I give up

[Quirky]

Hi Karen,

I hope you're ok today and are having a good day. I hope you got some sleep in the end too. Well done on the strawberry picking - yummy. The ones in my garden have finished now, still have some raspberries though.

I hope your email is working again now too.

Sorry I'm not here as often as I was but still think of you.

Piglet - well done on the wlaking and the corners, great progress mate. Oh and your hair looks lovely too .

Hugs sis and Piglet,

Thanks Piglet, Jean, Lisa and Nigel.

Yahoo is working now and I've received that email.

I haven't had a very good day and I am feeling ill tonight. I'm shaking, feel faint when I stand up and need to keep going to the bathroom to pass water every couple of minutes. I've also got pins and needles in my left leg and foot. I really don't feel too well [xx(].

Oh Karen, sorry you are feeling so ill Am no expert, put a fan near you drink lots of iced water, i won't mention eating cos i so don't have any advice? it is so hot, you are tired, worn out, the list goes on. A cool bath or shower maybe? If not, just try to rest, useless advice as usual but i do understand how you feel to a certain extent. love to you speak tomorrow when you will feel a little better i'm sure xxxxxxjean

Hi Jean

Thanks for your reply. I wish you would stop putting yourself down - there is no need and your advice isn't useless.

I'm wondering whether part of these symptoms are dehydration, even though I am drinking lots of water because it's like whatever I drink just goes straight through me. My body doesn't appear to be retaining any of the fluid I am taking in - although I guess it must be or I would be really sick [xx(].

Today hasn't been that hot here and I don't feel hot. The only time I feel a bit clammy is when I stand up and get dizzy.

I don't know. I suppose whatever it is will pass in time. [Sigh...]
