Right.

Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated.

Manageable.

Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to anybody. That seems worth noticing.

Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid.

The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like something happening to me at random.

Wood to season.

That is a real thing and it is not trivial. Do not let anyone tell you it is only hair.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.
