All week I've been bleary-eyed, tired, sniffling, cold and aching. I've been dosing myself up on vitamins, fresh fruit, water and lemsip cold and flu capsules, but none of it seems to be helping. I've eaten spicy foods and garlic cloves which normally knock any cold out of me completely but no. I'm wearing warm clothes to work, scarves and gloves, the heating is on in the house and I'm not cold in my bed but I can't seem to shake this icky feeling at all.
Last night was the worst, I tossed and turned for ages and just couldn't sleep because my kidney was hurting so much. I even had a little cry to myself before finally drifting off into a dream.
So on my way to work this morning I stopped in at my Doctor's surgery and saw a nurse who gave me Diclofenac painkillers and told me I'd need to come back next week for blood tests. Great :( *sigh* Really hate blood tests and hate waiting for the results even more - but not as much as I hate being in pain I guess. I'm pretty sure that I have more stones waiting to be passed, or some which have passed and left an infection behind. It all seems horribly reminiscent of 2 years ago when I had my first attack of renal cholic :(
