Me & My Health #17

This will be the last Me & My Health blog post for this year and thought I would do this.

Saturday 6th November 2021: I got a letter from the hospital saying I needed to take another 9am blood test so went for one today and oh my, it hurt so bad, this test is for my thyroids, kidney function and also cortisol.

Monday 8th November 2021: I have been feeling rough recently and I think it is because I have got a cold but also I am just run down, I work a 8 till 5 job Monday to Friday as well as my own online store and a blog I feel like I am burnt out and I always feel like this, this time of the year but to be on the safe side I did a few lateral flow tests and they came back negative, I did then over different time periods.


Tuesday 16th November 2021: I have been suffering with a really bad tummy ache and it is making me cry.


Wednesday 17th November 2021: The stomach ache is continue but what's worrying me is the smell of my urine, I am peeing a lot more frequently but small amounts. The smell of my urine smells a lot like hair removal cream.


Thursday 18th November 2021: I had a phone call appointment with my GP and she diagnosed me with a kidney infection and prescribed me with some antibiotics.


Monday 29th November 2021: Yesterday I started getting pains in my side and peeing loads so rang the doctors, gave a urine sample and I have another kidney infection so on Co-amoxiclav.


Tuesday 7th December 2021: Really bad pains in the side, the pain has been there for a while but it is getting stronger.


Thursday 9th December 2021: The pain is getting SO much worse.


Monday 13th December 2021: I am working from home instead of being in the office because I have been really suffering with the pain as well as suffering with diarrhoea for about a week. I just can't cope so I came home early and slept on the sofa and until I am feeling better I will work from home.


Wednesday 15th December 2021: I had to do a urine and stool sample last week for the doctor and they have come back clear, I am feeling a lot better now.


Tuesday 21st December 2021: My brothers were planning to go watch Spider Man but for them to go to the cinema they needed to do a lateral flow test and Ethan did three and they all came back positive so the whole family went to get PCR tests.

Wednesday 22nd December 2021: It proves my point that some illnesses are in people's head because last night and today I felt like absolute sh*t, my whole body ached, I had a headache, however before doing the PCR test I felt okay. I kept crying because I couldn't cope with how I felt, I fell asleep at 6pm and kept waking up in the night but didn't have any breakfast.


Thursday 23rd December 2021: Woke up feeling a lot better, I just have a sore throat but I think that's because I fell asleep with my mouth open so I have a dry mouth but otherwise I felt perfectly fine and then I got a text from NHS saying my PCR test came back negative.

Aims For Next Year

Next year I aim to lose quite a bit of weight, when I am lighter I feel better in myself, I emotionally feel a lot better. I want to try and get my loop recorder removed and may have to pay for that operation.


My Plan For Next Month

For the month of January I want to lose at least 5lbs and workout every Saturday and Sunday for an hour a day however there is one weekend that I am away and doubt I will workout plus I want to stop buying lunch whilst I am at work and cook instead. I am going to also try and not drink fizzy sodas Monday to Thursday and only treat myself Friday to Sunday.
