Can’t Twitter from work

Sorry to anyone who is following the blog via Twitter. The Twitter site is blocked from work. I will try and get it unblocked for me at some point.

Starting to suffer a little now

I’m feeling it today now. I’m sitting here at work aching again. My hip/leg is starting to hurt again. I don’t really want to start walking around as it seems to aggravate it. I only have a couple of hours to go so might as well stick it out for now. At least when I am home, if it doesn’t get any better I can tell the pain killers that will knock me out tonight, rather than during the day.

Getting ready for work

Right i’m going to get my shower and get ready for work. Not sure if I will last all day, but will try.

I need to take my tablets after and inject myself with the usual Tinzaparin. I’m also taking my new tablets again today Septrin (Co-Trimoxazole) hopefully they wont make me feel sick, but I will let you know later.

Cant sleep

I’ve been awake since 3:33am this morning. I think the Dexamethasone won the battle tonight over the Thalidomide

Feedburner Problems again

A bit technical, but I have had feedburner problems with my blog again. It stopped the blog working again, so I have given up on using it and moved over to another RSS feed. This one should be a more reliable than the Google Feedburner. It also enables me to do email newsletters etc that I will be setting up at some point once I have got my heard around it.

Tired after shopping

I’ve been out doing a bit of shopping today. Probably over done it a bit. I met up with Nigel (my brother) and Anne for a coffee, they have been over here from Barnsley for a couple of days. Me and Charito went around TK Max. Standing around for a long time in the shop and not sitting down didn’t really do me any good. I started to get the shakes again. Since increasing the Thalidomide to 150mg a night I seem to get the shakes in the morning. I feel rather tired now and just resting for a while. I have to be careful about how much I do as I am still Anaemic and run the risk of falling below the level where they want to give me a blood transfusion if I get too much out of breath and have no energy to do anything, which I am trying to avoid as much as possible.
