It's been a little while since my last post but I've been unwell. One of my previous posts was about having to take more sick days and unfortunately I've continued with the same viral throat infection for over two weeks now. It's very frustrating how much longer illnesses last now.
I did go back to work for 3 days last week but it was tough going, especially given that I had 3 nightmare journeys home, with one particularly bad one taking 2 hours 10 minutes!
Unfortunately being unwell for 2 weeks has meant many sleepless nights, evenings spent in watching the TV rather than seeing friends or going for drinks which has been hard and despite not doing anything, it's been tiring. I've had numerous work colleagues telling me I look pale, unwell, tired and peaky, which is always so nice to hear lol.
Who would think that being tired would make feeling that doing a blog post was too much effort?
Today is the first day I'm feeling more normal, my cough feels less severe and I didn't get woken up with a coughing fit in the middle of the night so I'm feeling much perkier :)
I went to the doctor about my cough and also spoke to her about my post viral fatigue and she's sending me to see a specialist in ME/CFS. Have any of you had any experience with this? I'd appreciate some advance knowledge of what to expect at an appointment and what treatment they might offer. Hopefully this will be a good step forward and will help on the road to recovery. I'm staying positive about it all a I do believe having a positive mental attitude helps you to deal with things thrown your way.
Wish me luck and I'll keep you all updated with how it all progresses.
