Well after a few days in Hospital of feeling pretty crap I've woken up today feeling a hell of a better. I was getting really concerned about the diarrhea, I've literally had it since I was discharged and they were close to sticking a camera up my arse to find out what was going on. Luckily it turns out that the magnesium tablets just don't agree with me and since I've stopped taking them I've been fine. This is doubly excellent because those tablets were bloody horrible.
I'm still running a fairly high temperature for some reason, yesterday I started getting headaches most of the day which paracetemol didn't really touch so I had to get on the Cocodamol. I've had them today as well but they seem to have calmed down for now. Another strange thing is that I've thrown-up after the last two lots of pills I've taken today, which is very unusual for me. Possibly because I've tried to take them on an empty stomach and now my stomach is slightly more normal it doesn't appreciate that.
After I get some blood results back, to check with I need a potassium top-up or not, I should be able to go out for a while and possibly stay at home tonight if I don't need any fluids or anything, which would be excellent. I've taken on-board some of the comments I've had on my last blog comment, I really do need to have somebody around, I can't be on my own at this stage being so tired all the time. I've moved in to my girlfriends place now but unfortunately she's just started a placement as a teaching assistant in a primary school back where her parents live so she's there during the week and only with me on the weekends. Still that's only for a few more weeks.

Hi there, sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope that you are now getting some kind of support whether it be emotional or practical. It must be difficult for you as a young person to have your life put on hold. Take care love and try to keep your spirits up (not alcoholic ones lol). Thinking of you and worrying about you lol (I am everyone's mum lol). Hopefully you will be able to enjoy some of the fine weather and get out for a while. x x x
Hi Will, you certainly sound more upbeat which is good news. Did you manage to get home, or is that in plan for the weekend, probably best when someone is around. Cocodamol can make you feel and be sick ... still hopefully if your tummy feels more 'normal' you will be able to eat and tolerate your tablets. Fingers (and toes) crossed for you.
Any news on your exams? I know laot of the Uni results cme out today ......
Do keep us posted as to how you are getting on and I really am pleased to hear you so much more upbeat - take care and do listen to your body (and us 'old' mums!!)
