Sorry I was absent... I have a note...

Hey everyone. This is the first of what I hope will be many new posts.

No, I'm not feeling all that much better, but I've decided I have to try to get back onto this, if only for the sake of my writing.

I've done nothing for the majority of the year, no writing, no editing, nothing, and here's why.

I started with a general feeling of 'blergh' - just not up to the mark, lethargic and listless. I tried to shake it off a few times, but began to feel dizzy, and tired at odd times of the day. I drove over to my daughter's house one morning and noticed my new glasses seemed to be reacting strangely with the windscreen of the car (yes, I know, that was a daft thing to think). I finally realised it wasn't my glasses or the car windscreen, but my eyes. I had double-vision and so realised it wasn't safe to drive.

I also have an issue with lymph nodes close to the nape of my neck and a buzzing in my right ear.

I've been to the doc a couple of times but an appointment to see a consultant is not scheduled until mid-December. I may have to go back soon.

On a lighter note, I've started an Etsy shop Link because the only thing I've felt up to doing is crochet - I don't get affected by the dizziness when sitting down (I don't stumble or fall) - and watching television (Crime documentaries are favourite right now, as well as historical documentaries) is just about do-able if I don't try to read subtitles.

The crime and historical documentaries have given me a few ideas on stories, but I can't promise the volume I once wrote. Even this post is making my eyes ache, so I'm going to give it a rest for a while.

Thanks for reading. I miss you guys xxx

One drawback of this dizziness is that I can't put a lot of work into the online shop. This is a shawl/scarf I have to write a description for... I chose to write on Steemit instead.

This is a dragon egg bag/purse. I made one for Glenn's wife's birthday and I've not delivered it yet. Sorry @alienbutt, I'll get over to see you soon!

Dragon egg uu 😉looks very nice 😄.Hope you will feel better.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.

Sorry to read about your issues and I hope everything will be ok as so as possible! Reading the first part of this post I immediatly thought about the synthoms I had when my thyroid problem (I have ipo-thyroid problems) started to not work well. I hope your feeling better soon, dear Michelle.

Debe ir al medico para que se haga algún chequeo. Cuando se inflaman los ganglios es un alerta a algún síntoma.
Michelle esta como todos los que estamos a veces en steemit con desanimo por los bajos precios de las criptomonedas pero debemos seguir adelante..

Gracias, ya me hice un par de análisis de sangre. Tengo una consulta a mediados de diciembre, pero también me recomendaron que fuera en privado y también estoy considerando esa vía.

Thank you so much, Silvia. I think there has to be a few more tests done before we figure out what's wrong. I'll mention the thyroid theory.

Your appointment is a month away - buy a glucose monitor (they're not expensive) and test your blood sugar

That's a good idea too! Thank you :)

I'm sorry that you haven't been well. I assumed you were really busy writing when you were a bit quiet on here. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Thank you xx

No writing so far, but I think this is helping. Getting back into it is difficult, but I'll get there :)

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I kinda wondered what happened. You had talked about starting on another platform, so I figured you were hanging out over there. Glad you're back though. Hopefully the doctor is able to figure out what's going on and get you back into fighting/writing shape.

Thank you. No, I've not been active on any other platform. I've joined a few but none have the same appeal at Steemit.
