March in to a new month

-


March it is then, a new month and St. David’s Day!, just had to escape the flat today so ended up in Gloucester with Neil. Not too bad a day out all be it a bit cold and damp.

 

Thursday 2nd March: Well after yesterday, I am in agony today. My back and my left hip are in great pain, lower back is the worst! 

 

I hope it eases soon. The sun is out and shining in the window so will sit with my back to the window so the sun can work its magic, would rather the heat of the sun than force myself to take co-codamol.


Saturday 4th March: So, it is Saturday, and I feel bored, trapped and stuck in a rut. 
Look what happened when I tried to break out on Wednesday.... I caught a chill, and to make things worse, the friend I took with me also caught a chill.... I feel guilty 
I'm too scared to try getting out of the rut I am stuck in again in case I catch something else!, you know, I think I may be becoming paranoid….

Wednesday 8th March: It's a snow day, and I'm sure I've got a cold coming on... Pain is at about a 5 out of 10 today.

Thursday 9th March: Feeling like crap, every move is agony, throat feels like I've swallowed a ton of gravel it hurts to drink my orange juice. This yucky cold has teamed up with the fibromyalgia - pain at a 9 out of 10.

Tuesday 14th March: Stomach feels dodgy this morning, trying to take my morning meds and when I tried to swallow them felt like I was going to be sick and bring them back up, not a nice feeling. Pain at about 6 out of 10 so far today.


Middle to End of March: So as March continued to its end, not much changed. Aches and pains continued, feeling very tired and wanting to sleep as much as possible. Went to see my doctor because of hearing my heart beat in my ear. Turns out my blood pressure and heart rate is high.  I need to monitor it over the next week or so.

Recipe: Cornflakes coated chicken

-

Cornflakes coated chicken Inspired by Nigella  In a bowl mix together the following Mustard (of your choice - dijon, whole grain or French) Two cloves of garlic (grated) Egg (to combine) mix well until all ingredients are combined. To this add 2 chicken breast fillets flattened into escallops, let them bathe for a while, while you prepare the coating. In another dish pour some cornflakes , massage them into crumbs, add some paprika or cayenne pepper ( depending on your taste ), mix together. Take the chicken out of your mustard mixture and coat in the cornflakes, make sure you coat well. Fry in a pan until the chicken is cooked. Serve with a nice salad. I used honey nut cornflakes, which wasn't right for the dish due to the sweetness, but the nuttieness worked, I also added chives to the cornflakes. See a video online at https://youtu.be/44FvvRk-FIE

Cons proposals for PIP

Cons proposals for PIP Sunak and his government need flogging - end of! Here are his government's proposals relating to PIP. Awards for claimants with physical health conditions and those with mental health issues were called into question by Sunak. He argued that whilst some people need money for aids such as handrails or stairlifts “Often they’re already available at low cost, or free from the NHS or Local Authorities. And they’re one-off costs so it probably isn’t right that we’re paying an ongoing amount every year.” MY VIEW ON THIS: I need PIP for my motability car, also to get CBD and other natural remedies as I'm not a fan of co-codamol and other pain killers and things to make life easier that I can't get elsewhere, I buy my own walking sticks that go with what I wear, so they blend in and don't stand out, it helps my minds train of thought. In addition, claimants with mental health conditions are to be targeted because “for all the challenges they face it is n...
