    14th May

    Today I was so tired I didn’t manage to get out of bed until 1:00. I felt really embarrassed about this – what sort of life will I have left if I can’t get out of bed and function?

    Hubby cycled into town (about an 18 mile round trip) to do some shopping and when he got back I had my weekly bath which was lovely as usual.

    We went to see the GP today to discuss the possibility of seeing a urologist…

    1st May

    Very tired today; had several daytime snoozes to catch up! The good news is I do not appear to be suffering with the nausea anymore so the new tablets are working.

    Tomorrow we have a new settee and chair being delivered (a recliner nonetheless!), so we had to move the old furniture into the garage as they were delivering the new set at 8:30 the following morning. This meant that we didn’t have anything to sit…

Things have been getting on top of him recently as he wants to get away in our caravan and enjoy a bit of time away whilst the sun is briefly making an appearance. Unfortunately every…

    12th April

    I think I am probably going to be on the regular paracetamol again as this morning’s new symptom (!) is a niggling ache in my back. Not too bad though, bearable at least.

    My temperature is up a bit as well and I’m having hot flushes (I wonder if this is the menopause coming on, something I was warned could happen). Sweating like a nun in a brothel is not an attractive look though ….
