This might sound weird....

[Smilesalot]

I'm feeling very strange for me. I'm incredibly irritable, tearful( more than usual), and hate having clothes on. Feel like I'm burning and suffocating ,anxious 😓, I even don't want my glasses on. It's driving me nuts.. It's slowly spreading throughout. Advise please ?🤗🤗🤗🤗🤔

[Blue-52]

ahh bless you, it’s horrible on these low days, but you have all of us to try and help, personally I am 24/7 in a sarong, it’s loose, but it helps my skin, it sounds like you are having a anxiety attack, so breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, slowly, try and take yourself off somewhere in your mind, to a quiet place where you feel comfortable and relaxed, not easy I know, when you feel this way.

Sending you lots of healing hugs 🤗 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Smilesalot in reply to Blue-52]

Thank you Blue🙂,Most unpleasant 😓. I've had panic attacks since I was young. This one is new to me. I already wear very baggy clothes. Of thin material. My whole neck and torso have always been hypersensitive in fact I have an invisible tight band around my tummy but there nothing there ???? I'm used to that. My friend Jon begged me not to the cheeky mare that stopped me doing it lol.

Yesterday was particularly bad and today isn't much better pain wise. The skin burning recently started spreading. It's very painful. It's a whole body pain of every thing. Nothing helps.

Anyway between you and Jon I'm breathing better🙄🤗😂😆😉thanks honey.

[Blue-52 in reply to Smilesalot]

I know, they can be scary, and new symptoms slip in, glad to hear you are breathing better, keep your chin up hun, you are stronger than you think. 🤗🤗

Afternoon, I have a very loose fitting dress on today even though it’s chilly and rainy I hate layers, sometimes when I’m feeling anxious and out of sorts I play music on my iPad, sometimes it’s waterfalls, dolphins sounds, the waves hitting the shore, anything I can take my mind off everything and close my eyes, feeling low today is proberly that you are feeling out of sorts or unwell☹️, I hope Friday is going too be better and I’m sending lots of hugs over xx

[Smilesalot in reply to Yassytina]

Thank you Yassy,Yes the weather is Crap here today to.

Just eaten a tomato 🍅lol.

I want chocolate really but that has to wait until my birthday.

What are you up to today honey 🤗?

I'm in so much physical pain I can't concentrate on anything except this I suppose. I'm so tired.

But the swans had a good feed lol.

I've been watching kitten s on YouTube this morning before Jon got up.

I forgot my morphine🙄🙄🙄🙄😮

I'm only half an hour out.

I hope you manage to sleep well tonight

Hugs Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🙃🤗🤗🤗😍❤

[Smilesalot in reply to Yassytina]

I miss buying snacks lol.I m stuck going through my memory of what I like.

Jon shops online and sanitises what I buy 😂😂😂😂😋😋😋.

Are the boys excited ?

It's gonna be wet weather for us at the weekend meh.

Pain bad today too. Just typing with one finger( you can see I'm sophisticated lol) hurts like mad,like my joints are twisting but all the way up my arm😖.

Could be worse off. So I'll do what I need to not be annoying too much lol😂😂😂😅😆😉. Just not possible.

I'm alone today yey. Jon's in his office. He'll be angry when he gets home as he's in a whole day meeting😒

You have a great day Yassy 🤗🤗🤗🙃D

[Gulfstream_Maggie]

Aww Dawn it’s not nice when it’s one of those down days. I’m currently in an oversized t-shirt and baggy joggers. I also have a couple of kaftans for days when I need to be all loosey-goosey and cool!!!

My feet/ankles are currently swollen and I can only wear crocs at the mo! Feeling quite dizzy and jelly like, my balance also seems to be shot to pieces.

Not exactly conducive to job hunting and concentration levels.

I sometimes wonder if some of this could be related to the last Covid booster!

[Smilesalot in reply to Gulfstream_Maggie]

It totally could Maggie. Jon still isn't right from his Moderna Covid jab. He's improving.When did you have yours 🤗?

