New hens not going into Eglu Go Up

[j00lz_12366]

Towards the end of last week I was feeling achey and clammy and thought I was probably starting with a cold etc..

 

By Sunday night when I went to bed I was the same, but I struggled to get to sleep, by about 1.15 am I was red hot and very clammy-apparently I actually felt very cold to the touch. Things then got a bit odd, it all made perfect sense at the time but I got up out of bed, and stood against the wall to help myself cool down and I can remember thinking-"i'll just go to sleep standing here" which I tried to do. My partner asked me what I was doing and I told him I was going to the other room to sleep, by this time all the joints in my arms, hands and fingers were really painful. Soon after I also got pain in my chest-from shoulder to shoulder and right through to my back. Eventually this passed and by about 4 am i am assuming I managed to get to sleep. On monday I rang in work and took the morning off to get some sleep..

By yesterday I was still feeling rough and again slept for the majority of the day. I rang work in the afternoon to say I was planning to be in today, however this mornign when my alarm went off I was really achey and clammy again-so i ended up tearfully ringing in work and telling them I wouldnt be in again. I feel so guilty..ive slep again this morning and am sat here wrapped in a duvet to keep warm..

 

Just feel so miserable..and gullty

Sending ((hugs)). Get to the GP it sounds like you need them.

[Egluntyne]

I agree. It sounds as if you have got the flu. No need to feel guilty!

[j00lz_12366]

thanks for the reply, sat here sobbing now..am so worried about being off-its the week before halfterm and it wont look good..

i'm not actually registered at a gp-since i moved I have let things slip and am now scared of going as I have let things slip and have not beein taking some meds i should have..stupid I know, tip of the iceberg behaviour i think..i have checked with the surgery my partner is at and they have vacancies but i need to have appointement with the nurse before i see a doc so its not simple...i am also dreading explaining my history to a new gp..

how stupid am i

[Groovychook]

Poor you- sounds like you feel really grotty and need to see a doctor.

Just get the nurses appointment and let everything else follow on from there- try not to worry about it!!

[Cheeky Chooky]

Awww *hug* definitely sounds like you need to register and go see a GP. It doesn't matter what you have or haven't done as the important thing is to get yourself on the right track and back to good health now

[bluekarin]

It sounds like Proper flu to me, but do as others have said and see a Dr asap. Keep warm, drink plenty of fluids and I hope you feel better soon ((hugs))

[Mum]

Definately 'flu ((hugs))

 

Not sure how much a GP can do for it though and now you're a few days on, you are hopefully through the worst While you wait for an appointment, give NHS a call and see what they recommend.

 

Sending speedy get well wishes your way.

[chickencam]

If I were you i would stay in the warm, drink plenty of fluids and get yourself well, it sounds like flu or at least a flu like virus, there are loads about at the moment. the Doctor won't be able to do much for you at the moment, so if you are not alone all day, I would stay at home, then when you feel better make an appointment get yourself registered and back on track with your meds. Your health is very important.

 

I hope that you feel better soon.

[j00lz_12366]

thanks all, really appreciated, x

[Seagazer]

You should register with a doctor, but don't be so hard on yourself. My DD has only just registered back with our doctors after being away at uni (which she left about 18 months ago)

 

I hope you feel better soon.

[mollyripkim]

Hope you are feeling better soon, sounds like flu, but please take care of yourself as others have said as its a nasty virus.

[kazmac]

Hope you feel better soon. But it may be worth getting checked out if it's not resolving, to make sure it is flu.

And you really should get yourself registered with a GP. You can be seen as a temporary resident though in the meantime if you're not registered with a practice.

[Snowy]

I agree - get yourself registered! In the meantime, if you are ill, they will see you without you having to see the nurse first. They won't tell you off, don't worry! Hope you feel better soon xx

[Looney]

Get well soon!

 

Yes, get yourself registered! I didn't register with a doctor where we lived before current home, only a year and a half there......! They should see you regardless, just means doing a bit of paperwork.

 

Loads of big hugs xxxx

[j00lz_12366]

thanks

[lindafw]

I have bee guilty of not taking meds when I should...don't kick yourself...just get back on them asap.

 

I work in a school and I promise that if you are someone who isn't blagging time off regularly everyone will be worried and hoping you get better soon and I might add VERY grateful that you are not giving them your germs in time for half term.

 

Cut yourself some slack, tuck up warm and be kind to yourself until you feel better

[Mum]

thanks

Are you feeling any better today?

[j00lz_12366]

i went back in on Thursday, still feeling v tired and generally worn out...managed my way thru today-thought it'd be a nice easy one, wasn't too bad but then had to go and see Head...not good-i was getting feedback from some obs her and deputy head did 3-4 weeks ago-I had already got my informal feedback at the end of it all from Deputy and was all good-she came up with a few suggestions which I have taken on board but there was nothing at all negative in the feedback...today with the head was just a joke..

among other things she wanted to know who cleans the kitchen that is attached to my class(!) and other bizarre things, when I brought up issues with one of the children she came up with some ridiculous suggestions that even the deputy told her werent going to happen..

 

aah well, I am trying not to let it get to me because i have a feeling (backed up by o/h and my lovely TA) that the Head is just enjoying her last few weeks before retirement...

 

determined to relax over this next week!

[Cheeky Chooky]

determined to relax over this next week!

That sounds like a good plan Enjoy

[AJuff]

Well done to you for returning to work on Thursday. You are clearly committed to your job. Do be very careful as teaching is a 110% job and not for the faint hearted. Guilt for taking time off, cost of supply, letting children parents down, missing planning, observation appointments and wrath of a head can force staff back before they are truly fit. I suspect that's why returned. Pity about you day! So look after yourself and thoroughly enjoy your half term and return to good health:)
