debris4spikeSadly as I sort of expected my symptoms don't fall into any real catagory .... the consultant has done some more blood tests, which I will get the results of next week, but other than that it will end up with a "post-viral" diagnosis!
So, I still hurt, and feel week (although my muscle strength is fine, as is my blood pressure and heart). At least he didn't tell me that my exhausting tiredness was due to my age!
So, no news at all, other than knowing what I don't have!
Over the weekend M&D and I went to a pub lunch with Tim & Claire. It was nice to have an excuse to only do half a day of gardening ... and even nicer to see Claire looking so well - 7 1/2 months after her mastectomy. Mum & Dad have not been at all well over the last couple of weeks. Sadly Dad's Alzheimer's has taken a big step .... Mum has had a couple of weeks of intense pain, but at least is a bit more mobile now.
So, no news for me, but at least nothing nasty is going on.
Hope all is well with you all

Sorry to hear your mum and dad are getting more poorly. Can you get them a home help these days?

Sorry that your consultant appointment didn't come up with a specific diagnosis - maybe the further tests will help. At least they are ruling things out though, which is good.

The hard thing for Dad is that he knows he is a bit worse, and hates what's happening.
I suppose I keep telling myself that at least it's nothing major .... but doesn't help me when my muscles all decide to cramp!
