Hi everyone,happy first June!
Short and sweet as Im ready to stay in my cabin and sleep after spending 14 hours in A and E.
Ive got shingles,doctor sent me to hozzy as I was having difficulty breathing.
Really hard to be in A and E at the weekend,it gets soooooo noisy and busy,but after triage I was put in isolation in a quiet corner,with a bed and a comfy armchair. So at least I wasnt on a hard chair for hours. The staff were wonderful,we are so lucky. Despite all its shortcomings,the NHS performs miracles every day
Good luck for the month ahead! XXXX

YOWZER I’m so sorry to hear that you had to go to A&E. I had no idea shingles could cause breathing issues. How are you now? Im glad you got good care and really hope that they have sorted the problem.
Please get plenty of rest and know that we’re all thinking of you. I’ll say a little prayer for you now. If there’s anything we can do to help just shout : I think you have an email address for me from that time we were experiencing issues with the forum and wanted a backup plan for keeping in touch? So please let me know if you need help X

Yowser- sending you get well soon wishes. So sorry to hear you had to go to A&E. Certainly puts things into perspective. Rest up and hopefully you’ll be soon feeling better. I agree with you that we are so lucky to have the NHS to take care of us when we need them.

Its is so painful I had it on n February this year I know what you are going through I pray 🙏 you feel better soon get plenty of rest if you canI am in Switzerland 🇨🇭 had a few days with my sister I fly back today my husband booked me a flight ✈️ he thought it would help me as I cannot seem to get out if my depression she is great we have talked and I feel more positive now she knows I feel unhappy as my weight has gone up so I will board the boat ⛴️ again and get my act together.
DCT I see you are doing 30 day challenge sounds a good idea thinking I might give it a go as you say cannot believe mm has been gone a year on 5th June we do need to all do this for him and make him proud😘
Cathy 2 pounds is ok I wish mine was only 2!!! You can do this especially as you have goals to help you get there
I am going to pack now as I leave this morning just hope I can put into practice what my sister has said it’s easier when you are away but I think I am ready to board the ⛴️ boat with you all thanks for all you messages you really are a great bunch see you on board
The only question I have 🤦♀️is can we have low fat yogurt and no butter I thought mm said we had to have full fat milk etc????
Bye for now
Have a good week all

I was thinking about you NOKIE,remembering you had had shingles. Thanks for the kind wishes. How long did you have it for? Its absolutely horrible isnt it. I have had slapped cheek syndrome for weeks and doc said thats prob activated shingles – what fun!
Stick to full fat yogs etc.. low fat anythjng usually has a ton of sugar and additives and thickeners to make it seem more palatable. Make sure you get enough protein and fat,and keep the carbs on the down low. I have whole milk if I’m having low carb cereal and semi skimmed in tea. Heylo low carb granola is tasty and filling – full of seeds and coconut.
Siometimes though,we can think we are doing the right thing,but we arent – i was astonished to learn in the bad foods for shingles list that nuts and seeds are included. Who wd have thunk!
Last week I only had water all week,one pear and two small slices of toast – eating a bit more now,but its quite pleasant to have little or no appetite for a while.
Love to all,have a good week xx -
Hi everyone,
Yowzer I’m so sorry to hear about your shingles having such awful effects and am sending you lots of hugs and hope you feel better soon. Also sending hugs to everyone else going through difficult times at the minute.
I should be weighing myself tomorrow but am delaying it as had a week in the Scottish Highlands last week and doubt I will have lost anything whilst I was there!
Wishing everyone a good week.
