Hi everyone,
Sorry that i havent been well lately, i have had flu and was in bed for a week, i couldnt eat properly and i had constant high fever throughtout, my husband was ready to call the docs when i broke through it. Im better now but im still having pains in my jaw and head which im going to see the doc about, im still struling to eat because of it, there is one thing that is seriously worrying me though, i have lost so much weight, i was 9 stone but i have dropped down to 8 stone 2, im really worried, im wondering if i ought to ask the doc for some build up drink to try and get me back there? It took me ages to get to my target weight and now its gone again, feeling extremely depressed :-(

P.S I will reply to the other thread about the night sweats tomorow, promise.

Hi Kittykat.
How awful for you. It's not surprising you're feeling so low. I think you should definitely go and see the doctor. Seems like you need prompt help to build yourself up again. I hope you feel much better very soon.

Hi Kittykat
After an op a few years ago i lost a stone in a week with not eating much but gradually put it back on so I would not be to worried because it sounds like your over the worst of it, but mention it to your doc if your worried.
I hope you feel better soon ,

Hi Glowing,
Its a good job that I did go and see the doctors, I not only have pneumonia but I also have sinusitis
Im on antibiotics for 2 weeks and hopefully that should get rid of everything. I need to be more careful.

Thankyou for the advice

Hi Malcolm,
The doctors said that I shouldnt worry to much but if it goes lower, then he will put me back on the build up stuff.

Thankyou.

Hi Kittykat,, I'm so glad that you've got a diagnosis and treatment. One of the things that people don't realise is that we can be SERIOUSLY ill without having the same symptoms as "normal" people have. i.e. our temperature doesn't go as highas quickly as other peoples do. We still walk and talk even when we're really ill, because we don't have the immune responses that are part of what make people feel so ill when they have an infection. I do hope you'll start to feel much better soon.
