Your lass is bare-arse farting on your eye while you sleep. Not a doubt in my mind. 

More likely Callum. 🙂

Blepharitis? I wrote a guideline on this in another lifetime.

I might pop down to the pharmacy.  I have been avoiding wearing my contact lenses and doing what that says.  Warm compress. 

 

I think last few weeks have been irritating me and I have been rubbing my eye more so maybe just an infection.

Just walked into the pharmacy. Absolutely nobody in.  I asked can someone look at my eye. Bloke said 'Sorry I am the only pharmacist in and fully booked up'  I looked around and just laughed.  Looked at him and asked when is the next availability to be told to look online.

Feeling incredibly shit for the past few months with tiredness, runny nose and brain fog, occasional pins and needles and thirstier than usual. Thought it was a side effect of the medication for the tinnitus / omeprazole for the GERD but came off them and no better, also thought it was a side effect of 3 young bairns . I have one that is up at 5:30 every morning, comes into our room then I cant get back to sleep.

 

My gut is that its possibly Type 2 diabetes so going to ring the GP tomorrow if I can get an appointment. Brother had pre-diabetes just before his heart attack 10 years ago (genetic, im in the clear on that front!) Have had a full blood count done in the last few weeks with the GERD, thyroid and all clear.

 

Wife has told me to man up and do more exercise  

 

Got tests back, got full works done, full blood count, thyroid, iron, Magnesium, B12 all look normal, so I don't have diabetes  

 

Inflammation (CRP and ESR both slightly elevated) about 12 and 15 but doc off today and not seen the results but back on Mon, so asked if she would give me a call. Could well be post viral fatigue / long covid if everything else looks normal. No real evidence of ME / MS / MND in the family so fairly confident it isnt that  

 

Was feeling grand with the wee man for the match on Weds, we walked 25k steps on Weds, stood most of the game in LWC L7 and 17k steps yesterday, absolutely fecked today mind you! Sleeping and eating well.
