Hi all,
report from sick bay. I felt a bit flu like on Sunday aft. so I went to bed........till Monday.....no better so mrs. s calls my work. 'old ratbag here's got man flu so won'be in'. She's such a sympathetic soul.
O.K. so now its Wednesday, feeling more like it so I'll go to work. One hour in, I start regretting my decision. My hands start to feel as if i fell into some stinging nettles & me batteries are on reserve.
Gets to 3.am & I wake up with swmbo having gone to work. I try to get up and all me joints have siezed up, hands are swollen, and EVERYWHERE is very painfull. I cannot walk more than a shuffle & even standing up is a trial in itself. Call mrs. s. who is on duty with a nurse......Heeeeeelllllllp, what the hell is wrong with me!!! (But of course more heroically done than it appears in print. :wink:
Doc came out later & took a look an some blood got results back friday morn, all showing normal. (see, I said it was everyone else & not me but noooobody believes me) EXCEPT it show a lot of rheumatic, (joint) inflammation. Doc came today, a different one & says it is very rare so I may need to go to hospital for tests. So this may be my 15 minutes of fame (knowing my luck). Actually, it is rare to get this sort of thing inline with flu is what she meant....I think..... :shock: So she went back to the surgery to check the books under the heading 'How to treat stuff wot looks funny'. :lol: Wish me luck Guys n Gals

p.s.Doctor just called back to say "The Rheumatologists are interested in you". "Weird" I says, "Pedigree chum were the last lot interested in my body, not even to feed the test dogs, just curious". Well,we shall see.
