Feeling shitty
« on: September 21, 2017, 08:05:51 am »
Hey all,

Have been feeling shitty for the last 3 weeks,bearable but odd nonetheless - kind of like the preamble to a flu but up and functioning.Started with a sore throat and headiness,so just a bug i guessed.Throat now gone but still feel like crap.Just wondering whether it`s sometimes the case that those with compromised immune systems take longer to shake off these things ? Any experiences ?
I went for bloods on monday and asked about the flu shot but they aren`t ready yet.If it was flu,i`d be wrecked so it`s not that.

Many thanks ,P.

Hey P,

Sorry to hear you're not well. But look at it this way, your immune system is fighting off what ever it is and that's good !
We will all get a bug now and then and feel like shit just like the negative folk ;)
and If you think it's something more call your doc.

Hope you feel better,

Wade

Thanks Wade,

i`m a big boy and should know better but i tend to reflex odd things to my big,fat underlying condition ::)
 I woke up a week ago,planted my feet on the ground and was all over the place trying to get my balance.This went on a bit over the day so i took my BP(have a monitor) and it was 90/50 which is hypotension.After a couple of days i was fine.Anyhoo,its these quirks that put one in question mode.

Hope all well with you ? And thanks as always,P.
