i dont even want to take a chance with water

dont want to move incase i pass out

What is your BG?
Some of what you have described are indications for me that my BG is high.
However, feeling like that also raises my BG so it is difficult to tell which came first.

Sounds like a virus. If you’re worried, call your GP or 111 but fluids, analgesia and wait it out.

Norovirus is acute and highly contagious. Take care!

hot water bottle, lots of warm drinks, quiet music and a virtual hug from me. Hope you're well soon

Yes, sounds like a nasty virus. They do come on quickly. Try to drink a lot of fluids.

I felt like that last August.My three metformin a day absolutely turned my stomach.The dose was ok when I was 18 stone but not 12.I reduced them down to 2 a day and can just stomach it.But it was really bad,just a thought.

Veg soup a little at a time should be really good

 

[licklemoose]

Veg soup a little at a time should be really good

ive managed a big mug of the soup (its one of my faves, cauliflower, broccoli and mixed veg)
and about 1 1/2 liters of juice and water
cheese and tomatoe sandwich (i know not the best but i really fancied it)

 

[SueJB]

@licklemoose, sounds like you're getting much better. Cheese and tom sandwich is not half bad, brilliant. A bit of what you fancy does you good

 

[licklemoose]

hope its ok to share this..........crochet pennywise the dancing clown
but this is what i completed when sick
hes far from perfect, his legs are back to front (very twisted to go forward lol) his eye brows are wrong but it was a very complicated pattern and my head wasnt in the right place and i didnt pay attention to the pattern
ive started the 2nd one and his legs too are backwards but i know where im going wrong so the others should be ok
you can laugh because i have been
