Hi all, well am having the day off work today. Had a sore throat this morning and since the period of low blood levels is starting tomorrow, I thought it best to have a rest. I am not too bad otherwise. Energy levels are fairly good. I've had an on and off poppy tummy and that embarrassing burping, though I think that was down to the anti sickness drugs as certainly the last couple of days since I came off the drugs seems to have calmed that down a bit.
So, just watching myself lots at the moment to see what happens with the throat and any other symptoms. I also have a bit of a buzzy ear! If I am tired or a bit stressed I get a pulsey/buzzy thing in my ear which is a bit annoying. I get it on and off but it's been pretty constant the last couple of days, which is a bit irritating.
Ordered some wigs online from hothair.com which came today so looking forward to trying them on! Another thing I've noticed last couple of days is I feel very dry - hair, skin, mouth - I've had a bit of the cotton-woolly feeling in my mouth which I've heard others report on and it does seem rather dehydration-related. So on that note I'm going to go and get some lunch and a big glass of water!
