Back to the drawing board, as I am not sure if it is the weather or the cider that is making me so hot, but I felt like a wet dish rag yet again last night!
I'm beginning to think, as think is all I can do thanks to the fact that I chucked out the tablet information into my rubbish bin without reading the do's and don'ts. That maybe the reason that you can only take Erdosteine for 10 days at a time is that they do react with certain things.
Guide lines are if my memory serves me well;
You can only take Erdosteine or Erdotin while taking a course of antibiotics. On most antibiotics you are advised not to drink alcohol at the same time. I've always wanted to know what happens if you mix the two, alcohol and tablets and I think I have found out by accident. Even though I waited for my 7 day course of antibiotics to finish, my Erdotin course is 10 days, a slight overlap, but same unhappy side effects by the looks of it.
Very hot sweats and a bit of a gippy tummy I'm afraid to say.
I had a friend round for lunch today, which was lovely as she is a sweet lady who is mature in her years, but always beautifully colour co-ordinationed and turned out, today is was in a beautiful turquoise blue colour.
As we both have a love of Turkish holidays, over lunch I showed her my photograph album of my various holidays there in Oludeniz.
In those photos was a very tanned healthy looking woman with the biggest smile going and that was me. My face is still tanned and I'm still smiling, but I'm a just a ghost of that woman in the photos, some only taken about four years ago.
My tummy had felt a bit unhappy from my tablet cocktail before she arrived and after she left, I had to dash to get to the toilet.
As I sat there on the loo feeling rather sorry for myself and my very hot bottom, I noticed a flash of blue coming up my garden path.
I managed to get myself together enough to answer the door to her, thinking that she had left something behind in the bungalow, but the blue outfit belonged to a very nice lady who was here to tell me about the wonders of the 'Watch Tower'. I'm not rude to any person of any chosen religion, but with my knickers in a tangle under my leggings from where I had yanked them up too quickly, I really wanted to tell her to go away, but I didn't. Though I was wiggling about like a flustered mad woman, which I rather think unnerved her.
Anyway....
After she left rapidly up the garden path, I sat resting on my sofa for a while. I had mentioned that since being retired that I love sitting in silence and that I notice things in even more detail than I already did.
Strangely enough for me, I have grown to like watching birds this summer and I have been intrigued and amused by what I call the teenagers. I think they are either thrushes or sparrows, as I'm not that up on makes of birds yet, but if they were in human years, they would definitely be adolescents. They all stay together in a pack and swoop from walls to roof tops altogether in a line.
They quite often all sit on my front wall and are all real little characters; the alpha males, the giggling girls, the fools of the pack and the ones trying to fit in, but always getting left behind.
So cute to watch especially when you feel like you should be sitting on a rubber ring!
So no cider tonight as I still have two more days of Erdotin to take. Lets see what makes me sweat tonight.
Lots of love Debbie x
