Philip (Phil) England

1st : Another new month. I nodded off about 5pm yesterday, woke at 11:30pm, nodded back off at just after midnight, just woke again. Bit achy this morning, but need to get sorted as have to do tip run with friend at about 10:30am for 11am booking, need to get there for 10am I guess. When you hit a pot hole and do yourself a mischief - back, neck and shoulder pain made worse, you think exercise will help it but no, so a rest will have to be tried instead. Not feeling the best this evening so off for an early night. In sheer agony and feeling sick with it. Nighty night everyone 😔 2nd : Not feeling too good, upset stomach and very achy, that better improve. Things to do later, so must push through. Only I can sneeze and put my back out 😩 had things to do outside this afternoon too. Well I managed to move my tubs outside ahead of the wind that is due from tomorrow until early hours of Tuesday, though my back is now even more achy. 3rd : Not too good but better than yesterday,...

FIBRO & BLOOD PRESSURE  Every now and again my doctor asks me to keep a check on my blood pressure. I've woken up a number of nights in pain due to fibromyalgia ramping things up. One night I decided, as my BP testing machine was by the side of my bed, decided to see what it was doing. To be clear I didn't get out of bed, I gently sat up and reached for the BP machine and tested it. 22 APRIL 136 / 85 Does fibro raise the blood pressure, I will test again when it wakes me next. 23 APRIL 135 / 84 In agony again this morning after not looking stening to my body and pushing myself too far... again   24 APRIL 137 / 86 At rest following a day of being hectic, in agony and can't seem to push on with things 2 MAY 128 / 83 Decided to test again since struggling to get out of bed today 26 MAY 133 / 81

Looking back at the past week in my life and health. Sunday 15th Feb: Woke up sick again, feel cold and shivery now, not good. Back under the duvet I go. Didn't get out of bed until around 11am, and was a slow day, almost never got recycling out, but did it, my back didn't thank me. Monday 16th Feb: a bit achy but nothing too bad, was sick in early hours again, getting to be a regular thing. Left eye is wheapy. Wednesday 18th Feb: A slow start, a while to get out of bed. Felt cold all day, just couldn't get warm at all. Friday 20th Feb: Had Amazon delivery, on the delivery instructions I put leave by back door, where was it left? By my flat door. A knock & run delivery. Too heavy for me to move by myself. Saturday 21st Feb: Lower back and hips in agony, got bag of top soil to put outside (Hannah helped me with that), got to bring some compost in so I can start marigold plabts off inside ahead of spring. Also need few things I forgot yesterday High Juice Orange Squash...
