Yep, feelin' better

Thank you to you all for the get well wishes over the past few weeks. I recovered from the haemorrhage itself well, but continued to get sicker and sicker. It dawned on me last Wednesday that it was likely to be the tablets I was on, so with the doctor's approval I stopped taking them on the Thursday.

I had taken my morning dose on Thursday, and it turned out to be my sickest day...I thought I was dying. I've never been so sick in my life. I had a massive headache; cold shivers; hot sweats; nausea; dizziness, and could barely stand. So, into bed I went early afternoon and didn't surface again until the following morning.

Every day since I have been feeling better and better and apart from tiring easily, am now back to normal. I still haven't driven the car but it's been too hot to go anywhere anyway. I think I'll go back to work on Wednesday next week...assuming my shifts are the same still.

I've never had problems with medication before, and I don't know whether it was the antibiotics or the iron tablets making me sick, but I'll be avoiding both in future. I hope that this finds you all well.

Iron tablet made me sick when I took them. But I was pregnant, so I dunno if that was why, or just the Iron tabs in general...

I am glad to hear you are feeling better though. I have been thinking about your sweet self a lot :)
