Mentally feeling a bit meh, a few work issues is making me feel very anxious and giving me the feeling that I need to leave - I love it, but it's MW and really not worth this level of stress. I'm dreadful when it comes to interviews though, so that's setting my anxiety off even further.

So I've brought myself upstairs for a nice long bath and an earlier than usual night. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

Sitting in Urgent Treatment Centre waiting to be assessed for another UTI

Treated last October, but now bilateral flank pain and almost incontinent

Been here 2 hours already, brought a fresh urine sample, was told I'd waited too long, so it was destroyed and now have been waiting just as long with a fresh sample

Ispywithmycynicaleye · 13/01/2024 23:03

I've just had surgery for that, I have chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet. Sending a billion hugs ❤️

In response to @EC22

I very rarely get ill but have been run down since before Christmas. I seem to have fatigue as walking up stairs or any sort of physical exertion is like doing a HIIT workout. My legs feel like lead, and my lung capacity seems reduced, it's been like this for 2/3 weeks. I was hoping it would just get better (am reasonably fit and healthy) but it hasn't. I'll ring the GP next week....

I was exactly like that with a vitamin d deficiency

Moier · 13/01/2024 23:08

@EC22 and others with plantar fasciitis.

I had it for years and the thing that got rid of it was being religious in my regime of warming up ankles and feet in bed before putting them on the ground, using a spiky foot roller first thing and then warming up calf/legs with some stretches. I wore these constantly too, which were a godsend.

Full thickness bowl prolapse , some days I seem to never be able to move away from the toilet , others I just feel so drained , today is a bad day.
Sorry to everyone whose suffering on here

PickAChew · 13/01/2024 23:26

Niggly tooth that needs sorting out. It's become very sensitive. Taken all the available drugs for my achy joints, which have helped.

Blurry eye annoying me. Had cataract removed a couple of months ago but it's gone cloudy again and needs another zap.

Dodie66 · 13/01/2024 23:29

Esophagal spasms and keep being sick every day. Today is particularly bad
had some tests and waiting for another test. Food,is not going down properly. Lost a lot of weight. Consultant appointment not till april

Astridastro · 13/01/2024 23:45

Sorry to everyone who is feeling horrible.

Ive just got my usual fibromyalgia pain but what is annoying my is one of my fingers, I got my nails done and I think they were too rough because one of my fingers is swollen. and down by the side of the nail is bleeding and sore.

thirdistheonewiththehairychest · 13/01/2024 23:50

Got sore lips from picking them. Inside of my cheeks are sore from biting them. Thumb nail is sore from picking. Thanks ADHD.

thirdistheonewiththehairychest · 13/01/2024 23:52

Oh and my heart hurts from having told our DC today that their Grandad isn't going to recover from his cancer. DH tried to tell them but couldn't get the words out.

FuckinghellthatsUnbelievable · 13/01/2024 23:53

Dicky tummy for a good month now. Can't shake it feels fine then sudden bloating, cramps and toilet visits. On the upside I've dropped five kilos.

allaboardtheskytrain · 13/01/2024 23:54

My upper arms are hurting and I don't know why...they've been painful for months if I raise them above a certain height.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/01/2024 00:07

I’m on antibiotics for tonsilitis but feel cold-y as well today - coughing and snotty.

19lottie82 · 14/01/2024 00:07

I’ve got a swollen and sore eye lid. I’m not sure what’s caused it. Hopefully it will be better in the morning.

Diagnosed with pyelonephritis.

Got a prescription for Ciprofloxacin for the morning

JMSA · 14/01/2024 00:26

Extremely itchy upper feet and lower calves tonight. Like, I could have clawed at them until they bled.
Could be menopausal itching, or the start of diabetes. I must get it checked out.

Early stage endometrial cancer discovered just before Christmas so a full hysterectomy next week.

Oh my goodness, the BEST of luck for your operation FlowersFlowersFlowers x

Tail end of some virus, thought I was over it but started on the coughing today. Pressure in my ears. Feel wobbly if I try to do anything.

Have just woken up with this weird thing I get sometimes. It's like a wave of tightness/mild pain in my chest and my heart is beating faster. Always when I'm just drifting off at night. Often then followed by diarrhoea, which I think is from anxiety. Have been to a&e previously but they couldn't find anything wrong, could be reflux or muscular or sth, obviously in the night I'm panicking that it's something wrong with my heart. So that's fun.

Also got a sore breast lump that I need to get checks out, and I've done something to my knee.

Think that's it at the moment!

Trilateralcommission2 · 14/01/2024 00:55

runny nose (almost like a tap at times), high temp, on and off coughing, and some mucus when coughing

Thethuthinang · 14/01/2024 01:00

I have COVID. Husband has COVID. DS19 has COVID. The cat, who has breathing issues, has had her feelings hurt because we can't cuddle her because we don't want her to get COVID.

Chickenkeev · 14/01/2024 01:05

Sorry to all of you that are experiencing seious/horrible conditions 🙁 mine is a cold or flu that's gone on for months now. It started as pretty much immobilising me for a couple of weeks, but the cough/snot (sorry!) has continued. Never had anything like it before, and i've had bad chest infections etc. It just won't shift. All sorts going around though.

Babyroobs · 14/01/2024 01:07

Loads of things ! Bad backache, horrible reflux thing where I have badly choked a few times recently, palpitations, general low mood.

flumposie · 14/01/2024 01:09

Had covid in December and still not 100%. Horrendous vertigo attack last weekend that caused me to be sick.
Tuesday night I felt like I was having a mental breakdown ( overwhelmed by all parts of my life) and then on Thursday started with a diverticulitis flare up which is ongoing. I am fed up of never feeling up to doing things.
