You only eat dinner?!! Blimey.

I'd say my weight's been fluctuating around 5kg since the start of December. I only tend to snore when I've been drinking (which I haven't been this week), but I seem to wake up either because I'm too hot, or because of a dream.

Kam, it could be possible that you are suffering of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Which could give you symptoms like you described. It isn't fun, can be painful sometimes and be the reason of many differents problems. If when you are stress it tend to do in your digestion system, this could be also a link to it.

Let me know if it could be it!

Drink loads of water for now!

It doesn't sound like OSA then, but it does help to lose the weight. I
have lost 2kgs for my New Year's resolution.

May be u should take a vacation

I don't think it's IBS, as I am fully functional without any problems in that area... I just guff a lot.

I think stress affects your whole body, and I'm feeling quite a lot of emotional stress at the moment. My mum is coming to visit in a week, I'm hoping that having her around will calm my nerves and help me relax.

Oh, and I aaaaalways drink loads of water! Litres of the stuff, love it!

Well done for losing that already. I find it extremely difficult to lose weight, although I must admit I'm not making as much effort as I could. I'm just trying to be "sensible" without obsessing over it. I'm sure you're right and that I'll feel better once I've lost some weight (I mean I can actually feel the extra fat, it's horrible!).

Ah... chance'd be a fine thing! Actually, my lifestyle isn't very hectic, I don't need more time to myself, quite the opposite actually. Wish I could take a holiday to Mexico.

LMAO, not heard that in years.
Nausea and fatigue, had your liver functions tested recently?

Never. But that sounds like something that would be affected by alcohol, doesn't it? I am definitely better than I was when I started this thread. Alcohol = bad. But also good.

Do you (or have in the past) drink Farmer beer (from Landi), in the brown 50cl bottle size?

This is enough to turn the guts of a Komodo dragon, and would more than explain your "guffing" and lethargic gut-rot feeling.

Okay, I am going to try for the one everybody forgets most often and is free, easy and perfectly safe to solve.

Are you drinking 2L of water per day? If not, give it a try. Get a 1.5 L bottle and make sure that you go through it at least in pure aqua!

A lot (a majority some health care professionals think) of fatigue, head-aches, nausea and many of these afflictions can just caused by being dehydrated. Stick to the water for a week or two at least though (if you are not doing it already) as your body needs to get used to actually getting the water. This should also help flush a lot of toxins out of your system.

For the telephone calls to Mexico, can I also suggest Skype pay-as-you-go to landlines which cost between 1.9 and 3 euro cents per minute. If your side Skype connection is good, then you will get a good connection to the landline in Mexico.

Other than that, best of luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Not really a beer drinker! Although, for the benefit of others reading, my OH always feels run down and bloated on beer.

I keep a 1.5L bottle next to the sofa and estimate I drink 3 bottles a day (ie. 4.5L a day). As far as calls to Mexico go, as I said before, no landline to ring so this is not possible.

Thanks!

Sorry about your gas troubles although you seem to enjoy the petards...makes for a fun read.

I think it is your heart. You do not know if he is ok, alive, well, still interested, the lack of communication is not very reasuring, is it. You should invest in your social life (and I don't mean drinking), reap the benefits of living here, hang out with nice people, find new frienships and hobbies, travel around and just give him and yourself a break without all the nerves. Long distance relationships are a major bitch. Write eachother nice letters, send little things, appreciate the distance...

I know he's still interested. He didn't ask me to move in with him (to a foreign country, no less) for no reason. I understand it's not his fault and that the situation is dictating when we can('t) talk. I do try and keep busy and, like I say, my mum's coming in a week. I can't wait - it will be so nice to have some company at home!
