What is your body recovering from?

A dose, a bug, a week, a decade. — asked by Tomás

PerdyShrewsbury, UK

Reflux disease properly investigated at last, after a year of being told to raise the bed.

Gwen DAberystwyth, UK

Nothing physical. Mood, though, and I have told my prescriber rather than waiting to see.

Grizel Take the win. Quietly if you like, but take it.

OttaviaBologna, IT

Third day after a step up is always the worst. Knowing does not help but it does make it survivable.

7

NixLeith, UK

Dizzy standing up twice, badly enough that I sat down on the pavement. Dehydration. Fixed with actual water.

7

TavishIsle of Skye, UK

A rash that was the plaster, not the medicine.

9

SableCape Town, ZA

Reflux, mildly, and only when I lie down too soon after eating. Manageable.

A rash that was the plaster, not the medicine.

6

BoWhitby, UK

Sore throat and a cold, entirely unrelated, and it flattened me more than it should have.

Wilf Please do put it down for the evening if you can.

CatoAntwerp, BE

My gut has settled completely and it took about five months.

6

Leif I did exactly the same and felt awful about it. You have done nothing wrong.

FreyaReykjavík, IS

Hair. Month four. I know it is common and I am not being reasonable about it this week.

7

Nkosi Toast is a perfectly good answer and always has been.

Bell ANorwich, UK

Stomach cramps I did not like the shape of, so I rang. Told to be seen the same day. It was fine.

7

BramwellNottingham, UK

Dizzy standing up twice, badly enough that I sat down on the pavement. Dehydration. Fixed with actual water.

6

MorayElgin, UK

Vision felt off for a day. Optician the same week, sent straight on, all clear.

7

HarriSwansea, UK

Cold hands constantly. Bloods normal. Nobody knows and I have stopped worrying about it.

7

Linnet Ten years of that mask. Enormous.

NerysRhyl, UK

Bloating in the evenings and nothing in the mornings. Odd but liveable.