[Smilesalot in reply to Smilesalot]

I hit reply too soon lol one of those 😩.What has the Dr said about ur symptoms and are they giving you treatment?

Have you been over doing it too sweet s?🤗

I kept getting cramp everywhere yest.

Yeah that feeling is coming back feck !

Meds time for me.

Catch up with you later hugs Dawn 🤗🤗

[Gulfstream_Maggie]

We had the Pfizer booster on November 2024. We’ve both been periodically feeling yucky but nothing you can really put your finger on!

[Smilesalot in reply to Gulfstream_Maggie]

Poor Jon got mild psychosis. He's never had troubles before. Fever chills pain snotty headaches..like I said he's on the mend but still working and looking after me.I'm sorry ur experiencing these things🙃🤒🙁.

I hope you're improving eventually.

I need puppies and kittens.

HugsMaggie🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Smilesalot in reply to Smilesalot]

We had ours over 2 weeks ago . Thank you for your time hugs Dawn 🤗

Take your clothes off (close the curtains first).I am often oversensitive all over and become even more grumpy than usual so I shut myself in a room with the only chair I am comfortable in when I feel like that and watch stuff on my tablet minus clothes and with fans blowing (I'm currently rewatching NYPD Blue but anything will do).

I have found that my body is telling me to do, or don't do, stuff so I try to listen and do as I'm told.

I'm not very good with the "Spoon Theory" stuff (although who doesn't like to spoon?) because I'm useless at pacing myself.

When I'm feeling well I frantically get on with stuff and then suffer for it the following day, or week.

When I'm feeling bad I do nothing, or the bare minimum.

[Smilesalot in reply to Carlt]

Hi Carlt,Thank you for your reply🤗

I will give it a go later as it hasn't passed yet.

My carer Kat will be here at 10.30 am to give me a bed bath yey.

It sounds like you do it often ?

I'm short of breath today again but it could be the Copd.

I found lanacane works numbing some of the burning pain briefly😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁😁😁😁 on my legs and back of my hands but it stinks lol😂😂😂.

I hope you don't experience this to often as it's a nightmare.

I'm exhausted and brain fog gy.

I hope you're having a good day honey😊🤗🤗🤗

Dawn

[Smilesalot in reply to Carlt]

Hi again Carlt.I tried it😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅🤔

It happened after 11 and I lay on my bed naked for about 20 minutes. Was weird at first but eventually I relaxed then had a giggling fit hehehe. Unfortunately I was so cold I had to curtail how long I did it for.

Thanks for the heads up 😁🤗 hugs Dawn 🤗

[MaggieSylvie]

Hi there, Dawn, it's good to hear from you, though not good to hear how you are. I'm feeling so terribly tired, and there's good reason for it, but I want to just sleep, and I imagine that a good sleep would help you. I can't write much at the moment; my life isn't my own any more and I just feel so exhausted, so I'm going to try and get some rest that I was begrudged yesterday.

We've had the district nurse on the phone supervising John's insulin injection, and I can't understand why he needs it; he's a bit "village idiot" but that's something he can always take seriously. I don't know where the carer has got to but we have now got a keysafe so they can let themselves in. I have yet to pass the code on to the district nurse admin, but there are so many of them. Well, I have to trust them. Just so tired. Hope you feel cooler soon and kick out the tearfulness. As I said, perhaps all you need is some sleep. It seems to reset us. Take care in all the ways you can think of.🤗🤗

[Smilesalot in reply to MaggieSylvie]

Oh sweetie it sounds like your life has been taken over but no help for you. That's ps me off on ur behalf.You rest up and remember to take care of yourself if you can hugs Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🙃🤗🤗🤗😍❤❤❤❤.

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Smilesalot]

Thanks Dawn for understanding. It's not remembering to take care of myself - it's the struggle for that to be allowed. Just to be allowed to rest, to sleep - basic for anyone, healthy or unhealthy.

[Smilesalot in reply to MaggieSylvie]

I see. That's plain wrong ur in that situation.Thinking of you sweetie 🤗🤗🤗🙃Dawn

[Debsdelight72]
