Type 2 Life

How is the thrush medication panning out? I hope things are alot better.
I saw your message earlier about your sleeping aid needs adjusting. I hope that gets done soon so you can have better quality sleep. We all deserve that.
Good job you havent got a baby in the house. It would be a disaster. You would just get off to sleep when they start.
At least there is an end to your symptoms and a show of great promise. Hope it all gets sorted soon mate. :)
I thought about starting a family in my late 20's. Now at 48, the peace and quiet of just me at home is very appealing. I'm glad the thrush is ending...yay! :)
 
Son isn't getting any worse so gp adviced me to continue him on water only and calpol when can. When he keeps it down.
I guess that's him off this week. They have to have 2 days clear before they can return.
I don't mind. I enjoy his company. He slept better last night so let's see what tonight brings.
Hubby has bought me a treat. So I'm off to munch it.
Thank you everyone who supports me. You are my wonderful darlings! Especially you @liam1955 .♡♥♡
That's fantastic news Vicky, what a relief! Enjoy your time with him, and your well deserved treat :)
 
That is brilliant. Look at you! If you haven't lost this week I'll eat my hat.
Ps. Avatar makes you look very slim. You are truely conquering this diabetes. Well done!
Aww thanks Vicky! I surprised myself, I would never have had the energy before I started low carbing. I've only got 6 pounds to go before I hit my target but I don't want to overdo it - I made that mistake before
 
@Diamum5972 - Thank You Barbara for that information = much appreciated. :) Anymore good ideas or gadgets you have? Do share!! William x :D
Lol no problem. I usually leave the gadgets to A, he's the expert but when I saw this pedometer for that price I couldn't say no! I was thinking about getting a fitbit until I saw the price and my thrifty Scottish genes won out :D

Ron got his fitband from promotion packs of special K bars. For someone who is supposed to be on light duties he ain't half doing alot of walking at work .

Hi Girls. Just bought one from Amazon - it was £2.99, but got it for £1.04 and post free too. :) Pedometer that is! Just had a thought, would it record hopping on one leg too?:D

Only way to find that out is to do it . Not going to ask Ron to do it though as his balance is rubbish at the moment . He cant even stand on two feet without the wobbles.
 
Hi:). Can someone answer this question? I had 2 Steroid Injections on Friday (3 days ago now) How soon should I start to feel the effects from the Steroid working on my joints? Because I don't feel any different! = Thanks in advance :)
Short-acting work within hours but only last for a week or so. Longer-acting solution can take up to a week to take effect but should last for a couple of months. Your practice could tell you which one you had...
Hugs xx
 
Thanks Folks :). Because of never having Steroids before, - I thought by having them injected it would be more or less an immediate effect (within 24 hours), my joints and Knee are all the same as before the injections. Only thing I have is 2 tender lumps on my right buttock where the injections went. The Rheumatologist did give me her Secretary's phone number and I do remember something about after a week!!
It sounds as if you had the longer-lasting version, then, which should start to work by this Weds or Thurs but should last for a month or two. That would make sense, as your knee should have pretty much healed by then. Fingers crossed.
Hugs xx
 
@Sable_Jan - No. Rheumy sent me for multiple X-Rays and bloods to be done first, then the Nurse said the injections were Intramuscular. :) I am at the Hospital next Thursday f o r something else, so I could leave a message with the Rheumy's Secretary.
I think the intramuscular injections are the longer-lasting ones... The ones they inject into the joints seem to work pretty much straight away, although they don't last very long. (Sorry for the slow responses - I've missed 24 hours because I was laid up myself!)
 
Good gracious 20,000 is brilliant Barbara roughly how many miles? I used to know
Depends on your length of step. Mine's from DCUK shop and you take 10 steps, measure it, divide by 10 and that's what you set it to for accurate, at least more accurate, mileage. It's set at 30" and my step is only 22".... You also set your weight for it to work out calories used.
