Twig, sorry to hear you are poorly chick. Are you eating anything?

Cappuccino · 20/02/2007 10:01

are you on antibiotics?

I had the dry mouth thing with those

saw your down thread the other day

if it's any consolation I've had some crappy low level thing for ages - there was a thread yesterday and it seemed practically everyone else does too

Cappuccino · 20/02/2007 10:02

a while ago I had a sinus thing that gave me a rotten taste in my mouth

Greensleeves · 20/02/2007 10:03

ADs can cause dry mouth and dizziness. If you're not on those though, I don't know.

but are you eating? Could it be hyperglycaemia? (Can't spell, but hoping you know what I mean)

yes I'm eating .. what's hyperglyc-whatever you said?

('kin 'ell at the way I spelled 'broken' in OP )

low blood sugar
What about anaemic? Without supplements, I constantly dip to borderline anaemia & that makes you feel tired, far away, not quite with it.
If you have kidney pain - could it be a kidney stone? I don't know what the symptoms are of those, but could it be that?

Floradix is fab stuff. I take it, think I'm wonderwoman again & stop taking it & then go all stupid & can't work out why I feel so crap!
