I became so weak that I actually could feel my system shutting down, knew I was about to collapse on I think Wednesday night, went down to call in to the neighbour's house to ask them to ring an ambulance and take my key so that Karen could be got out of the house in the morning.

I was terrified, both of collapsing and what would happen to Karen if I did, but thankfully it didn't happen. Scary as **** though, and the doctor, when I went to her the next day, was useless, just wanted me to spend more money by sending me for blood tests at the hospital, giving me antidepressants when all it turned out I needed was a food supplement called Ensure. I had no energy - literally: none; I would spend every day lying on my bed doing nothing. Couldn't watch TV, use my PC, read, listen to music, nothing - and dreading the times when I would have to go down to look after Karen. Needless to say, this didn't help her, worrying over me and what would happen if I collapsed.

Then, the clincher: she got sick Thursday night and we had to go into hospital. I was already dead to the world and the thought of spending hours at the A&E sent me into a panic, but what could I do? We got through it - took from about 10pm to 3pm the next day - and I was officially wrecked. I woke that evening in a panic, realising all I had to do still and completely exhausted, but up I had to get and do the usual things, cos who else was going to?

Anyway, long story short (for me anyway), I hit on the idea of the Ensure, got some and within a few hours was feeling stronger, and I'm now back to my annoying self. Stupid ****ing moneygrabbing doctors! If she had just told me that was what I needed and written me a prescription on Thursday I could have been better so much faster. Never doing that again, I can tell you. One way or the other, even if I can't eat, I'll have some of those Ensures on standby. Saved my life, they did.

Thanks to those who missed me. What do you mean, nobody did? I'll be back in the mix now that I'm on my feet again.

Cheers!

I drink protein shakes when I’m too whatever to cook or eat. I don’t know if it’s placebo but I think yogurt settles me down and it’s easy to consume. Good for my gut brain. I swear if you have to detox or whatever eat yogurt. It’s even easy to puke up.
