    Morning all, the joys of not being as fit as i was i suppose, I wouldn't mind but the Doctors have not seen me ftf since my back as gone this bad, they past me straight back to the hospital, i suppose i am lucky that i have been under the hospital for many years with my spine, could all this, that i am having now be associated with not being as active as i was 2-3 years ago ? I only stopped struggling into work from Sept "21" a job were i was constantly on my feet. We used to love walking, used do 4-5 miles on our walks, can't do that now, i am trying to build up to walking more tho and push my self to walk round the block each day, some days are harder then others. I put a stone on when i was on the Duluxotine and i suffered with terrible bloating, since i have been of those meds my weight has stopped going on and i have lost about 4lb so far, still having sweets, odd dizzy spells, blood pressure keeps fluctuating. I would say i am 1 and half stones over weight, I do feel something else is going on but Locum just said my bloods were good !!!
    Try and practice mindfulness perhaps a bit of yoga and drink lots of water !!!!! I am an advocate of supplements and take different vits/min to support my bones, perhaps i don't like being told i am "Not a fit person" i don't knowwwww.

    Oh well enough about me, told you i should of started another thread ha ha.
    Ps yes tonic water is very good, i have half a pint a day when i have restless legs or cramps, schwepps slimline has  more quin in it then shop branded. 
    Have a great day my friends xxx

    @SueHeath sorry you are having these issues so annoying when you build yourself up for gp appt then they dismiss how you are feeling . You know your own body and when things are not right 

    Leave it few weeks see how you get on and go back if needed you might get different doc

    Morning all  @SueHeath I would definatly go back to your gp. I know how you feel about walking, I get really tired on shopping trips. Its no fun. I have thought about walking round the block each day to build up, is that something you can try. 

    I find these days getting repetitive lately, house work, laundry cooking

    @SueHeath

    I find these days you have to make a nuisance of yourself to get any help from doctors (and other services).

    E.g. keep going back until you get help, keep asking, make a fuss, don't give up.

    Not nice for those of us who prefer to be quiet and unassuming but I think the various services see us as an easy "customer" as they know we won't like to make a fuss.

    Thanks both probably just feeling sorry for myself ha ha, i don't like that usually just brush myself down and get on with things, the Doc's are a joke tho, can't even get one of our old doctors now, nearly always a locum and always over the phone !!!
    Yep @Sandy_123 since the Doc at the hospital told me to try and walk/keep moving, through the pain, i have been trying to go round the block most days, i use my stick, wont try walking any were else because i do feel vunrable when i'm on my own, hope that makes sense, when hubby's not decorating we drive to a lovely spot were we used to do lots of walking, so i am trying, just sitting here typing having a major flush now, cold feet but body sweeting ha ha, can't still be the change for gods sake started that 15 years ago ha ha x

    @SueHeath yes I get not feeling safe on your own. Here we have a local ramblers club where group of people go for walks together, to be honest tho, I doubt they  are at my slow pace. They are all kitted up in hiking boots and ruck sacks. I usually watch them when I'm waiting for the bus. 
    Its ok to feel down every now and then

    I just got an email inviting me to get a winter COVID vaccine “because I’m over 50 or am at increased risk due to a health condition”. I’m under 50 and I didn’t know I had any health conditions relevant to Covid. I certainly wasn’t eligible for an early vaccine when they did the previous ones. Have they changed the list of conditions that make you eligible for an early vaccine?

    I booked a vaccine anyway.

    Good afternoon all, sorry @66Mustang i've just noticed you've changed your picture ha ha, if your offered it and your okay to have it go for your booster mustang, i would be glad about my sons having it.
    Same trouble with me @Sandy_123 notifications popping up all over the place, the team must be working on it ha ha. Lovely sunny day here, went for a nice drive through the country side to a little town about half an hours drive out for us, had a lovely walk up and down the high street and brought a couple of Christmas presents, it was one of those spur of the moment trips, which was lovely. 
    Hope your all well today xx
