Generally, I don't have a reaction to the winter #vaccinations. But this morning I woke up really early, and I think it's because I turned in my sleep & my arm was really sore. Actually, both arms are. 3 jags: 2 in the right arm; 1 in the left. Had to happen sometime I guess. #Slàinte

Yesterday was a bit of a mare. Having a #chronic condition (or three) means a lot of medical appointments. Co-ordination is key, but it doesn't always work out. #IBD #Crohn's #Vaccinations #Medical #Slàinte #Health

Frustrating Appointments Day
Well, today was a mess. Booked a taxi to arrive 20 minutes before the first appointment of my day. I was sitting outside for a while, and the taxi was a no-show. I'm thinking there must be traffic holding them up. Called. Yep, stuck in Inverness. Dispatched another driver from town; meanwhile, I'm calling the GP to say I'm going to be late. GP receptionist says if I can get there 10 minutes after my allotted time, they can swap me with the next person who has already checked in.

Hi Folks, I've got the 2027 Larry Calendar ready now. I've had to increase the price to £17 this year as the supplier hiked the price up by £10 leaving me with no margin. bulk buying negates some of the rise but sadly not enough. The order form is here forms.gle/HUNcZdwGJsVV...

Managed to keep water down this morning, so ventured to have some toast. Seemed to be OK. Ate lightly in fear of the return of #nausea, but it seems OK. Wish I could say the same for the rest. #IBD #CrohnsDisease #DalzielsDisease #Slàinte #Health

Had to lie down with the fan on. Too ill to actually sleep, but unable to do anything else. Stayed on my left side. Nausea kept even bottled water away. #IBD is just as it was when symptoms first appeared over 20 years ago. 30 mins after eating ... boom! #Crohns #DalzielsDisease #Slàinte #Health

Second time I've eaten in town in the last month. Different cafes, but both times I've ended up feeling incredibly ill. Having an appt with my GP following lunch was difficult, as I was nauseated, in pain, and desperate for the toilet. I had to wait 1.5 h for a taxi as it was school run time.

Musings on Self-Injection v. Infusions
I was sitting here doing some research related to one of my (many) health conditions, and started to muse about how different my treatment for Crohn's is now. Injecting my biologic medication at home is so easy and stress-free in comparison to the infusions I used to have. As much as I liked the beneficial effects that infusions had on my Crohn's, injecting at home just feels superior, even if I haven't enjoyed as many benefits from the treatment - yet. I mean, I don't expect much, especially si...

Shattered! Made my way into town for my fortnightly blood test, followed by a walk and a quick shop in #HomeBargains, but no taxis were available to bring me home. Carrying heavy bags to the bus stop and then home did me in. Going for a nap now.

* Keep pushing through their pain
* Don't look like they are in pain
* Always say, "I'm Fine!"
* Haven't been doing well lately
