Day 9 - 12 Feeling Wonderful

Day 9 to Day 12                   7 June - 10 June 2013

Action                                    Was able to do light housework, have massage, walk dogs. 

                                               Went for dinner, saw friends, had accupuncture. Very standard usual activities.                             

Temperature                          Temperature each day was under 37 degrees. 

Drugs                                     Had some slight pressure around rear hairline and neck so light massage

                                               and a few panadol solved the problem. Had light headaches for small periods.

                                               Didnt need any anti-nausea medication but continued anti-biotics as prescribed.

                                                                            

Outcome                               Vile taste in mouth persisted but ginger and hot water (2 litres per day)

                                               minimises this and nausea. Had some diarrohea on Day 9 and then have 

                                               developed a couple of small ulcers in mouth and some tenderness in parts 

                                               of gums. Had a deep tissue massage on Friday which relieved lower back pain and
                                              the feeling of pressure aound my hairline. Also did some neck exercises that
                                              my accupuncturist recommended. Havent moved my bowels for a few days and of an eve                                        evening suffer from vile smelling flatulence.         

Sleep                                     Slept very well each night with only minor disturbances from hot flushes 

                                               and toilet trips
