Hi Ann,
Welcome (?) to the Forum. As you have found us today it would seem you already have been searching the WWW. There is a lot of duff/out of date information out there. You only really need two sites this one and the Macmillan site. This is an excellent site and all the information on it is up to date and if that is not enough we…[Read more]

Tell the Doctor the family history and ask him to investigate for signs of MM.

It tends to stay with you I think, it certainly has with me, but it has reduced in intensity. Now it is there but I hardly notice it, when it started I could hardly walk.

I cannot think of any "sayings" I use although I probably do so without thinking.
I do remember that there was a saying that went "If you want to know what your wife will look like in 20 years time look at her mother" and that would fit in with your comments. Although I must say after 49 years of marriage my wife does not look like her Mother…[Read more]

Hi Jean, I would try to keep Frank, and yourself of course, away from anybody with a cold/cough etc… if you can. Ask friends not to call if they have been in contact with someone who has had any form of infection. Avoiding shaking hands or any physical contact with other people is something else you can do.
The normal range for a healthy…[Read more]

Thanks Guys and Gals, I would add that I am not complaining in the least.
My Consultant said basically the same thing i.e. "the good news is your body is fighting them" he also added that my general blood measurements were all in the normal range so not to worry and keep taking the Soluble Paracetamol when needed.
It certainly has not…[Read more]

It is now some 15 months since my SCT. I took a daily antibiotic for the first 12 months post SCT and that has now been stopped.
Since stopping I have had two coughs/colds and I noticed somebody mentioned them in a recent post. I feel perfectly fine and I would not say that there is anything unusual about them. I just wondered if they are…[Read more]
