Miserable
17 days to go
Been MIA as had nothing positive to say
Cellulitis in my leg
Antibiotics
Cold sores on my top and bottom lip inside and outside my mouth- couldn't eat dinner , as gums and roof of my mouth and throat so sore
Drinking thru a straw
Had a couple of mouthfuls of stew fir dinner, then tried a milkshake.. could only manage half a small one, couldn't swallow any more

So weight will be up and down. With the inflammation
Limited my mobility and ability to sit in the office even further
Voice activated software doesn't work due to my croaky throat
Can't afford to be off sick as on half pay

Plan
NO ACV
Lots of fluids
Take antibiotics as prescribed
Avoid the carbs and sugars ( luckily I couldn't eat cake or biscuit if u paid me fir to my throat) 😉

Have a positive day fs friends 😎

Aww, sorry to hear things aren't so hot right now! Are you taking an L-Lysine supplement for the cold sores? If not, check it out. It will help heal them up fast!

I'm sorry Poppy! 😘Make sure you take probiotics with the antibiotics to replace the good bacterial strains in your digestive tract that the antibiotics kill along with the bad, okay? It will help you spring back lots faster after an antibiotic run nowadays. Culturell makes a fairly good generic one that I take even without antibiotics just because it balances out the gut bacteria. 🤷🏻‍♀️Nature Made has one that is two pills, one for upper intestine and one for lower. Just make sure you supplement, you'll feel better!🙋🏻 I was talking to a doctor in ER the other might and they are theorizing now that the appendix may actually be the storage organ for our gut bacteria that we need to keep our immunities up. He seemed to think we'll never know for sure though. 🤦🏻‍♀️Take care , Hon and good luck! I'm pulling for you! 🙋🏻

Feel better soon - bit of a drastic way to avoid the carbs at work - which you manage anyway

That sounds awful - I know how debilitating cold sores in your mouth can be as I get them quite a lot. Every now and then I'm put on a course of acyclovir tablets to knock the virus back for a few months which means I get fewer and less frequent sores for a while but they then come back again as before after about 18 months. Feel better soon

Poor you, Poppy. That cellulitis of yours is really bad when it flares up, isn't it? Such a shame that you can't get rid of it completely. I don't know how you can work like that. I feel so sorry for you. Hope the antibiotics soon kick in and you start to feel better. Take care x

Take care Poppy, try to eat something, even if it's just broth. Everyone has given great advice. Good luck, hope things turn around soon.
