illness update

such a boring post and I don’t like writing about my health, but a few of you posted such lovely comments on my previous post, so just in case you’re interested, here’s a quick update. I went back to my GP yesterday who was lovely and sympathetic. She went back over my results, and apparently compared to my usual bloods my white cells are very down, in particular the bit of them that fights infection. So according to her I seem to be suffering from a Chronic Viral Infection. This can last months and would seem to fit as I had a severe sinusitis infection last year and have felt tired ever since. She told me that it would clear up in time but that I needed to take it easy, rest more and give myself some TLC. I wonder if my husband will accept that as a reason to spend a week in a spa… 😉

So now it feels a bit like I have permission to do not very much at all (rather than feeling pathetic or guilty as I was). So there we go, put my feet up – how often do you get told to do that! Not sure how long it will be before I get bored though ;), so prayer for a quicker recovery would be ace!
