start drinking in the afternoon. Tomorrow is New Years Eve.
