Finally finished in time for our sheep fair!
I've got long covid so working out the stitches was hard. I had a basic pattern but I changed yarn and needle size. I altered sleeves and used a motif for the dog, but just a simple design for sheep. I knitted the head and sewed on. It's kept me going through difficult days, now ready for another project! :)
Just had my stereotactic needle biopsy (oh the joy) now waiting for results. I've read that a cluster can be pre or cancerous. Just seeking reassurance from anyone who has experienced similar that it might be benign but if it is more serious, could it just be a possible dcis or an invasive but early stage thing.
I'm hoping it's early stage treatable with lumpectomy. Results in 2 weeks so a bit agitated. I just hope it's an early stage prognosis. Any anecdotes appreciated!
The first time I ever heard of this, it was a paramedic who came after a near fainting, palpitations episode. He asked me if I'd had covid recently, I was unsure but had a weird bunch of symtoms 2 weeks previously.
It made sense as my symtoms were typical long covid.
Just wondering if anyone has a post covid dysautonomia and how it manifests for you, what were your symptoms? Any tips on coping etc..
A recent thing for me. I'm long covid which triggered mcas for me. Last week it was after rich milk chocolates, only had 2 but caused restless legs.
Yesterday evening had a glass of orange juice plus a satsuma, same thing happened.
Any anecdotes appreciated!!
New to this. I had 2 rich chocolates yesterday evening and couldn't sleep last night. First experience of rls! Now I know how debilitating this is. It's 8a.m now and my legs are still tingling. I've always been caffeine sensitive and any stimulants affect me, more so since long covid. Just wondering if this will wear off as caffeine leaves my system... Any anecdotes appreciated!
Suddenly had this last night after a couple of chocolates which were very rich, obvs high in caffeine/cacoa.
Has anyone had this as a long covid symptom?
I avoid stimulants, drink d - caf tea, no alcohol so this has floored me.
I stopped my simply 3 arrows, I ran out, waiting for the new order (been 10 days). I thought I'd be less constipated but no, I've been worse! Any ideas why this happens?
My new supply will take about a week but just wondering if my ferritin will drop, any Intel appreciated!
It's so dry and straw like. Ordinary conditioners don't work. Please advise!
Have just run out of my regular supplements, won't get new lot for a week, do you think my ferritin will tank in that time?
I've been on 3 arrows 20mg one per day and ferritin went from 19 to 27 over 2 months. Yes, I know it's a low dose but even this causes constipation. Just wondering if megafood might be similar and if anyone had tried both. I'm long covid and mega sensitive to any meds.

I just need to pause for a few days to reduce constipation. Would ferritin levels plummet or stay the same? If anyone had any insight, I'd really appreciate it :)

Very occasionally I'll get this sensation and I'm thinking histamine. I havent taken my antihistamines for a few days so maybe that. Been under big stress and I'm long covid, plus high grass pollen here in UK. Slightly off piste with some foods but nothing major. Any anecdotes appreciated!
I react badly to lidocaine even a small amount on my mouth ulcer caused palpitations, dizziness, huge anxiety.
Having read the awful experiences of biopsies, I'm a wreck, if anyone has had an alternative please let me know. Also any positive biopsy experiences out there?
I'm 69, in UK, have had mammogram every 3 years, all been OK. NOw been recalled. Obvs anxiety is high. My mother sadly died of BC at age 58. No other direct family members on her side have.
Any reassurance appreciated!
I will add that in my 30s I had a mammogram and was told it's calcification. Which I understand can be a forerunner to cancer. Any anecdotes appreciated. I'm a natural worrier and only recently feeling much improved from long covid.
Oh, also will add I had a trainee doing it this time but it was really uncomfy so switched to the qualified nurse who supervised.
This is the back of a crew neck sweater. Front is a bit lower. No instructions on the pattern for this, so any advice on stitch pickup much appreciated!!
Bought pattern on etsy (for beginners!!!). Seller was totally unhelpful just said 'it will all be clear when you get to that bit!!'
