Just when I think things can’t get worse my body finds a way.

Last week when my left ear plugged up my teeth stopped hurting. It was bliss. I thought it might be related. Sadly, they are not. My teeth started again in earnest yesterday and I have been in a hell of a lot of pain.

It as so bad last night Weasel had to call NHSDirect and they said I needed a stronger painkiller from the doctor [which we got today]. I only fell asleep last night because I put Fergus on my face. He is a stuffed dog I got Weasel a few years ago. I put his back paws under my ears to provide some comforting pressure and his front paws on top to help relieve my headache. Breathing into his tummy meant that my nose and teeth hurt less too.

I’ve also been battling tummy troubles since Saturday. I had to go to the bathroom every hour for a while. We’ve filled me with pro-biotics though and that seems to have helped. But I still can’t bring myself to eat much of anything. The thought of food fills me with distress. The only way I’ve managed to each anything lately is if I ask Weasel to make me “something”. I still only manage a few bites before I have to stop. Then to top it all off today I got to throw up! Thankfully I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast so not too messy.

I’m still waking up fairly constantly all night. I’m so tired right now, I probably ought to just go to bed, but I’m scared of waking up at 4am or something.

I haven’t been able to move too well over the last few days so I’ve been sofa bound. I cannot talk on the phone anymore either so I’m feeling pretty isolated. My ears are so pressurised pushing the phone against them hurts. I have to push though because otherwise I cannot hear what the person is saying. I’m not up to having visitors in person.

The hospital is sending me my appointment time via post, there just happens to be a postal strike on right now though. So I’m sort of annoyed because I’ll have to wait until Thursday and if I haven’t heard anything I’ll have to get Weasel to call.

This is the first time in four days I’ve managed to use the computer. It’s making me feel even more ill so I’m going.
