Try a few gentle stretches, and see if it eases off during the day, mind you when I take my pain kills I feel nothing, 60mg codeine and 1000mg of paracetamol off the morphine though.
ditto - I'm off the bike at the moment as well... bonked again at the weekend on the sunday ride - and badly which is an issue with my Addison's. 2nd time in 3 weeks (previously I had gone 12months without contracting the shakes and disorientation, inability to communicate or stand up etc) and have been 'under the weather' since, so have had to stay off the bike for the last few days, just resting and sleeping and looking at the blue skies trying hard to convince myself I would only burn if I went out in it.... also had to increase my steroids as well
I read, hope your improving.ditto - I'm off the bike at the moment as well... bonked again at the weekend on the sunday ride - and badly which is an issue with my Addison's. 2nd time in 3 weeks (previously I had gone 12months without contracting the shakes and disorientation, inability to communicate or stand up etc) and have been 'under the weather' since, so have had to stay off the bike for the last few days, just resting and sleeping and looking at the blue skies trying hard to convince myself I would only burn if I went out in it.... also had to increase my steroids as well
regards WD, and i hope you get well soon.
getting better, but did even drive last night (wasn't allowed to) when we had to go over to Macclesfield A&E after my sister collapsed at work, so I guess I still have some 'improving' to do yet. OH is probably not taking tomorrow off work now, so I'll have another day out of the saddle and hopefully be fit enough for Friday.

thanks - hopefully will do. tis just one of those things with my Addison's. I don't necessarily have to be ill enough to actually know I am ill just be fighting off a bug and it will wipe me out totally!
Take care. I suppose we can and do take our health for granted sometimes. Those of us who are, lucky health wise should count our blessings sometimes.
To be honest I dont much like riding in hot weather, but I know many wouldn't like the forecast, so in away it doesn't because as I like to see people out on their bikes, the only thing I draw a line at is ice as I don't have tyres for it, snow well I acquired a cheap m.t.b. someone was throwing out, so it might get used next winter if I can sort the rear wheel, or get a cheap replacement one, sorted everything else on it, well to the point it all works, some stuff could do with being replaced, cables, grips maybe shifters brake levers seem a bit naff too.Sorry @Nigelnaturist it has just started pouring down with rain, and i do believe there is hail mixed in with the rain. The wind is approaching 50 miles per hour, and i can hardly stand up. The forcast for the next few days is more of the same with a possibility of snow on high ground (thats me).
oh and it will be minus 2 at times. I hope my weather forcast cheers you up Nigel.
Normally physically I am fine, (mentally a wreck) though every now and again I get some sort of infection, the last time last July (this was later diagnosed as gallstones, had one this year though not as bad) I was out on the bike and within the space of 20 mins I went from being fine to completely disorientated, so much so I missed a turn and mistake the A1 as the road I wanted, and to this day I dont understand why as the two junctions and road layouts are completely different, so I ended up doing 2-3 miles on the southbound carriageway heading toward Doncaster and the A1M, however I had enough about me to realise the upcoming buildings were wrong, I wasn't lost but it took me sometime to find the road I needed, and then went the wrong way, I ended up doing another 19 miles or so, wear as if i had turn left (Northbound) on the A1 I would have been home in 8 miles, It was only my core fitness at the time that got me home, so I dont take it for granted (thats not implying you may think I did).
Comes from driving for a living for so long a lot of roads are just instinct, the thing is i knew it was wrong as I crossed the road (the A1, there is a tarmac path on the centre so I know people can cross there), but all I had in my head was take a right at the junction.
Go for it Mo, you do fine on here I would imagine much the same sort of thing.
