Hi my fav folk!

You ok today Bridge?

I dream of a world where apple tree blossoms, and fairy swings are a part of every day life and no-one questions why this is so.

Throb you lots Tawny.

Glassy - that suit is just purrrrfect. Although, I can't possibly do the tail.

Howdy do Happs.

Cinders!!!! XXXX

Salute to Mr G.

Good luck today Techie.

I think I need a new handbag.

Missy - how's the house hunting going?

An update of Muscle Meal situ - had chicken last night and it was quite delish. Note to self - avoid all products labelled meat as said product is def NOT beef.

Ain't (I know this isn't a real word) this weather good for the soul?! Noice......

Have a beautiful day - spread warm and fuzzies everywhere you be!!

Your BFF, Nicey.

Thank you, Happs. My husband has learned to love curry sauces. I will try this on him.

Arvo Undies and Esteemed Visitors,

Glassy - I keep thinking about your proposed trip and without a shadow of doubt, I know I would not be able to stay sane whilst being trapped in a very small space with eight other people for a month. I can't decide whether you're the ultimate adventurer, a saint or plain fusking mad. (I guess being claustrophobic might have something to do with my horror) BUT - the scenery would be a-mazing. Hope you can pull it off.

It seems a lot of us are a bit under the weather in one way or another. I've been feeling "off" for a while now but just put it down to the SADs. I've been feeling uber-lethargic, tired, with complete loss of appetite. Yesterday was weird. I did a really tiny half-hour weeding session, some boring light housework and just had to have a little lie-down at 12.30. Slept until I heard Nige come back at 4.30, talked to him for a while, went back to bed at 5.00 and slept through until nearly 5 this morning. WTF is that all about? Sleeping for 16+ hrs? Talked to old Mrs. Google's Symptom Checker and I have options:

Brucellosis (WTF is that)
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Chronic FAtigue Syndrome
Addison's Disease (WTF is that)
Depression
Hyperparathyroidism (WTF is that)
Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Pancreatic Cancer
or
Post Natal Depression (LOL)

It's so nice to have choices, don't ya think? Bought some Iron and B12 and have convinced myself that all will return to normal once I get some consistent rays onto the old bod.

Much throbbage to you all.

Tawny - I was uber-tired whilst pregers.....praps???

All jokes aside, hope the B12 fixes things. If not, you must get another opinion. Mrs Google is fab, but....

Hope you feel uber-good real soon!

Tawny - further unnecessary info below.....

I reckon you're on track re the rays on the bod scenario!

Brucellosis, also called Bang's disease, Crimean fever, Gibraltar fever, Malta fever, Maltese fever, Mediterranean fever, rock fever, or undulant fever,[1][2] is a highly contagious zoonosis caused by ingestion of unsterilized milk or meat from infected animals or close contact with their secretions. Transmission from human to human, through sexual contact or from mother to child, is rare but possible.[3]

Brucella are small, Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod shaped (coccobacilli) bacteria. They function as facultative intracellular parasites causing chronic disease, which usually persists for life. Symptoms include profuse sweating and joint and muscle pain. Brucellosis has been recognized in animals including humans since the 20th century.

Addison’s disease (also chronic adrenal insufficiency, hypocortisolism, and hypoadrenalism) is a rare, chronic endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient steroid hormones (glucocorticoids and often mineralocorticoids). It is characterized by a number of relatively nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain and weakness, but under certain circumstances, these may progress to Addisonian crisis, a severe illness which may include very low blood pressure and coma.

The condition arises from problems with the adrenal gland, "primary adrenal insufficiency", and can be caused by damage by the body's own immune system, certain infections, or various rarer causes. Addison's disease is also known as chronic primary adrenocortical insufficiency, to distinguish it from acute primary adrenocortical insufficiency, most often caused by Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome. Addison's disease should also be distinguished from secondary and tertiary adrenal insufficiency, which are caused by deficiency of ACTH (produced by the pituitary gland) and CRH (produced by the hypothalamus), respectively. Despite this distinction, Addisonian crises can happen in all forms of adrenal insufficiency.
Addison's disease and other forms of hypoadrenalism are generally diagnosed via blood tests and medical imaging.[1] Treatment involves replacing the absent hormones (oral hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone).[2] Lifelong, continuous steroid replacement therapy is required, with regular follow-up treatment and monitoring for other health problems.[1]

Addison’s disease is named after Dr. Thomas Addison, the British physician who first described the condition in 1849. The adjective "Addisonian" is used to describe features of the condition, as well as patients suffering from Addison’s disease.[1]

Hyperparathyroidism is overactivity of the parathyroid glands resulting in excess production of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The parathyroid hormone regulates calcium and phosphate levels and helps to maintain these levels. Excessive PTH secretion may be due to problems in the glands themselves, in which case it is referred to as primary hyperparathyroidism and which leads to hypercalcaemia (raised calcium levels). It may also occur in response to low calcium levels, as encountered in various situations such as vitamin D deficiency or chronic kidney disease; this is referred to as secondary hyperparathyroidism. In all cases, the raised PTH levels are harmful to bone, and treatment is often needed.[1]

TF,

I have been having the same issue. Unable to get as much done as I would like during the day, taking naps, etc. Often dizzy.

Sleeping a lot for me.

I am having an MRI and EEG done but I figure it really is just old age and I might as well get used to it. sigh.

Good evening Undies.
Please forgive me, it has been a week since I was last on here.

Super rush again, sorry.
No time to read back.
Lots happening including hitting a kanga last night which sort of buggered up the Getz and having my computer chuck a conniption which needed the repair man again plus a reduction burn tomorrow and Sat..
It is Mr Rags wedding anniversary today, and mine too ,

(At least I remembered it this year.)
I will be off air till Friday evening when I hope to catch up on at least the last couple of days.
The last thing I remember reading about was anal bleaching. Crap.

May you be well,
may you be happy .

Love to you all
Raggsy.
