h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK... I know its been warm/hot here in the uk (and I think other bits of Europe too), but... the last few days in particular, and actually moreso as the temp has dropped from near 30s, to mid to high 20s.... I've started n the hot flushes again
OK, I've noticed for a few weeks my skin is looking rather decent, despite not that much moistuirsations..... and only yesterday I phoned endo nurses, to arrange next testosterone injection; on the 8 th aAugust (they still want 8 weekly injections). I'm low... very low... coordination is failing too, and I'm getting hot flushes and mood swings... hello menopause... again... seemingly then I'll get that for 2 weeks in every eight as I don't work well with eight weekly injections but that is what they want, as that is 'normal', and won't raise my testosterone levels too high (which is bad, things like prostate cancer, obviously, plus blood thickeneing and increased risk of clotts and stroke etc), but... seemingly they don't do the intermediate measure your levels after the injection here, so they don't pick up my drops/rises in levels and I have to fit a squre hole with a round peg... or visa versa... I guess... may speak to endo prof about it, on the 29th at the endo clinic, see if I can get a gel or patch as well as the injections to carry me over the shortfall periods... this is gona be a horrible twoe weeks. already feel my energy has dropped off to where I was befor eI switched steroids, and I can't think. at all. and I can't full up.... even more constantly hungry than before, and my sleep has gone from 8 hours a week to less. fantastic.

Jeez!

but... actually... oddly, I still feel better I think, thatn I did wehn on the hydrocortisone.... - and the Drs and prof etc, still won't accept I could be feeling more ill on it than not on it <l

Mind, in agony this morning.... woke at 6, with screaming pain in my calf < - cramp.... still wearing off now, even after a walk out into town for some shopping

there is otter news though! good otter news

Finally got a letter back from PIP people; this is the new benifit (personal independance payment), wich replaces the old benifit (disabled living allowance), that I was getting....

It was a bit of a gamble to ask for the assessment for PIP I could have been awarded less than I was getting on DLA..... but... about £300 PM more on the PIP as off whenever it starts in the next month or two, as compaired to what I was getting on the DLA.... even if it does rather confirm I'm pretty disabled nowdays but... at least there will be money enough for and and things... I might even upgrade my ancient computer, and the screen reader on it now - this machien is still Xp

Went into town this morning, with W... got bread, eggs, some fruit, sausages, mushrooms, butter and some deoderant for me, bar soap for the house, and some of my rediculusly expensive coconut shampoo

very quiet in town for a Saturday (end of the month perhaps....) and getting so hot out... and I can't cope with the heat now even worse than I used to be with it
