Just popping in for a flying visit to see how you are doing, David!

Hopefully your neutrophils will soon be on the upward path and the mouth problems will improve shortly.

Hi Amelia
I am sorry to hear of John's problem.

Have you read the thread in one of the other forums about itching to see if any of it applies?

Tanjooberrymutts for posting that!!

Wow!! That would be easy to fall for at this time of year.
Thanks for the heads-up, Roz.

Thanks for that link, David!!

Hi David!
I have been having monthly bisphonate (zelodrenate) drips since being diagnosed with raised IgE levels early this year and apparently will do so for the forseeable future.

I have had no side effects from it at all. The procedure is simple and takes about 1/2 hour in total, just meaning I sit in the ward reading a book while it…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for your input, it looks as if definitely will be worth having done, as the pain is what stops me from being active. My hubby has a bad back from disc problems and is limited in how far he can walk, so pushing me around in wheelchairs has not helped him at all.

We have bought a small mobility scooter for me to be able to wizz…[Read more]

Hi Fran

I have been OK since coming out of hospital and am now down to a doctor's appointment every 2 weeks or so plus monthly bisophonate and pentamadine nebuliser sessions.

Though I did pick up a stinking cold a fortnight ago which is taking its time to go away and stops me getting out much at present as I don't want to pass on my cold…[Read more]

Welcome to our family, Susan.

It sounds as if your Dad is a true fighter to have got back onto his feet again.

I am sure there are walking aids that they can let him try to see if they will help him move around while he becomes stronger without risking falling. Maybe asking his specialist nurse would help?

One piece of kit my husband…[Read more]

Oh, Roz, my heart goes out to you and Michael.
I am praying that they can get on top of this new problem and start to bring your Michael back to being himself soon.

Hugs to you

Hi Roz!!

There were times when I was in hospital that i ignored my mobile and didn't respond as I didn't feel like talking to anyone, so don't read too much into Michael not picking up.

The staff should be able to keep you informed as to when he is to be sent back to the Hallamshire, as probably they will know more about it than he does, so…[Read more]

Hi Keith
Sorry to hear your pain has returned after 2 and a 1/2 years of remission.
I hope your skeletal survey helps them decide quickly what needs to be done.

Hi Fran!!

We are about in the same time frame as regards diagnosis, but I had my STC in August and am now at day 81!!

I wish you the best of experiences during your hospital stay and not too many of the nasty side-effects, if any at all.

Will you be able to get online while you are there? I found it really helped to pass the time…[Read more]

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I almost sprayed my keyboard with high strength Lemsip!!

Thanks for all you are doing, Stuart!

And thank you for fixing it so we don't have to fill in the subject box unless we want to change it to something different.
