                <description><![CDATA[As this is a micro-blogging site, which has few users, I may just use it to vent about what&#039;s happening on my journey to health, i.e. Slighe gu Slàinte.I suffer from multiple chronic conditions. Some days I&#039;m fine, sometimes all are kicking me around, but mostly only one is having an impact. I never know which it&#039;s going to be, and the situation can change from minute to minute, hour to hour, etc. I&#039;m struggling to get my health back on track, but it feels like I&#039;m losing the battle most of the ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Everyone who has ever had a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy knows that the bowel prep you have to take up to 48 hours beforehand is the worst part of the whole process. You basically don&#039;t leave the bathroom for 24 hours. Hell, I&#039;ve even slept (well, dozed) on my bathroom floor before. I have a colonoscopy on Monday. This means a countdown of seven days, staring with a low fibre diet, which also makes my diabetes worse. Unfortunately, I already had a bad case of diarrhoea and incontinence this week...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Tuesday was my pre-operative assessment. Not had this as an outpatient before, so didn&#039;t realise it involved an ECG, blood tests and a 45-minute interview. Luckily, my new tumbler keeps water cold enough that I have increased my fluid intake, so the blood test was taken from my arm, and it was an easy draw.Thanks to some friends, I didn&#039;t have to navigate the buses, etc., and rocked up early. It was all done so quickly, thankfully, as I had only managed two hours&#039; sleep that night. Afterwards, m...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Another night of pain and diarrhoea kept me awake. Rather than do something utterly mind-numbing despite overwhelming tiredness, I decided to distract myself somewhat. How? you ask. By transcribing £1 recipes from the YouTube channel, Wearywolf Adventures.Most recipes I have saved come from groups for Diabetics or IBD sufferers. Despite using bookmarks, they somehow disappear, so I copy/paste them into a Canva template and save them to my drives to sync with my phone. When I cook, I have the pho...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a childish title inspired by this app&#039;s creator. It is also what I have been dealing with an excess of these past 48 hours. I&#039;ve literally only taken water on board, as any and all food is exiting faster than it is being consumed. I&#039;ve had pain so bad that I&#039;ve been taking painkillers, significant blood loss with every expulsion, and the inevitable lack of sleep as I am held captive in the bathroom. I&#039;m beyond tired, hungry and fed up.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Once again, sleep has eluded me. Just 4h 40m and I&#039;m wide awake.I&#039;ve been battling this particular beast since childhood. My sibling has had the same issue since childhood, and we frequently swap ideas. Melatonin sometimes works, but not always, and it&#039;s not a long-term solution. I&#039;ve tried everything over the years. Sleeping pills, which left me feeling like I hadn&#039;t slept at all, put me off being medicated.As I also struggle with fatigue, when you add a lack of quality sleep, it&#039;s (almost) imp...]]></description>
