into smart clothes for agency appointent in Bracknell, almost ready, major attack of the stomach gremlins. Had been feeling hot-and-cold all morning, but it's got worse. Dashing to the bathroom several times in midst of typing evaluation probably not best idea, so am rearranging for tomorrow or Friday. Really need to work out what this is. I don't know what the temperature changes can be; I need to find my Feverscan thermometer and work out if I actually have a fever or if it's something else.

My hands and bits of my legs feel hot, most of the rest of me feels cold, especially the back of my neck. Clothing or lack of same does not change the discomfort, it just shifts it around a little.

Sounds rather like my bug of Saturday evening-Tuesday afternoon. I did have a fever but only a little. Headache, stomach upset, shakes and wobbles. Hope you feel better soon!

Thing is, I get it quite often. I don't feel sick particularly, or get actual pain anywhere, I just feel very hot and cold all over, which is uncomfortable, and have an upset stomach. I'm okay for things at home, but I don't want to travel to Bracknell and talk to recruitment agents when feeling like this. It is not an infrequent occurrence, often coinciding with menstrual whatsits (which it does not at the moment). I think I might have some Other Problem, because this is Not Normal.

Have you tried drinking peppermint tea for the stomach gremlins? If you feel vaguely nauseasous but are not being physically sick then it could be something like IBS. I used to get this a lot when I was younger and peppermint tea and a glass of wine in the evening used to help a lot.

Peppermint is supposed to be very good for unhappy tummys.

Hi taimatsu! *adds to friends* Good luck with the job hunting. One question - you say you are available for at least a year - what is happenning after that?

Some day I will return to university. :) When depends on when I find something I want to study. It might be next year, it might be in three or even five years' time.
