First day without duloxetine. Not bothered about mebeverine, except if IBS flares, but can manage that with diet I think. Appetite now returned and eating well. have gained 2lbs. Urine almost normal and am now able to potter around the house for a few hours at a time. Off to gp surgery for more blood tests and to collect a further 4wk sick note. My son comes with me as I haven't driven for some weeks and he is worried about me. We had a lovely evening last night, enjoyed a meal and a snuggle with tea and cookies whist watching TV. He was so caring and concerned about me. I miss him so much but am so proud of the man he has become.We pop to see M's mum who he hasn't seen for some time, then back for lunch with M, who agrees to give him a head shave with her dog clippers! Feeling weak and tired again, so M takes him to the station whilst I return to bed.

AGHHH.............urine very dark again and eyes still looking yellow. Am beginning to get very anxious about results on Monday.............what if he's wrong and we still don't know the cause? What if the steroids are just calming the inflammation and not the cause? In the evening, a customer brings round a huge meal for us, complete with side dishes, wine and non alcohol wine for my poor liver. Home made banoffee pie for afters, delicious. It was so thoughtful and kind of them. We are usually so independent and find it hard to accept others help, but were truly grateful for this.

Hooray.............urine normal again (my life has become a study in bodily functions, not good for general conversation). The same customer calls to take one of our dogs out for us in the morning. This seems like a huge imposition on her but she is adamant. Unfortunately the said dog decides to roll repeatedly in fox poo whist on the walk requiring a full shampoo and hose down on return...............I'm sure this was not what they had planned for their relaxing Sunday!
Still not sleeping but have a little more energy.
