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

went to see Dr today - had this cough/sore throat now for nearly a month.... doesn't look like bacterial, but been given antibiotics in case it might be, and due to having had the cough for so long.

Also have an app for hospital for chest X-ray; turns out one of the nurses working in the ward I was on, last November, got him/her-self infected with TB, and so there is a slim risk I've got TB really unlikely... but the GP had the letter that had gone out to all patients, including me, who this affected, and so, he's playing safe - will ring hospital some time soon, to book the app for the X-ray

so knackered since meet on Saturday

Very busy at gym, did sunday, Monday and Tuesday, off today to catch up at home, and do laundry etc and cook a massive chicken cauliflower and chickpea curry

Gym tomorrow, then maybe Saturday, Sunday Monday off, then very busy Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday at work/gym, including helping put together a new group at gym, for circuit training, designing the training etc

Sorry to hear you're still struggling with the sore throat... That is strange that it has hung around for nearly a month... The cough may be an allergy? The pollen count so far this year seems to have been extra high, so other people I know have been coughing more than usual...

Sorry the Meet knackered you, but it was great that you were able to make it Sorry the chair situation was not very good in the bar, so I couldn't quite get round to speak to you properly, but I said hello to W and I certainly admired your leopard-print outfit

Glad they'll do an xray, better safe than sorry. Hope ist's nothing nasty.

What Bel said

Well, I think the sore throat/cough was indeed bacterial; a few days on the antibiotics and my lymph glands in my neck have shrunk back down to nearer normal, and the throat is miles better, already - I think the GP was forgetting, that due to my medications and the hormone problems, I don't necessarily present normal bacterial infection symptoms; I.E., my temp doesn't necessarily rise...

I think this weather is making me feel weird (well, weirder than normal/actual levels of normal can vary, normality not insured, weirdness may alter) - a few hot days I adapt a bit... then this cold again and I can't adapt back quick enough

Plus did rather bash ourselves at gym last/this week, sunday Monday Tuesday were pretty full on Thursday yesterday I just worked muscles solidly back, shoulders and arms, for over an hour - next week looks more hectic, with this circuit training thing to help figure out, plus doing it and useual clients to train plus our own training

Yes, seating was a bit of a problem....

Glad to hear you're better. I hardly ever get a fever, no matter how ill I may be.

Before all my internal body systems died, if on the rare occasions I got ill/a cold/infection etc, I'd never be ill long, and similarly, never get a fever....

The weirdest now, is feeling ill every day, all day long, its often hard to know when I am* actually* ill - its the most tiring thing of my being ill now, its the constant having to 'scan' my own body, to try figure out if I'm 'ill' beyond, 'being ill' - E.G., I feel dizzy pretty much all of th e time, but having felt like that now for several years, I know I'm not* dizzy/won't fall over randomly... but I do then have to constantly try figure out if I'm just 'feeling' dizzy, or, if, I was to suddenly actually* be dizzy - feeling stonned all the time isn't much help either and just so 'distant, abscent' from myself and the world around me very hard to explain, like wading all the time through a treacle fog actually, that's a rubbish comparisosnork>

The fever I get now, if I go into adrenal crisis, is horrible... - shivering, feeling freezing but being so cold too, yet running a temp - without running a temp Simularly sweating so much say in bed; only to feel my skin, and its not only dry, but stone cold - being cold and hot at the same time all the time is also pretty disabilitating, I really* 'never know what to wear', as I can't dress to the temp as I perceive it, although I have to

Sore throat seems gone now; lymph nodes/glands still shrinking down, and a couple days on the antibiotics left to go

Well, I hope the cold went somewhere else now.

Yep, cough/sore throat gone now; had the X-ray today, at hospital, to rule out TB, so will maybe get results from that at some point, - they won't be sent to me, but to the GP, as the GP ordered the test, so its useually hit and miss, if the GP bothers giving me the actual results (OK if I remember I'll try see if I can spot them on the GP website, later this week/next week)

Which reminds me... guess I could have a look on the online GP patient website thingy

XRay was back on the GP system... no leisions on lungs, no enlargement of heart. Which is odd, as I have an enlarged heart

That's good news.

The medical plot thickens, though, as ever...

Yes. ever moreso. - esp with my recent discovery, thanks to the new smart watch/sports watch; my HR is higher when I sleep than when I exercise seriously?! - is everything with my body just upsidedown/the wrong way round? - I always knew I was different.... but being 'not human' wasn't quite what I thought it'd turn out to be

Explains a lot though

I can't explain what I can't perceive. but I can't perceive the explicable, inexplicably, the perceived is often inperceptable, I thereby presume that the percieviable perception of reality is just the mirror of unreality filtered through the inexplicable filter of illusion.

Innit.

Reality is often just as overrated as inexplicable for us I think

how true and only the reality that can be unexpected, is to be expected, if not expecting it. as my Grandmother used to say...

Everybody ought to expect the inquisitive unexpectedness

I enquired about the inquisitive unexpectedness; only, it turned out, oddly, they just were not prepared for the enquirey, and hadn't, indeed, even expected it;
