Hi Dave, hope you get better. Getting sick and living alone aren't the best of friends. Keep us in touch.
Cheers,

Just a minor update............had my bloods taken, so waiting on the results, and any consequent actions. Still not had any benchtime, I've tried a few times, but can't raise any interest. Hot weather hasn't agreed with me for many years, so I'm not enjoying the summer at all! Still having bouts of falling asleep during the day & not sleeping at night!

I hope it`s all good for you soon Dave:thumb2:
I`ve NEVER enjoyed the heat:tired:.... am also a Diabetic .... but only diagnosed about 3 years ago now,not sure i agreed at the time:angry:....
...Then i passed out for no reason......,Cracked my skull,fractured my eye socket and cheek bone in 7 places...
... I could put the pics up... but they`d be X rated!!:fearful:
... Turned out that i have "Sleep Apnea".... Now THAT is a proper diagnosis ... got the kit from the NHS,have to sleep with the mask every night...
.....but guess what? ..... I actually SLEEP PROPERLY now....
It`s just my opinion obviously,,,, but worth a thought!!Comment

Hello to a fellow apnoeac……..been wearing the kit for five or six years. It is amazing how much better you feel when you first get that mask. Never had an accident like that, but did have to have a cut and shut done on both my eyelids because they drooped so much I was seeing the world through an eyelash curtain. It was that surgeon that identified than I probably had apnoea.
Do you get the drowning dreams? I sometimes wake up after thrashing about trying to get to the surface on a bad night to find I’ve rubbed all the skin off my elbows and left blood all over the bedclothes….her indoors goes mental LOL.Comment

Hi Tim,
Not done the drowning dreams.. just falling into water,but wake up before I hit the surface...
... I also have a habit of dreaming very vividly,....and if I feel it's getting a bit "unpleasant",even though it's within that dream I can recognise that fact and think,"This is nasty,but it's just a dream, not really happening... I'll wake up now"...
...and I do!!.. not sure how or why, but I can assure you that I do!!Comment

I almost never remember dreams, just the “drowning” ones for some reason. Had some interesting events prior to being diagnosed though. Falling asleep during a conversation was raised to almost an art form. One warm stuffy summers day I actually fell asleep during a job interview. I wouldn’t have minded if I was the interviewee, but I was the lead interviewer….…..mind you, the guy was really, really, dull :tongue-out3:Comment

Yowtch - doesn't seem like apnea ( thank heavens ) I don't remember dreams ( unless I have a fever! ), but that's second guessing - I'll wait until my results come through!
Being a diabetic of long standing - I worked out a year or so ago, I had given myself over 14,000 injections, and even now, after such a long time, I still manage to have hypos. Not very often, and always because I've done something stupid ( 'not that hungry' - ' I'll skip lunch ' ).............

Wow Dave, it appears 2022 it not your year Sir...If it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all. I only hope you can get to the root of the prob and be on the way back to your old self quickly. Please take care and hope you can get back to the bench soon.........
Prost und Gute Besserung

A sort of update - I've been called back to the docs for some more blood tests, apparently the first set were inconclusive, can't say I feel any better, still haven't had any benchtime. Luckily I can lie in bed & use my laptop to access the forum, and more dangerously ebay!

Sorry to hear your health issues are still ongoing. Must be very frustrating to have to go through the tests again.
Wishing you all the best.

Sorry to hear this Dave, although,(and I'm sure you know this already),in my ongoing experiences with blood tests,the "inconclusive" results usually just mean that something happened along the way leading,in one way or another,to us not getting any results at all !...
... then, after the re booked tests are analysed, surprise, surprise... "Everything's fine Sir" !!
Keep your chin up mate... And you finger OFF of the "add to basket" option !!
