Well as the previous post said until Thursday evening I felt fine, a bit weak but generally ok.
Throughout the Thursday night I woke up a few times feeling nauseous but managed not to actually be sick, until the morning. At 6:30 I couldn't hold it anymore and was quite sick. I took the anti sickness pill and actually felt a bit worse, at 11:00 I took the daily medication I have bed given with a glass of water and it was like a comedy sketch from little Britain the sickness just went on and on. I couldn't leave the house on Friday at all and felt bad through the night and well into Sat afternoon. I took the anti sickness pill mid afternoon sat and felt queasy after it so decided not to take the other later on and I felt a lot better. Until. Just before bed I thought lets take the anti sickness as I didn't want to have a bad night again, I just wanted to sleep. I took the pill and headed upstairs, brushed teeth etc then threw up a few times,
I had a better sleep last night and feel considerably better today so far, I have become convinced its the anti sickness pills that are somehow not agreeing with me. I felt fine until I took them and thinking over the past few days I felt worse after taking them. I guess as I don't know what to expect I just thought that was the norm.
I have an appointment for bloods tomorrow and shall mention this to them,
On top of all this my wonderfull partner Gail has come down with a flu like symptoms. So we called then number they gave me to ask for advice, sleep in separate beds and be carefull not to share, towels, cups, glasses etc. I was asked from the first post if I felt I could work, and I said yes. But after the past few days I have to say there is no way I could do the work I do feeling the way I do now, I did try to get the docs to say I could but they all advised not to and I have to say so far they have been right. Take care everyone
