I’ve now had 4 tests, 3 results, 4th is due any day. All negative.
Nice to have the peace of mind.
Another 11 roughly monthly tests to go.
It’s fine Lee.
Just quite.
W.O.F, top tip. Thanks
I’ll give that a go when my new differential covers arrive which should be next week sometime.
Thanks both.
I’ll give that a go while I wait for some tiny magnetic tools. Slow boat from China so I’ll have plenty of time.
Dave, glad you’re getting somewhere.
When I started on the arthritis medication (and again when switched to injections) it was done by a specialist nurse team. They also did my bloods for monthly for 6 months IIRC before handing it over to the GP surgery when all was stable. I’m on 3 monthly bloods at the moment but sometimes have to go to monthly when there is a glitch. Methotrexate can totally nadger your liver function.
Bob, good to see you back again and with few side effects from the jab. The GP checked my jab site today and it’s still a bit red and sore but much better. Still absolutely exhausted though.
I’m still feeling rough after the jab. Even more fatigue than usual and my muscles are killing me.
The jab site is red and swollen.
I’m seeing the GP om Monday (stomach issues are back with a vengeance and all tests to date are spot on, including internal investigation, bloods and poo samples) so if it’s not better by then I may well ask her to look at it.
The problem is it could also be a flare up of my fibromyalgia at exactly the same time.
Dave, I’m on Methotrexate, once a week DIY injection after the tablets damaged my stomach.
The injections are single use and dead easy to do. Most of the time I don’t feel it and there’s hardly ever any blood. Stericycle are responsible for collecting and replacing the sharps bin and they have been 100% so far. Usually get a reply to emails within a working day and another when the day is arranged. I leave the sharps bin on my porch tucked in the corner with just the handle showing and they put the new one in the same place.
Ed, I agree, it’s the setup.
The location used to be council run community centre/ small local leisure centre and the jabs were in the huge indoor gym/sports hall. A long way for broken people to go across. I explained to the person that showed me to a chair that it would ruin me to go all the way so they got me an ancient wheel chair with shopping trolley type wheels to move across the hall as I was moved up the waiting ranks. No chairs for outside use though. Again I understand, just not ideal.
The staff I spoke to were great, especially when I explained the problems I have with unfamiliar places (autism related).
Everything was quickly wiped down after someone touched anything, staff using sanitiser often and all wearing masks and keeping distance apart from when vital to get up close. I did have a minor problem when trying to get in, the young lad (early 20’s at a guess) on the door insisted I take my nitrile gloves off and sanitise my hands. I explained why I was wearing gloves but he still insisted. Luckily there was an army medic within earshot and when I explained to him why I was wearing the gloves he informed the lad that some people (like me) get bad reactions to certain stuff and to check with him in future before being an arse. The medic even offered me some spare gloves in case I needed them.
Had my first jsb this afternoon. Had the Pfizer one and after I got home started feeling a bit odd.
Thick head, really, really tired and my arm is super sore, way more so than usual.
The nurse warned me that I was likely to have side effects due to my arthritis medication and she was right.
Also didn’t help that I had go a long way (for me) on my crutches after the jab due to the one way system in place, I understand it has to be done but it sucks if you have mobility issues.
Great news John. 👍
Thanks Ed.
I know a few people that have shops, non essential ones. They were finding it really difficult but after joining forces on local delivery’s they are now doing quite well, not pre-covid levels but much better than they were. Well enough to make a profit.
Got through. Wooo.
Week tomorrow for the first jab. 3 months later for the second.
Had my second covid test today and just had a voicemail message telling me I’m eligible for the vaccination now. 🙂
The number is always engaged though. 🙁
You’ll never be forgotten here Bob, your tales will last as long as we do.
I’m gutted for you and yours and can only hope it’s as painless as possible.
I consider us all lucky to have known you and I hope to still know you for a while yet.
Stay strong mate.
I like it.
Easy on the eyes and nice and clear.
Nice one Lee.
Dave, me arthritis meds works by suppressing my immune system. That’s why I’m in phase 4 in Wales.
I don’t know if I can have the injection yet because of the lowered immune system. Apparently I have to wait until I have a date before I can find out. :wacko:
I had the results of my test that was done last week, negative thankfully.
Ment to have another tomorrow but no contact yet.
Tesco Mobile run on O2 so that won’t make any difference. Mobile Virtual Operator List (MVNE)
Flashing a European ROM could be an option but would need a lot of research, Get the actual model number from the phones settings and see what bands it supports. Once you have the bands it supports check which UK networks support them . You can then use the NVME List linked to above to find a good deal.
