Hey Sophie and everyone!! So nice to hear from you.... Well, I'm still or should I better say "again" doing very badly at the moment. My weakness seemed to get better around Sunday/Monday of last week and I already was so delighted about that fact and felt happy to slowly get better, when I was hit by another very heavy cold during the night of Monday to Tuesday. I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night with fever and a sore throat.... I couldn't believe it. The second cold within 4 weeks!! I fear I didn't feed the first cold in starts October enough, I should have given my body the rest it surely would had needed... Well, I felt so bad that I couldn't even leave my bed for cooking lunch or so. I stayed in bed for about at least 3 days with again loosing very much sweat because of the fever and what should I say: This week the weakness has rosen up again and in a much much heavier way as it was 2 weeks ago when I posted here.... :-( My muscles seem to have no energy left at all... Even lifting one of my arms feels impossible to manage... I nearly can't hold my head over the wash basin while brushing my teeth. The other thing that has hit me on top around Thursday of last week is my period. It came up so regular that I nearly could set a clock at its arrival (well, perhaps the only thing which I'm still very proud of, my period is here after 1,5 years without Yasmin and it came up completely by itself)... And the bleeding was very very heavy again (after the last two periods had been very light and short and nearly not there...) and it's still not stopped completely until today... So I think you can say that there are too many facts together at the moment, that are bringing my whole body in a mess.... And today I'm feeling very sad and despaired about all that, and not to forget: always afraid of getting where I was 2 years ago (ok, though I'm not really believing this, because I know that the Yasmin was the cause of all that and it's no longer there!)... It's so hard to believe, that I will be feeling better again in a few days or weeks, though everyone around me keeps telling me. OMG will this nightmare ever have an end?? I'm trying to take some Magnesium and such things to help my body with the loss of elecrolytes (which I guess has happened because of the cold). I hope it will help somehow.... Thank you so much Sophie, you caught me in a very weak moment with your post and it was so good to read your words!! Thank you (and all the other wonderful ladies here) for thinking about me and still helping me through this..... Best wishes Silke PS: I'll let you know how things go on in the next few weeks......
