Still Raining...

A Flower in my Sisters Garden, 2004

...but my Imodium "Umbrella" is working just fine.

It hasn't gone away! It has been 5 days now since it first started. The Imodium helps things a lot though. But it is only covering over the underlying reasons for it's being there. As soon as the Imodium wares off, it seems to come back.
Again this morning, My breakfast triggered off another bout! My night didn't go too well as it goes. After I got out of the bath after my bike ride, I began to feel more and more unwell, until I felt as though I had mild flu. I had to turn on my central heating for the first time since last winter.
This lasted for around 3/4 hours until it just seemed to disappear. Also during my feeling chilly, I had sweats and felt hot too. But as I said, by morning I was ok again, until breakfast.
Again I called my Docs and was asked to come in. They have taken samples of my blood & urine. Took my temperature (36.7). I couldn't produce a poop sample due to the Imodium having it's desired effect. I have to bring in a sample tomorrow.
I am feeling much better tonight, although I do seem to have lost my appetite somewhat. I'm sure I will loose a little weight during this 'spell'. But at least I know I can pop out and get some 'fast food' to get the calories etc. I have to drink more water too.
Besides all that, I am feeling fine. My gums are a little sore on one side (no blood). Nothing else to report.
I am not in too much pain; I can walk; & I am not puking all the time! It could be so much worse.
