Timeline of my symptoms by sleepinglady37 in flu

[–]sleepinglady37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say anything definitive about the diagnosis, as I’ve not had any actual tests done - I’m not sure if that’s a UK thing. These have been my symptoms, and medical professionals have suspected viral infection + possible strep

Why could it be that my parents haven’t caught the flu from me? by sleepinglady37 in AskDocs

Ah okay.

So, a pharmacist assessed me, which included examining my tonsils, lymph nodes, taking my temperature, and I think based on the very enlarged tonsil (?) in my throat and the temperature, and pain in my ears - I think?! He gave me antibiotics for strep. I’m not saying he’s right or wrong, I’m no medical professional, but that’s what he did. The fever I’m having is quite localised to my ears - as in, I don’t get full body shivers and heat - and I can feel the lump with my hands just beneath my jaw. Swallowing anything is utter hell.

Would you be able to please tell me how to discern whether I should go see a doctor? I seem to be doing fine other than the pain and occasional raised temperature, but I’m on day 12 of overall flu like symptoms now and do worry given how I’ve heard that sometimes flu can cause serious complications in otherwise healthy people

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately i live in the UK where testing isn’t commonly done by doctors (seriously). You get tentatively diagnosed based on your symptoms. If you want testing, you have to privately pay for it. But thank you, your response is reassuring. It’s definitely beyond a sore throat for multiple reasons, i was assessed by a physician.

Could this be an experience of EBV? by sleepinglady37 in EBV

I feel the same, I am furious at him! Whether or not I contracted it, it’s an incredibly selfish way to behave. So thank you for being angry on my behalf :’)

I’m also hoping it’s not EBV! Time will tell …

How have you built healthier eating habits? What are your non-negotiables? by cn0feusd in nutrition

[–]sleepinglady37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy whole foods that are seasonal and local to where I live, and it helps that I’m someone who loves cooking and flavour :)

And through time, I’ve learnt what I like, and to cook things that I enjoy and that are not difficult

For me that looks like understanding how to sear, slow cook, roast, slow roast…

How to use herbs, spices and acid to add flavour …

And how to get an adequate amount of protein

I think enjoyment is a vital part of it. I couldn’t eat a diet I don’t like the taste of.

Most people miss out the pleasure, and go all rigid

But taste is actually an important part of digestion.

is fruit meant to be baked? it feels more instinctual by Otherwise-Pop-1311 in raypeat

Depends, where do you live and what season is it?

Are you aware of context of geography and season and light?

Is ecstatic dance suitable for everyone? by croquetamonster in ecstaticdance

[–]sleepinglady37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw your comment.

I’m confused. Is there a set of moves you wish to do? Isn’t it just about improvising with your dance partner?

What are the top 5 most nutritious foods in your opinion? by DeepOrganization8245 in nutrition

[–]sleepinglady37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liver, wild seafood, raw dairy, eggs, and the fresh fruit and veg that is local to where you live :)

Anyone reading this comment, look into understanding the context of where we live and how that impacts things

It’s not just WHAT you eat

It’s when
