Morning everyone.

Damp, dismal and dreary here. But due to get pretty decent soon.

Managed to get my laptop to dual boot with Win 10 Pro & Ubuntu. Much prefer Ubuntu but there's a couple of things that will only work with Win. Bit of a faff but got there in the end.

Take care.

You are quite correct - the bed was definitely pulling this morning. Bright sunshine through the window, but a light frost overnight = stay in bed
Got a small amount of pain in my arm where the vaccine needle went in last night, but no sign of any other side effects.

Hi Steve, like yourself, I am on blood thinners. One of the side effects is stomach ulcers. I had been on Omeprazole 20mg daily to prevent the ulcers, but last year it stopped working and I had an episode of vomiting lots of blood. I needed an emergency gastroscopy and the bleeding point was caused by a large stomach ulcer, the bleed was stopped using diathermy and tying off. I was on nil by mouth for a week and got better on a new medication called Pantoprazole 40mg which I take twice a day. 6 months later, another Endoscopy showed the ulcer is healed. Unfortunately I have to continue with the blood thinners for the rest of my life.

I am wondering if you would benefit from an Endoscopy - the mouth end to check on the cause of your symptoms?

Hi Phil, up til recently I had regular endoscopies, stopped when they changed my blood pressure med. I have no desire for another one!

I'm currently one - nil up against the long tails! I know there was at least two on the go.
