What is your body asking for that you have been ignoring?

Water, sleep, a GP appointment, a sit down. Usually one of those four. — asked by Tomás

GwilymCaernarfon, UK

Two weeks of feeling wrong that turned out to be a thyroid dose needing adjusting.

Gigi Thank you for the honest version.

NettieBarrow, UK

Fatigue, still, and it has been more than a fortnight, so I am raising it properly at the review.

HollisBath, UK

Pain under the ribs going round to my back last night. I went in. It was investigated. I would go again.

3

CloverTotnes, UK

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

Rilla Ten years of that mask. Enormous.

BrennaEnniskillen, NI

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

Petua Ordinary is the aim, so this counts as good news.

PriyaReading, UK

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

GwynforLlanidloes, UK

Cramp in both calves twice this week. Mentioned it. Having bloods rather than being told to eat a banana.

The burping. Nobody puts it in the leaflet and it is one of the odder experiences of my adult life.

Ashwin I hope the appeal goes your way. Petra is worth asking.

AbramAmsterdam, NL

Sulphur burps. I have learned a phrase I did not want.

ColNewquay, UK

Everything quiet. Week 1 and I have very little to report, which is the best kind of entry.

BronteHaworth, UK

OdileMontreal, CA

Constipation, which I have avoided saying for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. Ringing the pharmacist tomorrow.

5

ZenBristol, UK

Headache for three days and then I realised I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday.
